The fundamentals of products liability law are provided to aid the engineer and engineering student in the design and manufacture of products that are not only safe but also in harmony with the demands of the law. (MLH)

The survey reported in this document was undertaken to determine the experience and opinions concerning written technical communications of prominent and successful engineers in a wide variety of engineering fields. A questionnaire sent to 245 engineers asked 11 specific questions, 8 of which dealt with the respondents' own experiences and the…

This publication is a collection of 15 illustrated papers presented at a symposium at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1975. Manpower specialists examined the present utilization of manpower in each of several science and engineering fields. Past projections of supply and demand were compared with what…

This report consolidates information on the engineering population - numbers, employment patterns, educational levels, personality, technical obsolescence - and probes the implications of current social and employment trends. Included are: data and analyses of the engineering education system seen in the context of the changing world; the…

Career planning seminars conducted by the Student Activities Committee of the Los Angeles Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics are discussed. The seminars address a forecast of trends in engineering; a discussion of opportunities in new engineering areas; and consideration of individual career goals. A sampling of a…

Today, product liability cases seem to be increasing rapidly in both number and extent of liability of the manufacturer. Where analysis of defects and failures was once of interest to the enlightened company, it could well become a necessity for survival of all in the future. The materials engineer is likely to find many opportunities for…

This paper describes ideas initiated as a step toward reaching a better understanding of the design process, the factors affecting engineering design, and how the engineering design process might be beneficially influenced. The starting point for the effort was a consideration of: (1) the recent historical development of Systems Engineering, and…

The scalar electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most important and commonly used clinical tools in medicine. A detailed description of the recordings of cardiac electrical activity made by the ECG is presented, and the vast numbers of uses made with the data provided by this diagnostic tool are cited. Clinical applications of the ECG are listed.…

This is the sixth volume in a UNESCO series of comparative studies designed to establish the conceptual bases of the comparability of programs and degrees at various stages of training and to ascertain the general criteria for determining international equivalences in order to simplify recognition of degrees or diplomas obtained at other…

This directory of engineering college research and graduate study is designed to promote the cause of graduate study in engineering by setting forth admission requirements, faculty, enrollments, degrees, fields of advanced study, appointments available to graduate students, and other data. It also presents information on engineering colleges and…

Reported is the development of a self-instructional course in engineering statics designed for engineering students that has been implemented in several institutions. There are 15 unit modules in the course divided into three different levels. Each unit begins with a description of general objectives. The unit is then divided into several subunits…
