Discusses several reasons for requiring senior design projects in electrical engineering technology (EET). Describes the senior design project program in EET at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. Lists points to consider regarding management of a projects program for faculty engaged in or contemplating such an approach. (CS)

The purpose of this article is to help the pre-college student to consider whether he or she wishes to undertake preparation for a career in engineering. Discussed are educational paths and career opportunities. (Author/RE)

The results are presented of a survey of structural design engineers to determine current attitudes toward existing design specifications, techniques of analysis, and basic fundamentals. (BB)

Lists the following information for the school year 1975-76 for 200 institutions of engineering education: administrative officers, number of faculty, graduate degree requirements, off-campus extension centers for graduate study, research areas of accepted doctoral theses, personnel engaged in separately budgeted research, and research expeditures…

Undergraduate and graduate students are often confused about several aspects of modeling physical systems. Describes an approach to address these issues using a single physical transport problem that can be analyzed with multiple mathematical models. (DKM)

A thinking model was designed to overcome engineering students' stereotypical notions about the environment. It contains objective, transparent, and progressive evaluation schemes; management tools; performance indicators; and impact assessment. It is based on the formation of values related to sustainability. (SK)
