This publication is an annotated bibliography of technical books and monographs sponsored by the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) and its predecessor agencies. These entries have been published by commercial publishers, nonprofit institutions and organizations, and the federal government. The books and monographs are grouped…

The purpose of this module is to develop a general procedure to decide the feasibility of land application as a waste management alternative, given a specific problem situation. This information provides a framework within which to apply the information presented in all other modules in the program. An outline of the general procedure followed in…

This report presents data compiled as part of a comprehensive program to measure and analyze the nation's resources expended for research and development (R&D). R&D spending in the United States is expected to reach $51 billion in 1979, 9% over the 1978 level. The R&D expenditures are expected to account for 2.2% of the gross national…

A description is provided for a Corrosion and Corrosion Control course offered in the Continuing Engineering Education Program at the General Motors Institute (GMI). GMI is a small cooperative engineering school of approximately 2,000 students who alternate between six-week periods of academic study and six weeks of related work experience in…

In this report, two feasibility studies for international airports in the Far East, at Jakarta, Indonesia, and at Hong Kong, are described. For each situation, questions concerning the utilization and development of available facilities, future needs, and sources of finance were among questions investigated. This paper describes steps involved in…

The problem of educating foreign engineering students who will return to their home countries is discussed. Often these students are from economically underdeveloped countries, and they therefore may not be able to apply the sophisticated technology of their educational programs to the problems of their own countries. One suggestion is that these…

This report summarizes the data about minority group scientists and engineers obtained as part of a national survey of scientific and engineering personnel in 1972. Information pertaining to minority group college students enrolled in engineering is also discussed briefly. Within the 1972 scientist and engineering populations, racial minority…

This course is part of an engineering certification program for men inspecting construction projects. It presumes some high school training in mathematics and science. The course begins with examples showing the importance of mathematics on the job. Following that is a section on algebra, one on geometry, and one on trigonometry. (KM)

A discussion of the problem of providing multidisciplinary education in transportation and a means for educators to communicate their approaches and experiences provided the purpose of the conference. Among the areas discussed were the comprehensiveness of transportation education, societal issues, systems aspects, transportation research,…

Cited are the educational challenges of undergraduate, graduate, and professional engineering programs; the main emphasis is on the challente to provide engineering education for non-engineering students at both the undergraduate and adult levels. The need for such a program stems from a conviction that no citizen can be considered educated in…

The Augmented Human Intellect (AHI) system is a computer-based system designed to store, structure, and retrieve textual information in a way congruent with the characteristics of the individual. It provides for the hierarchical ordering of information and for the manipulation of text through a system of cross-referencing, modification, and…

Based on the premise that there are major changes occurring in the programs and/or curricula in engineering schools of today, the author suggests that to focus on the potential of recycling as a natural vehicle would powerfully implement some of the trends in sight in an inventive engineering educational enterprise. His suggestions are given in…

The author presents both optimistic and pessimistic news about the future use of technicians in management and supervisory positions. He is optimistic because of the efforts by industry and education to solve difficulty personnel problems; pessimistic because of the complexity of the organizational structure necessary to manage technical…

This report presents data compiled as part of a comprehensive program to measure and analyze the nation's resources expended for research and development. R&D spending in the United States is expected to reach $38.1 billion in 1976, 8 percent above the 1975 level. For the first time in three years, R&D funds are expected to increase in…

This publication presents data on research and development expenditures in fiscal year 1975 at all institutions granting doctorate or master's degrees in the sciences and engineering and all others that spend $50,000 or more for research and development. The expenditures are characterized according to source of funds, type of R & D activity, and…
