This bibliography and paper provide a brief overview of empirical studies that attempt to apply the insights of modern psychology to architecture. Items are discussed under headings of scientific research, methodology, perceptual studies, the use of space, interpersonal distance, personality development, learning, decision-related research, and…

This course is designed to teach the student to perform basic mathematics operations correctly. It consists of seven lessons and an examination as follows: Introduction to Arithmetic and Whole Numbers, Common Franctions, Decimals, Unit Conversion, Ratios and Proportions, Percentage, Powers and Roots, and the examination. The course uses the…

The engineering manpower situation has changed within the last two years from shortage to surplus. Prediction indicates a continuing decline in demand until last 1970. The demand for engineers is predicted up to 1974, where it is estimated that the demand will exceed the supply by about 12,000. (PR)

The purpose of this report is to characterize American graduate education in the 1960s and to identify many of the issues that will determine the character, magnitude, and direction of graduate education, especially in the sciences and engineering, during the next decade. In Chapter 1, Dimensions of Graduate Education, some of the salient features…

Reported is a study in which teaching objectives for the use of a case method in engineering instruction were formulated from the literature, and rated by 30 engineering professors acquainted with the method. There was agreement that the case method aims at (1) coveying knowledge of what engineers do and how they work, (2) developing skill in…

This report gives examples of diverse educational strategies in science and engineering education to illustrate the capabilities of the PLATO III computer-based education system. The basic structure of the TUTOR language is discussed and some technical details are given to explain how the PLATO III system works. A brief description of the…

The purpose of this study was to collect and interpret facts relating to the need for, and use of, continuing education by research and development (R and D) scientists and engineers in large industrial and government R and D laboratories. The top management, personnel executives, training executives, scientists, and engineers employed at various…

The general origin and role of the technician is discussed. The concept of the Marine Technician evolves from considerations of past practices, community needs, and actions taken to meet these needs. The role of the supporting community is discussed and significant factors for a successful program outlined. Photos are presented to emphasize the…

This handbook brings together previously scattered materials and clarifies their applicability to scrubber technology. The various aspects of scrubber use and present engineering design methods are reviewed, and actual experience on hundreds of scrubber installations in various industries is presented in a condensed form. Many related topics such…

This annotated listing of curriculum materials is provided to inform planners, administrators, vocational educators, and others interested in vocational education programs of the available curriculum materials in technical education developed by the various States. The materials have been identified with the instructional titles and codes from the…

This document is the second of a three-volume series of panel reports compiled by the Commission on Marine Science, Engineering and Resources. Contained in this volume are part V, Report of the Panel on Industry and Private Investment, and part VI, Report of the Panel on Marine Engineering and Technology. Major recommendations presented in part V…

The author views the primary purpose of the modern engineering laboratory as teaching the student how to experiment. An attempt is made to update the engineering laboratory and make it generally meaningful for all students, whether headed for graduate school or an industrial job. The intent is to broaden the experimental picture so that students…

Six of the special reports contained in this volume of articles concerned with trends in the sciences are related to problems of human population, pollution, and drug and insecticide regulation; two are on astronomy; three report on aspects of psychology and behavior; and there is one report each on marine ecology, atomic physics, Japanese…

New arrangements for craft training in the British engineering industry call for a three stage structure: (1) a year of basic training in a wide variety of skills (welding, vehicle painting, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and others); (2) selected training in specialized skills under controlled conditions; (3) experience in using…

Human resources data (HRD) inputs often fail to influence system development. This study investigated the possibility that these inputs are sometimes deficient in quantity or timing. In addition, the effect upon design of different personnel quality and quantity requirements was analyzed. Equipment and HRD inputs which were produced during actual…
