Describes computer utilization in the engineering curriculum at a community college, placing special emphasis on meeting the needs of student learning styles. (Author/CMV)

Presents a biographical sketch and lists qualifications of John B. Slaughter, a successful Black electrical engineer, recently appointed the new director of the National Science Foundation. (CS)

The author describes an engineering and architecture course for junior high school students. It is a nonmathematical approach to understanding why buildings and bridges stand up and, basically, covers the same content as that of an architecture course he offers to Columbia University graduate students. (Author/KC)

Described is physical oceanography as analyzed by seven dependent variables, (three components of velocity, the pressure, density, temperature and salinity) as a function of three space variables and time. Topics discussed include the heat balance of the earth, current patterns in the ocean, heat transport, the air-sea interaction, and prospects…

Describes how to use patents as teaching tools in engineering courses. These documents can illustrate a field's historical and technological development as well as its current frontiers. (WB)

Presents the history, curricula, and faculty accomplishments of Notre Dame's chemical engineering program from its inception in 1909 to the present. (WB)

Summarizes the state of the art and speculates about future trends in chemical process control research and education in the United States. Most chemical engineering departments will continue to offer only basic courses, while the industry is likely to go its own way. (WB)

Discusses the present state of governmental support for basic scientific research and for technological advancement. Explores various sources of advice for the coordination and integration at the federal level in technological-social-economic-political interactions. (CS)

Presents an integral approach to the boundary value problem in waveguides deduced from the Kirchoff's integral formulation of the electromagnetic field. Also, the basis for the numerical solution of more general problems is given, including the example of the isosceles right triangular guide. (Author/SK)

Related are the results of the discussions at a meeting of the world's chemical society presidents in Washington, D.C. Members of the executive committee involved in formation of an international chemical society are listed. (SA)

Contains ten basic teaching principles formulated from the author's past experiences. Each of the principles is illustrated by relevant observations in order to increase understanding and aid application. The author states that use of these principles will increase teaching success. (SMB)

Discusses different existing definitions for the rate of reaction. Application to common reacting systems and to isothermal recycle reactors is also discussed. (HM)

Presents three problems that can be used in classroom to motivate chemical engineering students at the college level. (HM)

Starting salaries of chemistry personnel in industry, colleges, and universities are discussed. Data are presented from annual salary surveys done by the American Chemical Society's Office of Manpower Studies. (SA)

Renting of schools producing chemists and chemical engineers in 1978 shows little change from 1977 listings. (Author/BB)
