Engineering 45 at the University of California at Berkeley is a basic materials course and prerequisite to the specialized courses taken in the 3rd or 4th year of the engineering curriculum. The course objectives are to provide students with an understanding of the relationship between the internal structures and the properties of engineering…

There is a great deal of uncertainty about the graduate education of scientists and engineers. Students are worried about employment opportunities, institutions worry about the quality and quantity of their future graduate programs, and the government worries about an adequate supply of trained manpower for the future. Added to these worries are…

A comprehensive engineering approach to the analysis of libraries as information service systems is described in which operations research type models are developed and tested for optimizing the design and management of document storage and retrieval processes. Extension of this approach to the development of more comprehensive system models is…

Reported are the results of a pilot study which attempted to determine general patterns of common course content for scientists and engineers, and what specific course content would be of most value to them. Questionnaires were mailed to biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers in nine states. Over two hundred of these respondents were…

There is widespread dissatisfaction with the engineering student's education in the humanities and social sciences. This study, conceived as both a fact-finding and policy-formulating project, aimed to: establish goals in social science and engineering study which are relevant to the changing social role of the engineer; examine the resources and…

A variety of screen education courses were designed, implemented, and evaluated in a public school system. Specific objectives of the courses were to teach screen education together with English skills and subject matter, to teach film production to interested students, to teach about media operation and performance, and to demonstrate that media…

This issue of the newsletter of the American Association for the Advancement of Science is devoted to information about employment opportunities for natural scientists and engineers in the '70s. Problems of supply and demand are considered, with graduate enrollment in natural science fields being considered as an important indicator of the future…

In a program undertaken by Union Carbide to encourage black students to enter science and engineering studies, five black universities recruited high school graduates. The universities were: Howard Univ., North Carolina A and T State Univ., Southern Univ., Tennessee State Univ., and Tuskegee Institute. Union Carbide provided summer employment for…

This document describes innovative programs in education for various professions including law, health services, social work, teaching, agriculture-related professions, architecture, business, and engineering. Programs of health services are further divided into those for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and dentists. Information is…

This document presents a report of the Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education (CACHE) Committee concerned with references to previously measured physical properties. A partial list of data that are of use to the chemical engineer is assembled in three tables. References are listed by title, author, publisher, and date. Following each…

The Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering Education (CACHE) guidelines identify desirable features of large-scale computer programs including running cost and running-time limit. Also discussed are programming standards, documentation, program installation, system requirements, program testing, and program distribution. Lists of types of…

Presented are national statistics on the 1960-62 employment conditions of America's scientific and engineering manpower in relation to economic and social characteristics. The eight-page questionnaire used in the 1962 postcensal survey is concerned with the collection of data from individuals classified as scientists and engineers in the 1960…
