Describes a computerized learning system capable of handling a wide variety of subject matter at different grade levels in a real time interactive mode. (MLH)

Discusses a statistical report on chemical and chemical engineering higher education; the findings indicate an increase in 1975 B.S. and Ph.D. graduates in chemistry, a decrease in these degrees in chemical engineering, and an increase in female graduates in both fields. (MLH)

Discusses legal aspects of affirmative action plans, and gives examples of inadvertant employment discrimination, especially in relation to engineering education administrators. (MLH)

A humanistic approach to teaching fluid mechanics is described which minimizes lecturing, increases professor-student interaction, uses group and individual problem solving sessions, and allows for student response. (BB)

Attitudinal measures of training and control group engineering students showed positive and significant gains for the treatment group both in attitude toward the effectiveness of on-line searches and for the number of citations yielded. Cost-effectiveness was greater for on-line searches than for manual searches. (Author/IRT)

Reviews the Women in Science and Technology Equal Opportunity Act, which is designed to promote the full use of human resources in science and technology through a comprehensive program to maximize the potential contribution and advancement of women in scientific, professional, and technical careers. (Author/MA)

Presents a literature review of the impact of impingement in fishery resources at different power plants in the United States, covering publications of 1976-77. Consideration is given to engineering studies and biological effects for reducing impingement. A list of 96 references is also presented. (HM)

Compares the content of some undergraduate and graduate courses in chemical kinetics and chemical reactor engineering. (BB)

This course is based on the premise that a sound base in the mechanics and electrokinetics of the dispersed phase is essential for an understanding of the macroscopically apparent behavior of such disperse systems. (Author/BB)

The opinion is presented that chemical engineering education seems to emphasize the professor's research and/or professional interests with little regard for the real needs of the student who intends to become a practicing engineer. (BB)

Principles, experimental procedures, results, and discussion of this method are included here. The method was used in undergraduate laboratory courses in Toulouse, France. (BB)

Describes one approach to supplying engineering and computer science educators with an economical portable digital systems laboratory centered around microprocessors. Expansion of the microcomputer based laboratory concept to include Learning Resource Aided Instruction (LRAI) systems is explored. (Author)

Surveys of schools with approved programs in chemistry and chemical engineering revealed that the number of students receiving baccalaureate degrees rose only three percent; Masters degrees showed little change; and PhD degrees declined four percent. A listing of chemical and chemical engineering degrees awarded by surveyed schools is included.…

The aim of this program is to integrate a broad spectrum of disciplines and apply the integrated whole to the solution of the problems of the pulp and paper industry. (BB)

An editorial on the ranking of college chemical engineering departments in terms of productivity indices. (BB)
