The Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education finds itself confronted with problems of great difficulty in recommending a reorganization of the mathematical studies of the secondary school. Antecedent to new courses, there should be an agreement among psychologists and educators such as has not yet been reached. It seems, therefore,…

Discusses the use of a set of experiments to provide undergraduate electrical engineering students with a knowledge of the state of the art in modern coherent optics from an engineering standpoint. (CC)

Describes current engineering curricula as limited to a small part of the pedagogic continuum of learning. Indicates that there should be sufficient flexibility of method and variety of material in engineering education to yield its maximum value to the world in these times. (CC)

Discusses the possible reason for engineering students' lack of interest in the humanities, the importance of humanistic and social science courses in the engineering profession, and a proposed solution to such issues. (CC)

Discusses the importance of knowing the psychological environment of individuals in order to plan effective social change. (SB)

Discusses the importance of pre-college, developmental remedial programs for students who lack adequate skills for success in the engineering technology study. A description of remedial course work in algebra, geometry, basic English, reading skills, and physical science is included. (CC)

A young, St. Louis, Missouri, architectural firm, seeking a personal style of practice, has succeeded in creating structures that reveal client input, and which are sensitive, articulate, and at ease with complexity. Describes an elementary school, a condominium, a shopping mall, a high school, and a "community mall." Illustrated with photographs…

Describes current trends in the engineering profession as a result of the engineering-science-technology coupling. Indicates that the engineering community must once again take into account the interaction of technology and social and physical environment in order to serve satisfactorily our society in the future. (CC)

Suggests a series of courses focusing on interfaces between the arts or humanities or social sciences on one hand and science or technology on the other. Indicates that science fiction is a cultural bridge characterized by speculation of the unknown from a foundation of the known. (CC)

Discusses engineering as a career, emphasizing the need for large numbers of minority students--especially at the junior high and high school levels--to take advantage of the opportunity provided them by the need for engineers. (JM)

Describes recognization of student achievement as a function of technical colleges, and suggests three feasible methods: publishing the dean's list,'' citing those who graduate with honor,'' and identifying outstanding students through membership in an honor society, such as Tau Alpha Pi in engineering.
