Evaluates the individually prescribed instruction of a control engineering course on the basis of student responses and achievement data. Concludes that this approach is preferable to the classroom lecture, with video tapes described as an effective and useful aid. (CC)

Discusses the characteristics of the course Introduction to Engineering'' taught at Berkeley High School each spring semester since 1967. Indicates that engineer participation in class as resource people is beneficial to the delivery of technical materials. (CC)

Discusses the conduct of a supplemental services program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with emphases upon academic help in areas identified as major problems. Indicates that the understanding gained from this operation is helpful to evolve educational programs and admissions practices. (CC)

Surveyed are 53 techniques for measuring human physical characteristics and emotional responses in the belief that problems should be solved on the basis of what is good for people.'' (BL)

Discusses the reduction of the one- and three-dimensional diffusion equation to the difference equation and its stability, convergence, and heat-flow applications under different boundary conditions. Indicates the usefulness of this presentation for beginning students of physics and engineering as well as college teachers. (CC)

Short descriptions of NSF support for the State University of New York computer network, one year trial of educational materials from the United Kingdom's Open University, A Dartmouth course on control of life, Stanford action on a course on dysgenics, and a bioengineering program at Texas A&M. (TS)

Describes a study comparing a combined system of lectures and problem sessions with a recitation class in engineering mechanics. No major differences were found in performance of students in either method. A significant difference in achievement was found with class size. The smaller the group the better the student performance." (Author/TS)

Second of two related articles in this issue. Discusses need for reexamination of curricula and requirements, realistic counseling for more engineering student persistence to prevent personnel shortage in field. (CJ)
