This study applies the methodology of systems dynamics to analyze engineering and engineering technology education systems. A preliminary system analysis is presented relating primary variables and their interaction in the overall system through a series of feedback loops. This is followed by a system structure development and mathematical…

A one day course was developed to train and inform working scientists and engineers in the most direct and efficient means of seeking and acquiring scientific and technical information related to their day-to-day professional activities. The course was given three times to groups of forty Federally-employed scientists and engineers in the middle…

In the Skylab student project, high school students submitted proposals for experiments that could be performed on board Skylab by the astronauts. This book describes the experiments designed by the students and reports what happened to those experiments in the space laboratory. The student experiments included studies of the central nervous…

An approach to the problem of providing social awareness experiences to undergraduate engineering students is provided in this paper. Specifically, this report lists some of the developments surrounding the inception of a social fraternities and sororities program at the University of Missouri-Rolla and events leading to these organizations doing…

Described are four demonstration/participation laboratories in which students analytically and experimentally evaluated various catheter-transducer blood pressure measurement systems. The activities were included in a graduate level course entitled "Theory and Techniques of Bioinstrumentation," taught by the Department of Electrical Engineering…

There is no aerospace industry in Turkey, and the level of operational activity is low even though the potential for the exploitation of aviation is high. The government of Turkey hopes to establish an aircraft factory in conjunction with a foreign contractor and is aware of the need for aerospace engineering education. This paper describes the…

Twenty-two field-tested instructional units were developed for use in adult and young farmer education by 20 specially trained agriculture teachers in Ohio. The resource units were developed in the following agriculture areas of instruction: corn and soybean production, agriculture mechanics, swine production, farm management, and horticulture.…
