The intensity of the school must be enormously increased in light of other more potent factors determining what a child learns and becomes. In the current era…

In an effort to increase dissemination of scientific and technological information, a program was undertaken whereby graduate students in science and engineering could request a computer-produced bibliography and/or abstracts of documents identified by the computer. The principal resource was the National Aeronautics and Space Administration…

Several current technology programs are evaluated and, where appropriate, changes recommended. Jobs at both entry and subsequent promotion levels are described, and manpower needs surveyed. Ordinarily, it is only after discussion with prospective employers (industrial, clinical, medical) that curriculums are adopted and costs estimated for…

To identify present and emerging farm occupations and necessary competencies, personal interviews were conducted by teachers of agriculture with a random sample of 329 farm operators in 11 selected counties in Kentucky. Slightly more than 75 percent of the operators interviewed were owners living on a farm. Some population characteristics were:…

Developed and reviewed by a committee of 16 teachers, the state supervisory staff, and the teacher education staff, this curriculum guide is for vocational agriculture teacher use with ninth grade students interested in agricultural occupations. Some objectives for this 1-year course in animal science are--(1) to develop competencies in…

This paper describes a pilot program in institutional financing. It was designed to be used at a predominantly white Southwestern land grant university to increase the participation rate of black engineering students, but it may be used with slight modifications to increase the number of blacks and other minorities in other professions. In 1969…

Following a two-page summary of a project conducted to develop course outlines for the approved vocational agriculture courses taught in the State of Washington high schools, this document presents course outlines and lists of recommended instructional materials for the following courses: Production Agriculture (including Agriculture…

The report is concerned with research performance and results at the Savoy Aviation Research Lab. Research accomplishments are described according to eight tasks which are of two general types, those dealing with human resources research and those dealing with manned systems research. Specifically, four tasks deal primarily with pilot selection…

A collection of recent articles on microforms has been compiled to give students and practicing librarians a basic understanding of all aspects of micropublishing as it applies to libraries, with emphasis on library usage rather than microform technology, on the practical rather than the theoretical, on the present rather than the past.

This booklet, part of a set of self-guidance publications prepared by Catalyst, a national nonprofit organization, is written specifically for undergraduate women to help them bring their aspirations into focus, develop realistic career goals and plan for career options in fields which, at the managerial and professional levels, have been…

The Engineering Renewal and Growth (ERG) program at Colorado State University (CSU) was designed for continuing education of engineers. The program used videotapes and coordinated written materials to deliver instruction to the practicing engineer. Courses were leased to individual students or industries in which students worked. The courses were…

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology provides a catalog of 16mm filmed and videotaped lectures and demonstrations. Each listing includes title, short description, length of presentation, catalog number, purchase and rental prices, and indications as to whether the item is film or videotape and black-and-white or color. The catalog is divided…
