This catalog of uncommon facilities in southern universities was developed in an effort to bring about more effective use of existing facilities, to reduce the need for duplicating certain facilities, and to increase learning and research opportunities. All of the facilities listed are available, under certain conditions, for use by students and…

The guide is one of a series developed in a pilot project to integrate career education concepts with subject matter in secondary grades. The units are designed to reveal career orientation aspects of traditional topics within five major subject areas: English, social studies, mathematics, science, and health and physical education. The lesson…

The text of an invited address on artificial intelligence (AI) research over the 1963-1968 period is presented. A survey of recent studies on the computer simulation of intellective processes emphasizes developments in heuristic programing, problem-solving and closely related learning models. Progress and problems in these areas are indicated by…

A brief description of the English program for students of engineering, architecture, and industrial management at Lawrence Institute of Technology includes fairly detailed information on the unique features of the 3-term freshman English course. Less extensive reference to the details of the sophomore, junior, and senior courses precedes a short…

Beginning with bibliographies, surveys, and other general works, this 225-item annotated bibliography on professional continuing education covers the following areas: engineering and technical education; chemistry and clinical psychology; medicine and health (including psychiatry); inservice education and retraining for lawyers, law enforcement…

This article describes a typical audio-active-record student control panel and operational requirements, which, due to inefficiently designed controls, may have a negative influence on student attitudes and performance. A model panel, developed at the University of Hawaii, incorporating student needs illustrates improvements in technical design.…

A computer-assisted instruction (CAI) project undertaken in 1965 sought to: 1) teach college instructors to prepare quality CAI curricula; 2) ascertain student attitudes toward CAI; 3) compare CAI with the lecture method; and 4) demonstrate prototypical CAI courses. Teachers were successfully trained in the use of Coursewriter and prepared courses…

Full texts of ten commissioned papers are presented, along with discussants' remarks and an analytical review by the editors. The symposium was held to explore the potentials and implications of using advanced communications and technological systems to improve educational productivity. Major foci included: 1) the use of management models to…

An experimental study sought to determine if simulation-type games could teach a given body of material as effectively as the traditional lecture method. Graduate students in a Human Ecology course were divided into experimental and control groups; the former played the Community Land Use Game (CLUG), the latter attended lectures. Posttests…

To provide teachers of vocational agriculture, agricultural supervisors, and agricultural teacher educators with information on current curriculum materials available to them, this annotated bibliography presents 207 references classified according to the AGDEX filing system.

Part of a four-volume study on highway safety activities, this report describes the need for breath examiners, accident investigators, emergency medical technicians, and highway engineering personnel. Training needs are discussed, in the context of curriculum, staffing, student recruitment, facilities, equipment, enrollment, and national…

This report presents two proposed facility designs for the only regional community college in Maryland as well as the program objectives and the nature of the planned 2-year program. Recognizing the need for paraprofessional education at the junior college level, Chesapeake College proposes to embark on a major marine technicians training program.…

Members of the Curriculum Materials Committee collect materials available to them prior to each American Vocational Association Meeting. The resulting bibliography contains current, non-commercial materials developed by persons in vocational education in agriculture for use in that field, but of interest beyond the state in which it was developed.…

The 83 papers presented at the 1972 Conference on Computers in Undergraduate Curricula are reproduced in this volume. With computer science specifically excluded as an area of interest for the conference, papers fall under the following headings: biology, business, chemistry, economics, education, engineering, geography, languages and art,…
