Outlines significant influence of Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in supporting the engineering education community. (IR)

The 2-year curriculum in environmental engineering at Fayetteville Technical Institute, one of the first in the United States, is being used as a model by other schools developing similar programs. (JO)

Descriptions, schematics, and photographs are provided to illustrate techniques using circular prestressing, fiberglass reinforced plastic forms, and thin circular concrete plates. (MF)

Provides pointers for the new engineering manager on building self-confidence and establishing positive employer/employee relationships. Includes distinctive traits managers should have, ways to ease frustrations (such as giving a challenging first assignment and recognizing good work), a plan to achieve managerial goals, and relationships with…

Estimates of undiscovered oil resources are developed in two general ways: historical-trend analysis and geological analogy. Each of these methods is discussed. Indicates that only well-defined and repeatable methods project a rather bleak future for United States oil discovery. (JN)

To eliminate the public's fear of recombinant genetics the important link between science and the humanities should be part of the educational system. Universal applied genetics guidelines are needed that encompass philosophical and technical issues. Biological advances can revitalize humankind in the future. (AM)

Presented is a program written for an HP-25 programmable calculator. It will aid in the effective impedance of a series-parallel network containing both reactive and resistive elements. (MNS)

Discusses the process design sequence at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, including course content, student assignments, textbooks used, and student projects. Author (now in industry) indicates that he sees the sequence differently than when he taught it. (JN)

The continuing education program at Texas A&M offers short courses and seminars for engineers interested in updating their education. (BB)

Presents background information concerning microwave properties useful to persons considering the suitability of various materials to microwave processing. (CS)

Reviews and evaluates the past three attempts at organizing NSF's applied research programs, the Research Applied to National Needs (RANN) in 1977, the Applied Science and Research Applications in 1978, and the Engineering and Applied Science Directorate in 1979. Discusses the National Technology Foundation now being proposed. (CS)

The full master's degree program in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Massachusetts is available to students at off-campus industrial sites through videotape, bringing continuing education to practicing engineers who otherwise would have few opportunities for advanced learning.
