A 90-minute computer-assisted instruction (CAI) unit course supplemented by a 1-hour lecture on the dynamic nature of three-dimensional rotations and Euler angles was given to 29 undergraduate engineering students. The area of Euler angles was selected because it is essential to problem-working in three-dimensional rotations of a rigid body, yet…

This Bulletin, published bimonthly, reports the current literature in the areas of science, engineering, technology, and public policy. The coverage encompasses both "policy for science" and "science for policy" matters. The Bulletin is intended for individuals engaged in studying, formulating, or implementing public policy…

Proceedings of a seminar on the present status of vision engineering and the possible effects on criteria for school planning. A discussion by Dr. H. Richard Blackwell on vision engineering is included. Topics of discussion include--(1) broad aspects of the effect of light upon sight, (2) lighting variables and task visibility, (3) lighting…

During the last 50 years, engineering education has reflected the strong influence of 2 trends: (1) an emphasis on unity of purpose and uniformity of standards and practices within the various branches, to provide the engineer with a basic technical knowledge that would enable him to practice in a variety of professions, and (2) a broadening of…

Socratic Non-Anacoluthic Programing (SNAP) is designed as a simple way of producing programed materials (under certain conditions) rather than as a method for producing more refined programs. SNAP programing might be regarded as taking the questions and answers from the end of each chapter of a textbook and interspersing them throughout the…

This collection and analysis of data on minorities in engineering emphasizes: minority engineering students by field, men; minority engineering students by field, women; minority engineering students by degree level; class standing of women and minority engineering students; high school background and standing of women and minority engineering…

This publication is the result of continuing close cooperation between two councils of the American Society for Engineering Education--the Engineering College Council (ECC) and the Engineering Research Council (ERC). Its purpose is twofold: to promote the cause of graduate study in engineering by setting forth admission requirements, faculty,…

A review of recent studies about the use of human resources data in system design tradeoffs suggests that it is necessary for military psychologists to enter into the decision process of the design problem. The design engineer may study many alternatives, each of which should be evaluated in terms of human resources data which describe what the…

Engineering has much to offer the field of education in bridging the gap between social sciences and teaching by utilizing scientific findings and experience to improve ongoing educational programs and to create new ones. Partial cause of failures at attempts for educational innovation can be found in the lack of appropriate design and…

Reported are results of a survey and a forecast of the number of science doctorates in the United States by the year 1980, of 350,000. The magnitude was determined through examination of the 1968 group, estimates of death and retirement attrition, projections of emigration and immigration patterns, and projections of doctorates produced between…

Television coverage of the 1972 Presidential Conventions was a complicated, time consuming, exhausting and yet challenging task for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Operating on limited funds and borrowed equipment, PBS had to literally throw together its operation in Miami Beach and still keep tabs on the candidates wandering around the…

This report provides a complete and up-to-date review of the abstracting and indexing services available in water resources engineering. Between 1955 and 1970 the number of services in this field increased from about 20 to 40. This exponential growth or doubling every 15 years suggests that by 1985 there will be 80 abstracting services in…

The first part of this report presents a comparative analysis of three studies of engineering manpower projections and a forecast of the number of engineering graduates required for Ontario to 1980. The projections are based on the extrapolation of past trends, but do not take account of major structural changes in the factors affecting the demand…

This document contains the responses of the Committee of Ontario Deans of Engineering, the Ontario Council on Graduate Studies, and the Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of Ontario to "Ring of Iron: A Study of Engineering Education in Ontario." The study, prepared by the Council of Ontario Universities, was to cover…

Authoritative reviews in seven areas of current importance in air pollution control are supplied in this volume, the first of a two-part set. Titles contained in this book are: "Dispersion of Pollutants Emitted into the Atmosphere,""The Formation and Control of Oxides of Nitrogen in Air Pollution,""The Control of Sulfur Emissions from Combustion…
