Discusses the purpose and curriculum of interdisciplinary engineering management programs conducted at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Indicates that the development of a proper balance of engineering, science, and management is proved satisfactory by student acceptance, graduate placement, and feedback from both graduates and employers. (CC)

Discusses the conduct of a master degree industrial management program at the Polytechnic Institute of New York for students with undergraduate training in engineering and science. Indicates that the program is characterized by unique options developed on the basis of students' strengths and proved satisfactory in fostering actual upward mobility.…

Discusses the graduate engineering management program of Drexel University, including student characteristics, program objectives, academic requirements, and course options. Indicates that the program serves the demand for management talent by providing students with skills different from those of conventional programs. (CC)

Discusses experience of using multiple media, instead of instructional television, to teach satisfactorily off-campus electrical engineering courses at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Further applications to non-engineering graduate and undergraduate courses, extension activities and short courses are recommended. (CC)

Suggestions to students and novice engineering technicians on how to progress along career paths include: questioning recruiters, entering a new job with an exploratory attitude, and seeking responsibilities. Regularly discuss your career with supervisors and counselors and so avoid dead ends by lateral moves, company training, and continuing…

Discusses a Sloan Foundation undergraduate project conducted at the University of California at Santa Clara, with emphases upon interdisciplinary design. Indicates that engineering should be seen as a broad education for a technology dependent society, rather than education leading to a specialized, dead-end career. (CC)

Discusses a creative engineering systems design program developed at the Clarkson College of Technology with the support of the Sloan Foundation. Indicates that the program leads to greater undergraduate use of computational facilities and more faculty research toward design applications. (CC)

Discusses the use of the city of Detroit as a design laboratory to operate Sloan Foundation programs in engineering education. Concludes that the student managed program provides valid and valuable educational experience by finding solutions to real world problems. (CC)

Discusses the study of design problems by interdisciplinary student-faculty groups under the sponsorship of the Sloan Foundation and in cooperation with industry, government, and community organizations. Included is a list of design projects. (CC)

Tasks selected as being representative in three government offices are studies to determine the illumination required to provide maximum practical speed and accuracy. (Author/MF)

Describes the development of a model curriculum for a joint five-year program in engineering and social work at Washington University. (CC)

Describes an interdisciplinary research project on production of food or fodder yeast from sewage. Indicates the presence of satisfactory educational and experimental results in operation of a pilot plant. (CC)

Describes external studies as undergraduate or graduate programs characterized by highly unconventional paths. Indicates the necessity of developing new definitions and models for this nontraditional medium to evolve a clear concept in engineering education. (CC)

Discusses the five characteristics which distinguish this upper division college from the majority of higher education institutions in America. Indicates the presence of a positive response based on increasing enrollment from 520 in January, 1973, to a possible 1,200 by June, 1973. (CC)
