Bennett, Charles H.; Landauer, Rolf – Scientific American, 1985
Examines what constraints govern the physical process of computation, considering such areas as whether a minimum amount of energy is required per logic step. Indicates that although there seems to be no minimum, answers to other questions are unresolved. Examples used include DNA/RNA, a Brownian clockwork turning machine, and others. (JN)

McCurdy, Lyle B. – Engineering Education, 1986
Investigated were 74 programs in electronic engineering technology programs by program type: (1) 2+2 (associates and bachelors--same institution); (2) C4 (bachelors only); (3) 3+1 (three-year associates plus one for bachelors); and (4) +2 (bachelors after associates elsewhere). Describes subject requirements by group, focusing on mathematics.…

Presented are highlights from the Survey of Earned Doctorates, focusing on: trends in doctorate production by field, sex, and citizenship; employment of science and engineering (S/E) doctorates; and science and mathematics education doctorates. Approximately 95 percent of the 1982 recipients of the Ph.D. and similar doctorates responded to a…

Bennett, Randy Elliot; Whittington, Beverly R. – 1986
The increasing use of microcomputers and hand-held calculators has implications for mathematics and science instruction, achievement testing, and educational research. The potential effects of these technologies on curricula involve both content and delivery. In mathematics instruction, the focus may shift from manipulative to higher order skills.…
