Discusses a course in the literature of technology, team-taught by the English and engineering departments, which emphasizes the "two-culture" phenomenon (science vs. the arts). (MLH)

A course relating to energy and the environment and aimed specifically at engineering students is outlined. Course objectives, format, and content are specified; required problem sets, papers, and exams are briefly discussed. (DT)

Describes the structure and content of the laboratory course sequence of the Engineering College of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The multidisciplinary laboratory sequence is a core requisite take n in the junior year, and instructs students in experimental methodology, including measurement and instrumentation theory. (JR)

Outlines one approach to the teaching of materials engineering design within the context of metallurgical engineering. This approach uses a problem solving situation and criteria for an appropriate problem are presented. (GS)

Discusses the use of team study and seminar courses with ease studies to teach the technical processes, economics, and social effects of material recycling. (MLH)

Suggests offering of law school courses to engineering majors, making it possible for them to deal with interfaces between the two professions. (CC)

Outlines the differences of opinion on the nature and scope of systems engineering and offers one operational definition. Describes the systems engineering curriculum at the Naval Academy, gives the objectives of an introductory systems course, and presents laboratory computer applications. (GS)

Describes a course designed to demonstrate the relationship between design, manufacturing technology, and materials engineering. The course uses a lecture-discussion and laboratory-workshop approach including an analysis of engineering case histories and several service failures. (GS)

Suggests a series of courses focusing on interfaces between the arts or humanities or social sciences on one hand and science or technology on the other. Indicates that science fiction is a cultural bridge characterized by speculation of the unknown from a foundation of the known. (CC)

Describes a multidisciplinary course in the sciences, humanities, and engineering that teaches the use of evidence in problem-solving. The guided design teaching method is used, in which the instructor circulates among small discussion groups to advise them on problem-solving. (MLH)

Describes three metallurgical engineering courses taught by both an English instructor and an engineering instructor, and in which students earn both English and engineering credit. Required reports and case histories are used to teach English as an integral part of the course. Includes suggestions for improving technical writing. (MLH)

Describes eight experimental courses in a series called the Man Series, instituted at Purdue University to improve the social dimensions of engineering education. Each course is team taught by engineering, humanities, and social science faculty members and is interdisciplinary in nature. (MLH)

Discusses the objectives, content, and activities of the course Interactions of Environmental Engineering and Society'' conducted by the Engineering School of the University of Louisville for elementary and secondary science teachers. Indicates satisfactory results from students' and related administrators' responses. (CC)
