Describes a course planned for bio-medical engineering students. Intended outcomes of the course include an understanding of medical problems, their courses, diagnosis and treatment, and an awareness of the physician's philosophy and approach. (GS)

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)

Describes a combination of lectures, experiments, and analysis with the aid of remote computer terminals that helps the engineering student grasp the fundamentals and implications of a mathematical model applied to a particular job situation. (MLH)

Describes a senior level aerospace engineering course converted to the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) to counter problems presented by declining enrollment. (SL)

Describes an approach to teaching engineering design that involves analyzing, designing, building, and testing a simple structure. Explains the procedures for the various activities and discusses how the design concept can be incorporated into other courses. (ML)

Describes a graduate level course on the philosophy and techniques of teaching chemical engineering. Course topics include lecturing methods, test construction and grading, homework assignments, laboratory instructional methods, and methods of individual tutoring. All topics were approached using a variety of instructional strategies. (JN)

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

The aerospace engineering curriculum at the U.S. Naval Academy which includes an astronautical and an aeronautical track is described. The objective of the program is to give students the necessary astronautical engineering background to perform a preliminary spacecraft design during the last semester of the program. (KR)

Describes a non-credit tutorial course held for engineering students to improve their skill in problem solving. In the group sessions, each student writes his approach to a given problem on a transparency; the class then analyzes the various approaches while viewing them on overhead projectors. (MLH)

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)

Discusses the use of computers and computer-oriented instruction in the engineering programs at West Point, indicating that computers are treated as powerful tools used to enhance the learning process. A computer-aided design course and computer program categories are also described. (JN)

Discusses the importance of pre-college, developmental remedial programs for students who lack adequate skills for success in the engineering technology study. A description of remedial course work in algebra, geometry, basic English, reading skills, and physical science is included. (CC)
