Experiments are designed with application to phenomena of the real world for use in a third-quarter introductory college physics course in wave motion, sound, and light. The computer is used to process and analyze experimental data and to extend experimental observations through simulation. (Author/TS)

Describes the development of new engineering course offerings for non-engineering students. Six topics are considered of current importance and probable interest to non-technical students: technology, transportation, information, energy, environment, and urban problems. (TS)

Describes a study of the factors which induce pre-engineering students to work below their potential in liberal arts courses. The evidence seems to indicate that different curricular areas do attract people with different personalities and from different socio-eocnomic backgrounds. (TS)

The objectives and methods of a free undergraduate laboratory are set forth. The main features are a close connection between the students and the research groups, a large amount of student freedom and responsibility, and no grading of the students. (Author/TS)

A game simulating an Einstein model of a crystal producing a Boltzmann distribution. Computer-made films present the results with large distributions showing heat flow and some applications to entropy. (TS)

Describes the procedures followed in establishing an audio-tutorial biology program in a community college. Reports student responses to opinion questions on aspects of the instructional method. (AL)

The time between asking a question and accepting an answer or proceeding with the lesson is reported for five lessons for four instructors. There was little change during four weeks of instructor-supervisor conferences intended to alter questioning techniques. (AL)
