Reviews issues related to faculty shortages in engineering, suggesting that full cooperation from the engineering profession, academia, industry, and government is necessary to make any solution work. Discusses possible solutions and describes current university/industry relationships. (SK)

Proposes that practicing engineers become involved in academic areas, from financing and curriculum development to committed activity, student and thesis advising, and teaching. Makes recommendations for industry, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, and the American Association of Engineering Societies. (SK)

Describes the launching of the Council for Chemical Research, a nonprofit organization with the major goal of boosting industry's financial support for academic research in chemistry and chemical engineering. Includes the results of a survey of industry support for university research. (DS)

Describes techniques being used in the production of microelectronics kits which have replaced traditional optical lithography, including contact and optical projection printing, and X-ray and electron beam lithography. Also includes limitations of each technique described. (SK)

Discusses the development of recent analytical techniques that can give detailed information on thin-film structures. (HM)

Outlined is a concept for bringing the chemical industry and the universities together in chemical research. Objectives listed are to promote mutual understanding and cooperation between academe and the chemical industry, to work toward improving the national climate for creativity and innovation, and to promote education and funding in chemical…

Presents several examples illustrating different aspects of materials problems, including problems associated with solid-solid reactions, sintering and crystal growth, characterization of materials, preparation and characterization of stoichiometric ferrites and chromites, copper-sulfur systems, growth of single crystals by chemical vapor…

Describes recent programs of joint research between university and industry prompted by a growing shortage of Federal funds for research. Interacting mechanisms, funding, and federal programs are discussed. Examples of industry-university efforts with no Federal funding are then provided. (CS)

Discusses the present state of governmental support for basic scientific research and for technological advancement. Explores various sources of advice for the coordination and integration at the federal level in technological-social-economic-political interactions. (CS)

Presents an historical review of the role of petroleum in world history and information on the chemistry of petroleum. It is suggested that petroleum chemistry be discussed since within the next two decades oil and gas will provide the major portion of U.S. energy. (Author/SA)

The executive director of the Association of Science and Technology Centers presents his response to criticism of industry-sponsored exhibits in science centers. He emphasizes the role of the classroom teacher in effectively using museums as learning resources where public controversy exists. (Author/SA)

Discussed are research procedures undertaken to determine the magnitude and timing of eustatic sea-level changes during the Tertiary Period. Data now becoming available give scientists a knowledge of conditions that may have been conducive to the formation of petroleum. (BT)

This article aims to provide potential authors with some simple guidelines for the presentation of manuscripts for publication in the United Kingdom. An outline of how an educational publisher works and how authors fit into the overall picture are also included. (HM)

Introduces a project involving industry and school cooperation to increase students' Experimental and Investigative (Sc1) skills such as observation, measuring, reasoning, and planning investigations. (YDS)

Teachers are largely responsible for bringing the substance and spirit of science to each new generation. When appropriately linked with and supported by university and industrial scientists, teachers will better represent the culture of science and technology and respond to society's ever-changing needs. Includes five references. (MLH)
