Abstract

In this Issue: Ingenuity in the Classroom /2 (As the engineer finds himself faced with shifting priorities and the need for broader insights into his daily responsibilities, so too do the educators. At Cornell ingenuity in meeting these challenges takes various forms -- new teaching "hardware," new strategies and course formats, revitalization of traditional courses, greater curriculum flexibility, and, most notably, new attitudes about the functions of education. Here we report on some interesting departures from classroom norms.) ... MINI COURSES (Professors Doing Their Own Thing) /5 ... SOCIAL AWARENESS (A New Priority for Engineers) /10 ... TEACHING ATTITUDES (Thermodynamics with Meaning) /l5 ... NEW TEACHING TOOLS (Technology Enters the Classroom) /20 ... BROADENING THE PERSPECTIVES (Law and Environmental Control) /25 ... Register /28 (Jack E. Oliver, newly appointed Irving Porter Church Professor of Engineering and chairman of a new intercollege Department of Geological Sciences, is featured in the Register. Other sketches are of faculty members who have been appointed to new positionswithin the College of Engineering.) ... Faculty Publications /33
