The Role of the Technical Institute in the Next Decade

During the next ten years, technical institute education in the United States should be expanded ten times while other forms of higher education are doubled. Only in this way will we be able to get efficient utilization of our scientists and engineers. The many developments in science and technology that will take place in the next decade will call for a greatly expanded technical manpower team, and the largest potential source of 1957. supply is the manpower pool composed of individuals with aptitudes that qualify them to become engineering technicians. We can produce twice as many engineering technicians as engineers for the invested educational dollar, for the engineering technician is graduated in two years while the engineer needs four years. Through better acceptance of the engineering technician by industry and the engineering profession, this much needed expansion is bound to be realized.     

Make Your Own Engineers

Can ability and exceptional experience be accepted as substitutes for formal education in engineering? This article tells how one company developed a program of qualifications and examinations through which its more talented technicians can achieve full engineer status. The program gives the aspiring technician a continuing incentive for work towards an advanced status that is accepted without reservation by every degree engineer in the company.     

Technicians as an Aid to Engineers

The word "technician" embraces a broad spectrum of skilled workers. This paper is concerned with a few specialized groups who are defined in detail for further study. The examination includes their background and training, the organization for administration and supervision of their work, where they come from, and what their opportunities presently seem to be. The paper describes certain factors which determine how many technicians may be utilized effectively and the experienced trends of one organization. It concludes with a short discussion of the use of the title "engineer" and the problem of technician job stability.     

实验技术队伍现状分析与建议对策

实验技术队伍建设在实验教学、科学研究、人才培养和实验室管理中起着重要的作用,建设一支水平高又稳定的实验技术队伍是建设一流实验室的基础条件。该文针对高校实验技术队伍建设中普遍存在的师资力量短缺、实验技术队伍不稳定、考核不完善等问题进行具体分析,并以此为基础,从优化队伍结构、人员培训、考核、职称评定等方面提出了加强高校实验技术队伍建设的政策建议,以提高实验技术队伍的综合素质。

用历史解读CDIO及其应用前景

理论与实践的关系一直是工程教育争论的焦点,不同国家处理这一争论的方式有所不同。在美国,教育界在实践与理论之间如同钟摆不断寻找平衡;而欧洲,双元制的工程教育体系分别侧重于工程教育的理论和实践两个侧面。第二次世界大战以后,工程需以科学为基础的观念影响更深、更广,尤其是60年代后,工程教育甚至忽视了实践、经验等特性,使得"工程"与"科学"、"工程师"与"科学家"界限模糊,工程师在社会中的作用和地位受到质疑。自70年代始,"回到实践"的呼声强烈。本文认为,CDIO是对当前工程教育"理论"与"实践"问题的一种解决方式。CDIO只是应对目前工程教育困境的诸多解决方案中的一种。就CDIO本身而言,对于不同国家、不同层次、不同具体情况的学校可能会有积极的启发意义,但并不意味着它是唯一可借鉴的做法。     

高校实验技术人员招聘成功的关键因素

以分析高校实验专业技术人员的岗位要求为基础,力求探讨出招聘成功的关键因素。在规范的人力资源管理理论[1]的基础上,综合运用关键指标考核体系[2]、平衡计分卡[3]等管理理论,通过问卷设计与调查、面谈法、定量分析和个案实证研究等相结合的研究方法,以武汉大学ABSL-III实验室2012年招聘实验技术人员为案例,从而得出的结论为:高校实验技术人员招聘的基础性工作在于认真研究岗位职责,明确岗位要求;科学设计招聘流程和考核办法是招聘到合适实验技术人员的保障;拓宽招聘信息发布渠道是实现招聘的有效途径;贯彻以人为本、注重反馈和交流的招聘理念则是人才招聘工作可持续发展的根本。     

基于新工科的《大学物理》课程改革

《大学物理》作为高等学校理工科各专业共同的基础课,是培养工程技术人员和科技人才的重要基础。对此课程体系进行深入的分析和研究,改进教学模式,充分发挥其在培养学生科学素质、工程素养和科学思维方法方面的重要作用,以适应新时代、新挑战的需要。     

试论工程师伦理责任的生态转向

在当前工程哲学和环境伦理学的话语中,似乎都缺少对工程师在环境中伦理责任问题的关注。早期工程师把对雇主保持忠诚放在首位,但这种伦理观念在生态危机愈演愈烈的今天已变得过于狭隘。工程师的社会角色地位、循环经济的价值诉求、人类的可持续发展以及人与自然的和谐都呼唤工程师承担更多的环境伦理责任,这必然导致工程师传统伦理责任的生态转向。探讨这些问题对深化工程哲学、环境伦理学的研究以及落实我国的科学发展观具有重要的理论价值与现实意义。     

技师培养模式与课程开发研究

Continuing Engineering Education for Developing Countries: a challenge and an opportunity

All developing countries are committed to use science and technology for the uplift of the economic condition of their population. Although development is a complex multi-variable optimisation process, and application of science and technology is only one of the dominant variables, no sustained economic development is possible without a proper infrastructure of education and training of scientists, technicians and engineers. Building such an infrastructure is beset with numerous difficulties in many developing countries, e.g. unavailability of trained teachers, lack of financial resources for upgrading laboratories and workshops, and making the course curriculum relevant to the needs of the country. In the context of these difficulties, it is suggested that developing countries should take advantage of continuing education programmes to meet their development needs for trained manpower. Updating the competence of teachers of engineering and technology, improving the skills of technicians and engineers in the wake of improved or new technologies and preparing the young engineers and managers for the technologies of the future have been identified as the major CEE needs of developing countries. Rapid development in educational technology tools, e.g. audio/video material, media-packages, programmed learning, computer-assisted instruction has made it possible to cut down the cost of manpower training and also meet the shortage of fully-trained teachers. Brief details of the CEE programmes being run in India are given. International Cooperation in the exchange of learning material including computer software for instruction purposes has been identified as a method to accelerate the growth of CEE movement in developing countries. A few criteria have been specified to ensure that such exchange of material is useful.
