ACES Beyond Fifty: Creating a Future

As the golden anniversary milestone of ACES passes, this article addresses counselor education for the 1990s and beyond, something future leaders and members can reference.     

Counselor Education and the Psychology of More

Counselor educators have called for more and more training in a variety of areas. Taken individually, most of these areas are important and legitimate training domains. The implicit assumption, however, seems to be that academic programs represent an ever-expanding economy of time and resources.     

Autonomous optimal coordination scheme in protection system of power distribution network by using multi-agent concept

A protection system using a multi-agent concept for power distribution networks is pro- posed. Every digital over current relay(OCR) is developed as an agent by adding its own intelli- gence, self-tuning and communication ability. The main advantage of the multi-agent concept is that a group of agents work together to achieve a global goal which is beyond the ability of each individual agent. In order to cope with frequent changes in the network operation condition and faults, an OCR agent, proposed in this paper, is able to detect a fault or a change in the network and find its optimal parameters for protection in an autonomous manner considering information of the whole network obtained by communication between other agents.Through this kind of coordi- nation and information exchanges, not only a local but also a global protective scheme is com- pleted. Simulations in a simple distribution network show the effectiveness of the proposed protec- tion system.     

Global Financial and Economic Impact on Science,Engineering and Technology Development and Engineering Education in the 21st Century

The science academies of the world are mounting a global initiative on the solutions to problems of sustainability transition in the 21st century. With population and environment as over-arching themes, they have identified food, energy, health, consumption, water and education and information as the six most important issues. The author argues that education should really be an over-arching theme, citing the experience and lessons from the Asian economic crisis and the social, economic and behavioural issues involved in achieving sustainable consumption in the developed world and sustainable development in the developing world. The efforts of science, engineering and technology (SET) in helping the world to a sustainable future must be underpinned by equity, morality and higher human values. The author appeals for a new SET unity and a return to engineering unity with a humane face, and urges engineering educators and practitioners to devote time to community service and involvement and to focus on lifelong continuous engineering education and continuous professional development leading to global reach and mobility of the professional engineers.     

Meeting Needs but not Changing Goals: evaluation of in-service teacher training for sex education

Teachers' lack of sex education training has been widely regarded as a barrier to delivery, but very few in-service programmes have been evaluated. This paper evaluates the teacher training component of a theoretically-based behavioural sex education programme for 13–15-year-olds called SHARE. It combines data from participant observation, in-depth interviews, questionnaires and lesson observations. The teachers found the training very valuable, particularly in relation to collegiate support, familiarisation with the SHARE pack and reducing discomfort. The two main objectives of the training programme that were congruent with teachers' perceived needs were fulfilled: to make teachers more comfortable and confident to deliver sex education and to prepare them to deliver the SHARE pack. However, the introduction of social-psychologically informed skills based exercises, radically different to those normally followed, was the least successful aspect of the training, as one might predict from previous research on in-service training. This might suggest that theoretically based, behavioural health education programmes might be best delivered by specialist staff.     

高等教育质量保证趋势——香港的经验

近20年来,高等教育领域呈现出种种现实的矛盾与悖论。在复杂动荡的情景中,高等院校的教学功能得到了社会前所未有的重视。在过去近10年间,很多国家或地区在高等教育领域都建构了质量评估体系。本文主要分析香港高等教育质量保证过程,在分析其变革动因的同时亦反思在这一过程中可能存在的问题。
