  • Accreditation - The purpose of this tape is to provide some information about the accreditation of engineering programs in the United States. This tape provides history and background on the accreditation process, tells a little about the organizational structure of the Engineers' Council for Professional Development, talk about the accreditation cycle, and talk about your obligation as an IEEE visitor to the profession and the IEEE. Talk by Robert M. Saunders.
  • Career Planning - Larry Dwon presenting to college students on career planning, May 1st, 1979
  • Panel Discussion on Employer-Employee Relations - A panel on employer/employee relations, from the perspectives of industry, government, and academia, featuring Jim Mulligan, exec. secretary, NAE, Eric Ward, Federal Council of Science and Technology, Harold J. Ammond, exec. sec, Association of Scientists and Professional Engineering Personnell, Don Chanel, dir. Washington office of American BAR Association and Trevor Clark, manager, Information Systems of Aerospace and Electronic Systems div., Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Recorded November 16th, 1970
  • Management Principles for Engineers - The word management is not easily defined. To one person it means the act or manner of managing, handling, directing or controlling. To another person management means a skill in management or a kind if in born executive ability. To a third person management concerns a person or persons managing an institution or business. Getting people to carry out objectives, whether they be your objectives or the objectives of the company you work for, can be programmed, more or less. Getting things done through people is a good, quick summary of what management is all about. This tape, produced in 1970, contains a number of strategies and principles for managers to act the most efficiently in the engineering setting.
