Cites numerous examples of gross errors concerning physical concepts and applications which have appeared in science texts. Cautions against the practice of obtaining information for new publications from previous works noting that this being the technique by which many inaccuracies are transferred. (CP)

Asserts that physics should be taught to stress the human aspects of laws of nature and scientific application of physical concepts. (CP)

Provides the syllabus for an advanced level (A-level) electronics course in which communication computer and feedback systems are analyzed. (CP)

Describes the operation of the National Electronics Council (NEC) Link Scheme for schools in Great Britain. The service is intended to provide technical assistance, information concerning surplus equipment, and guest speakers for school aspiring professional electronic counsel. (CP)

Advocates a strong emphasis on the teaching of the design of electronic circuits in undergraduate courses. An instructional paradigm involving the design and construction of a single-transistor amplifier is provided. (CP)

Explains a technique by which three dimensional displays of transistor characteristics can be demonstrated on a cathode ray tube. (CP)

Applies the narrow-band model to the instruction of intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors along with the phenomenon of compensation. Advocates the model for undergraduate instruction due to its intuitive appeal and mathematical simplicity. (CP)

Describes the adaption of a simple homogeneous analogue computer for the solution of the Schrodinger wave equations. Photographs of results are included. (CP)

Describes a cooperative research and construction project suitable for undergraduate physics students. Steps involved in the development of a device to demonstrate the distribution of molecular velocities in gases are detailed. (CP)

A self-paced reinforcement program for the instruction of introductory wave mechanics is provided. Based on the Keller plan, the aims of the program were to increase student achievement and improve attitudes and study methods of weaker students. An evaluation of the project is included. (CP)

Describes a variety of educational routes by students who do not follow the traditional English pattern (advanced level physics followed by a fulltime honors degree course at a university). (CP)

Examines the impacts of a modular course and degree structure upon students, teachers, as well as general effects upon the Bachelor of Science (BS) program. Explains how the program operates at a typical university and proposes future applications of the concept. (CP)

Cites the increasing need for physicists in medicine. Sketches the qualifications needed to pursue a Master of Science degree (MS) in medical physics fields and provides a brief discussion of Ph.D programs in the field. (CP)

Cites the rewards as well as the responsibilities of physics teaching in secondary schools. Pleads that more physics students train for the teaching profession, noting the scarcity and lack of training of many currently in the field. (CP)

Lists numerous career opportunities in the area of environmental physics and programs leading to degrees in the field. (CP)
