Twelve articles that are designed to provide ideas to engineering department heads are presented. Articles and authors are as follows: "Estimating Undergraduate Student Capacity for an Engineering Department," (T. W. F. Russell, R. L. Daughtery, A. F. Graziano); "Financial Evaluation of Education Programs," (George DePuy and Ralph Swalm); "The Department Head in Facsimile," (Paul E. Torgersen and Robert E. Taylor); "Resource Allocation for a College of Engineering," (M. R. Reddy, M. B. Pashazadeh and P. H. Randolph); "An Algorithm for Forecasting University Population," (R. A. Wysk and R. P. Sadowski); "Cost and Organization in Engineering Colleges," (P. G. Kirmser, L. E. Grosh, and R. G. Nevins); "How Do Academic Administrators Spend--and Think They Spend--Their Time?" (A. E. Magana and B. W. Neibel); "Administering Engineering and Technology Programs on the Same Campus," (Victor Richley); "Planning Factors Study for Technology Education (Including Faculty Salaries)," (R. Bruce Renda); "Methods of Faculty Evaluation and Development," (Otis E. Lancaster); "A Plan to Increase and Improve Scholarship," (Arnold Allentuch); and "Almost Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Electrical Energy Management," (Wayne L. Stebbins). Topics include the determination of faculty course capacity and the maximum undergraduate student spaces in a department; an annual cost comparison for five methods of instructional development; an academic department head game designed for orientation and training; a survey of the administrative structures of institutions offering baccalaureate programs in engineering technology; and a method of resource allocation for a college of engineering that recognizes the need for quality and diversity of faculty.
