The Use Of An Industrial By-Product As A Soil Amendment And Its Effects On Soil Physical/Chemical Characteristics And Nutrient Retention, Dawn R. Hawkins
The Use Of An Industrial By-Product As A Soil Amendment And Its Effects On Soil Physical/Chemical Characteristics And Nutrient Retention, Dawn R. Hawkins
Culminating Projects in Environmental and Technological Studies
Soil physical/chemical characteristics are important in regards to the productivity of the soil. These characteristics can determine the rate at which water drains through soil, how much water is available to plants for uptake, and the speed at which organic matter breaks down within the soil. These attributes also play an important role in cation exchange capacity, pH buffering capacity, and nutrient availability; all important factors in plant/crop growth and protecting environmental quality. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effects of mixing an industrial by-product on soil physical/chemical characteristics and soil nutrient retention, and to determine the …

A Delphi Study To Evaluate The Ability Of Technology Education To Promote Technological Literacy, Kurt R. Helgeson
Culminating Projects in Environmental and Technological Studies
This study was to develop a technology education course curriculum that would promote technological literacy. The curriculum, based on the Minnesota Plan for Industrial Technology Education (1984), was evaluated through the use of a Delphi study.
A review of the literature was conducted to identify the changing needs of society, new educational needs of society and identification of concepts of technological literacy. In addition, disciplines addressing technological literacy, methods of curriculum evaluation and expert with regard to technology education were identified through the literature review.
The curriculum evaluation was accomplished through a two round Delphi Study involving a panel of …
A Study Of Leadership In Organizations And Higher Education, Sara A. Grachek
A Study Of Leadership In Organizations And Higher Education, Sara A. Grachek
Culminating Projects in Information Media
PROBLEM:
Many members of business organizations rely on an abundance of materials to learn about leadership education or training. Relying solely on these materials can be costly, and are probably only semi-related to leadership education or training. An alternative, often less costly, and with some semblance of relatedness, might be higher education. The purpose of this study is to examine whether four-year colleges and universities can provide the type of leadership education or training currently being sought by business organizations.
PROCEDURE:
Business organizations were surveyed as to whether they felt leadership education at the college and university level would be …
Police Emergency Driving Instruction Program Evaluation, John W. Palmer
Police Emergency Driving Instruction Program Evaluation, John W. Palmer
Culminating Projects in Teacher Development
This study attempts to answer the basic question, "Does practice and instruction in simulated emergency situations lead to improvement in the driving performance of the treated subjects, as related to accident reduction?"
As a group of drivers, police officers receive little or no special preparation in driving skills. With preparation minimal, it would follow that polic officers who are confronted with emergency situations will often respond incorrectly and collisions will be the result. Training can, therefore, eliminate many accidents.
The study at St. Cloud State University was limited to comparisons between two groups of Minnesota Police Officders. The experimental group …
