A Feasibility Study Of Aircraft Mechanics Program And Flight Training At Spokane Community College, Kenneth Gaylord Brown

All Master's Theses

This paper was designed to study the flight-training program of the aviation department at Spokane Community College and its relationship to mechanics employability. Questionnaires were designed to sample the mechanic-employer relationship in regard to mechanics with flight experience to determine whether this experience was an advantage or detriment to the aircraft mechanic seeking employment.

Recommendations proposed were expansion of the existing flight program at Spokane Community College and the practicality of adoption of flight training by similar schools.

An Evolution In Education Individualization And Learning Activity Packets In Junior High Woodworking, Joseph Wysocki

Graduate Research Papers

The purposes of the study are:

(1) To show how education has evolved throughout American history; it has always taken the best of the past with it and amalgamated- it into its present; individualization has presently advantages which today's society needs to replace conventional programs.

(2) To explain the rationale for individualization.

(3) To give an explanation of the process of making learning activity packages.

(4) To provide learning packets for a course on machines in industrial education, namely lathe and band saw.

A Comparison Of Technologist Needs And Training Requirements Of The Major Industries Within The State Of Utah, Gene E. Forsberg

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The technologist needs and training requirements were determined from a selected cross-section of Utah industrial firms.

The larger industries were significantly more aware of the training requirements and capabilities of four-year technologists than were the smaller firms.

A significant difference was found regarding general and specialized training required by each firm. Thirteen of the 16 responding firms indicated specialized training as being most important.

The 10 areas of technical training rated most critical in their order of importance were: electronics, technical writing, electricity, English, mathematics (calculus and above), machine shop, manufacturing processes, physics, and metallurgy and design.

There was no …

The writers agreed that the basic problem of this study was to determine methods and procedures which are best suited and most valuable to the student pursuing the required work involved in the successful completion of the Projects course, Industrial Arts 33:270. It is hoped that these methods will prove to be of value to all research work in the Industrial Arts field. More specifically, the following questions should be kept in mind while reading this study:

1. What are the research methods and procedures used in the successful completion of the work required in Industrial Arts 33:270?

2. Of …

A Study Of The Flow Characteristics In The Core Region Of The Sandia Engineering Reactor, James A. Moeller

Chemical and Biological Engineering ETDs

The core region of a nuclear rector is an extremely compact area with a capability of providing a very high heat output. Regardless of the type of coolant used, the heat transfer characteristics of this region must be adequately designed to prevent any undesirable "hot-spots" from developing. The Sandia Engineering Reactor has one of the most compact cores of any in currently operating nuclear reactors. For this reason it is necessary to investigate fully the heat transfer characteristics of the core. The rate of heat transfer from the fuel elements to the coolant is directly dependent upon the temperature difference …

A Comprehensive Study Evaluating Driver Education In The Senior High Schools From Analyses Of Driving Records Of Salt Lake City High School Students, H. Keith Bushman

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Officials responsible for the control and administration of the traffic on the highways and streets of the nation are aware that good roads, markings, signals, and equipment are necessary. They also realize that the human element involved in the process of operating a vehicle is of the utmost importance. Highways can only be termed good to the extent of the actions of the drivers who use these roads.

Studies have been made throughout the nation in different states and cities to determine the results of formal training of drivers. The results of these studies answer many questions and also leave …

Survey Of Personnel Practices In Selected Industrial Organizations Of Utah, George R. Clawson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study deals with the factors which were responsible for the origin of personnel functions in a selected group of industrial organizations in the State of Utah. Although material is available concerning the factors which affected the establishment of personnel functions in the United States in general, there is little information regarding these factors in any one region. For this reason, an area study should be of value.

Growth And Development Of The Present Division Of Technology At Utah State Agricultural College, Lynn R. Willey

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This thesis traces the growth and development of the Division of Technology at the Utah State Agricultural College from 1890, when the first mechanic arts classes were taught as part of the offering in Mechanical Engineering, to the present, covering as thoroughly as possible from the source material available, the chain of events out of which the present expansive and complex program has evolved. The intention here is not merely to itemize the steps in this development, but wherever possible to investigate the influences involved; also, to give some attention to the industrial, education, and war-time needs that have created …

Industrial Arts In Utah--Its Introduction And Development, Charles W. Hailes

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For the past few years many questions have been asked about the growth and development of the industrial arts program in Utah. Many of these questions could not be answered by leading educators. Thus, it is hoped that with the information presented in this report enlightenment may be given to unanswered questions.

The roots of present-day concepts and practices of industrial arts in Utah extend back about fifty years to the first schools established by the Mormon pioneers. The first school, in its simple setting, faced such issues as: What kind of industrial arts training shall be provided? How much …

An Evaluation Of Necessary Elements For Desirable Industrial Arts Instruction In The Elementary Schools Of Utah, Lee W. Ralphs

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An essential part of the elementary school curriculum is the creative activity program connected with it. Educators believe that the fullest development of the child can best be attained through a program which provides a series of well selected experiences and activities. At present education considers the whole child--his abilities, needs, and interests--as vital factors in the development of a good curriculum, instead of merely the concrete and formal subject matter. Recently there has been an expressed view, by administrators of elementary school systems and many authorities and industrial arts teachers, that there is a definite need for formulating an …

A Guide To Be Used In Evaluating Audio-Visual Aids For Use In The Teaching Of Industrial Arts In The Junior High Schools Of Utah, Dan H. Swenson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

To find the beginning of the use of audio-visual aids in the teaching of industrial arts is difficult, if not impossible. The very nature of the work makes the use of audio-visual teaching methods absolutely indispensable. Long before the term "audio-visual aids" had been coined and before any attention had been given to the teaching method, as such, teachers of industrial arts were making use of the demonstration, the model, the exhibit, and many other teaching devices since included in the scope of the meaning of audio-visual teaching aids.

It would be hard indeed to imagine how a teacher could …
