The Building Blocks: Software Engineering

Article Abstract:

Software tools are necessary for programming productivity and quality to match that of hardware improvements, but are not being used by engineers in the United States. One improvement in software design would be in rapid prototyping of systems. High- level languages could check the requirements of a program quickly by implementing a basic version of the final product. Reusable software would also cut down on the development process. Automated design tools would include a non-prodecural specifications language, an intelligent software-based management system for reusable software, and an intelligent editor.

Shortages in Some Engineering and Computer Fields Predicted

Article Abstract:

Shortages of electrical electronic, industrial engineers and a ten percent shortfall of aeronautical, astronautical, and computer engineers are possible through 1987 according to the National Science Foundation. They based their predictions on four scenarios of economic activity and defense spending. The demands of industry and technological society are exceeding the supply from the academic sector.

The Link Between Weak Fields and Cell Membranes

Article Abstract:

Much of the research on the effects of weak electromagnetic fields on organisms has been focused on interactions with cell membranes. These experiments are tied with exploring the effects of electromagnetic fields on the brain. The action of the cell membrane acting as a nonlinear resonator is being explored in this context.
