AUG 01, 1955

Thirty‐four electrical engineers and physicists met at Lehigh University February 7–9, 1955, to discuss desiderata in instruction by electrical engineering and physics departments for undergraduates in electrical engineering and other engineering in view of the changing demands on engineering education. Appropriate prerequisite and concurrent mathematical instruction was also considered. The deliberations of the conference led to the assignment of various committees to formulate the collective attitudes of the conference in reports which were then revised and adopted by the conference. The following reports were adopted without dissent, with the single exception that one dissenter wished to go on record on one of the reports.
