The proliferation of new knowledge has made it increasingly difficult fo professionals to keep up with advances in today's fast-moving technology The State-of-the-Arts Program is designed to help practitioners stay abreast c the latest developments in their field by supplementing their learning on th; job with more formalized course work.

The courses present relevant information in a ready-to-use form. They a designed for adults, and take into consideration the individual differenc amongst the participants. Class size is intentionally limited to permi flexibility and enable ample discussion of the course content.

For the first time in the eleven year history of the program, this catalo] describes the full year's course offerings. Please keep it as a reference Bulletins for Spring Semester courses will list scheduling information onlyl

In addition to our continually evolving engineering programs, you will dj| cover a variety of new courses in biomedical sciences, occupational heal^ and safety, and general management of technological organizations. Thes courses will attract many new participants from diverse fields of profe.ssionil practice. I would like to welcome them and hope that they will find exper ences in our program meaningful to their continuing professional develop ment. Hi

Continuing ducation and he Professional

) achieve and maintain preeminence, professionals must be alert to the test accomplishments in their fields, the ideas or theories accepted and jected, the speculative developments in progress, and the new knowledge ^nanating from research that affects their work.

3?sourcefui practitioners help themselves stay abreast of technological ad- inces through personal contribution to those advances, diligence in the view of scientific and technical literature, and by attendance at or participa-

'iDn in their professional society seminars and symposia. However, it is ^coming increasingly difficult for professional people to acquire perspec- /e and depth in their own fields, or in the numerous peripheral areas, ithout formal studyof a continuing sort at the very frontiers of knowledge or areas involving complex techniques. Recognition of this fact is now basic to )ntinued professional growth and noteworthy contribution.

ortheastern University, through the Center for Continuing Education, pro- des a neutral ground where student talent can be assembled from diverse ganizations with common interests in given areas of technological ad-

'mce. it seeks out leading contributors to those advances who are also able stimulate study and provide insights essential to understanding. It de- ?Iops an academic climate conducive to discussion, examination, explora-

bn, conception, and learning. It maintains small class size (classes average 5 students) to provide individual participation and development. It encour- ^es scholarship leading to the significant and measurable acquisition of new

Unowledge or proficiency in new techniques. It combines the resources of le industrial and academic communities in appraising trends in technology )r the planning and offering of programs aimed specifically at advancing the

1l3mpetence and competitive position of New England industry.

nteractive Programs n Engineering and he Applied Physical iciences

le Center for Continuing Education develops interactive continuing educa- )n programs to meet the special needs of certain industrial and business ganizations, research institutions, and government agencies. These pro- ams assist engineers and physical scientists in assessing the current state- -the-art in their fields, establishing realistic goals for achievement, and fanning research and development activities necessary to achieve those |)als consistent with their present position and competence.

Irticipants for the programs are carefully selected during joint meetings l?tween members of both the client organization and the faculty of The snter for Continuing Education. Most of the new knowledge taught at

eractive sessions comes from the participants themselves, but experts are ought in to provide theoretical and applied knowledge as required at class ssions and to remain as consultants during problem solving interaction hongst the participants. Classes are deliberately kept small. The emphasis is ji problem solving, creativity, evaluation, design synthesis, theoretical

alysis, and practical innovation. In most instances, such interactive pro- -ams pay for themselves through the increased competence of the partici- ints and the actual solution of company problems while the course is in iOgress.

irsons or organizations interested in exploring interactive continuing edu- tion as described above should contact Professor Israel Katz, Director of jvanced Engineering Programs, Room 310 Churchill Hall, Northeastern niversity, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, or by calling (617) 437-2612.

5913 Computer Organization and Microprogramming

An understanding of computer organization and microprogramming opera- tion is developed by direct observation of the computer's step-by-step, instruction-by-instruction operation using Computer Design Language (CDL). This highly descriptive, nonprocedural, register transfer language makes an indepth description possible for various computer architectures.

The CDL is described by illustrating simple, logical organizations such as comparators and stored carry addition. Microprogram control concepts are analyzed by designing a stored logic microprogrammed control computer. CDL descriptions of fixed point and floating point arithmetic units are de- veloped as well as memory addressing schemes, memory stacks, associative memory and virtual memoryorganizations. This design simulation technique enables the student to map any hardware scheme to software implementa- tion to validate a design and reduce risks associated with new concepts. An attempt will be made to enable participants to gain access to computer terminals for hands-on experience, and the opportunity to solve participants' work-related problems using the CDL simulator.

'9706 Current Issues in Urban Development

This seminar series provides an analysis of issues facing municipal govern- ments and discussesalternativesforcoping with them. Emphasis is placed on the translation of public policy objectives into realistic resolution of urban problems through actual examples. During discussions, participants are en- :ouraged to relate their own experiences to problems of government in their Tiunicipalities. The seminars also provide opportunities for deeper insights :o municipal problems so that persons professionally committed to finding and implementing solutions, or those persons having a stake in urban de- /elopment, are enabled to perform their work with greater effectiveness.

Course Content Physical and Economic Development: economic and in- dustrial development, urban housing, urban transportation. Municipal Ser- /ices: water resources and solid waste management, public safety adminis- tration, environmental quality control. Fiscal Problems and Urban Policy: inancing municipal government, new directions for city government.
