How the simulation and visualization technologies so pervasive in science, engineering, and design have changed our way of seeing the world. Over the past twenty years, the technologies of simulation and visualization have changed our ways of looking at the world. In Simulation and Its Discontents, Sherry Turkle examines the now dominant medium of our working lives and finds that simulation has become its own sensibility. We hear it in Turkle's description of architecture students who no longer design with a pencil, of science and engineering students who admit that computer models seem more “real” than experiments in physical laboratories. Echoing architect Louis Kahn's famous question, “What does a brick want?”, Turkle asks, “What does simulation want?” Simulations want, even demand, immersion, and the benefits are clear. Architects create buildings unimaginable before virtual design; scientists determine the structure of molecules by manipulating them in virtual space; physicians practice anatomy on digitized humans. But immersed in simulation, we are vulnerable. There are losses as well as gains. Older scientists describe a younger generation as “drunk with code.” Young scientists, engineers, and designers, full citizens of the virtual, scramble to capture their mentors' tacit knowledge of buildings and bodies. From both sides of a generational divide, there is anxiety that in simulation, something important is slipping away. Turkle's examination of simulation over the past twenty years is followed by four in-depth investigations of contemporary simulation culture: space exploration, oceanography, architecture, and biology.
The distinctive group of forty colleges profiled here is a well-kept secret in a status industry. They outdo the Ivies and research universities in producing winners. And they work their magic on the B and C students as well as on the A students. Loren Pope, director of the College Placement Bureau, provides essential information on schools that he has chosen for their proven ability to develop potential, values, initiative, and risk-taking in a wide range of students. Inside you'll find evaluations of each school's program and personality to help you decide if it's a community that's right for you; interviews with students that offer an insider's perspective on each college; professors' and deans' viewpoints on their school, their students, and their mission; and information on what happens to the graduates and what they think of their college experience. Loren Pope encourages you to be a hard-nosed consumer when visiting a college, advises how to evaluate a school in terms of your own needs and strengths, and shows how the college experience can enrich the rest of your life.
The State University System has low tuition and fees for resident undergraduates compared to public universities nationally. But just how low is tuition in Florida compared to other states? The answer varies slightly between the two commonly-cited surveys of tuition and fees, although both agree that Florida is among the least expensive states. The variations result from the different methodologies and groups of institutions included in the two surveys. Both surveys include mandatory fees as well as tuition in determining a college's "tuition and fees" charges. This information brief discusses the variations in findings from the AASCU/NASULGC (American Association of State Colleges and Universities/National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges) Survey; and the Washington Survey. [This brief was prepared by Planning and Institutional Research, Division of Colleges and Universities, Florida Department of Education.].
California charges its own residents less to attend its public colleges and universities than it charges nonresidents. All three of California's public postsecondary education segments charge resident students a systemwide enrollment fee. In addition, the California State University and the University of California also charge students mandatory, campus-based fees. These campus-based fees help support student services such as counseling, student union activities, student government, and recreation. California has sought to avoid charging resident students for the direct cost of instruction, which it charges as "tuition" to nonresident students. For the 2004-05 academic year, the California Community Colleges charged resident students $26 per credit unit--an increase from $18 per credit unit assessed in 2003-04. In 2004-05, a full-time California Community College student enrolled in 15 units per term paid $780 in mandatory statewide enrollment fees. This amount is lower than the fees charged by any other state in the nation. The state with the next lowest community college charges is New Mexico, which charges its full-time students $896 per year--nearly 15% more than the current California Community College fee level. In 2004-05, the average amount charged to a full-time resident community college students nationally was $2,324--nearly three times the amount charged by California's community colleges.
One of the primary functions of the California Postsecondary Education Commission is the assessment of the impact of various types and levels of student charges on students and on postsecondary education programs and institutions (66903) (b) (4). The Commission has fulfilled this role through the development of student fee policies in response to specific legislative mandates and through its analysis of the impact of state funding on student fees. Recent decisions by the Governor, the Legislature, and the segments of higher education highlight the continuing need for a statewide student fee policy. The Legislature is currently considering the Commission's recommendations for a long-term student fee policy. Assemblywoman Liu has incorporated the Commission's recommendations in her proposal, Assembly Bill 1072. This paper presents major policy issues on student fees and reexamines the Commission's student fee policy. A related memo and tabular data are appended. (Contains 2 displays.).
