recently begun to discuss standards that would apply specifically toU.S. universities with operations abroad. In the summer of 1994, theCenter for Quality Assurance in International Education co-sponsored anad hoc meeting of national association representatives to explore thequestion, "Does U.S. higher education need a foreign policy?" A followup meeting was held in December. The result was a set of standards putforth for discussion by Steve Crowe, Deputy Director, North CentralAssociation of Colleges and Universities. The standards were later revisedand published as "A Voluntary Presentation of Standards for U.S.Institutions Offering Credit - Bearing Programs Abroad." [1

student responses and response times as well as informationon gender, current major, number of previous graphics courses completed, and method used tosolve the test items. The theoretical framework of the study is based on Paivio’s dual-codingtheory [1]. Coordinate axes were added to a portion of the PSVT for the experimental group todetermine if the axes provided contextual cues necessary to improve scores and response times.The researcher hypothesized that coordinate axes would provide verbal cues that could be codedalong with nonverbal information to improve mental rotation efficiency. The additionalcoordinate axes slightly (but not significantly) improved scores on the PSVT, but not responsetimes.Introduction Spatial ability has been

in (1) computational procedures for physical equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, andmultiple equilibrium-stage separation operations for multicomponent mixtures, and (2)correlations for thermodynamic properties, especially fugacities, activity coefficients, enthalpies,and enthalpies. Both of these developments had the potential to greatly increase the accuracy ofprocess design.Prior to the 1950s, stage and reflux requirements for multicomponent distillation weredetermined by (1) graphical pseudo-binary methods using McCabe-Thiele or Ponchon-Savaritdiagrams, (2) the shortcut procedure of Fenske, Underwood, and Gilliland, or (3) very tediousand iterative stage-to-stage calculations, one equation at a time, using the Lewis-Matheson orThiele

. The design features a single 8-bitregister (the accumulator) for data processing and I/O, one flag (the zero flag) for conditionaltesting, an 8-bit register for use as the program counter, and a 256-byte memory store. A verysimplistic instruction set containing a minimal amount of features is then provided. Thisinstruction set, shown in Figure 1, allows for simple processing of integer values through the useof load, store, add, branch, input, and output operations. The load and add operations can beperformed with either immediate or stored values. Both the input and output operations interactwith the user through use of TextField objects. The instruction set also includes an end operationso that the simulation can be halted when execution is
