Introduction
Engineer intelligence is processed engineer information which is immediately or potentially significant in
planning and making sound decisions to accomplish a specific mission.
The engineer, however, has a dual responsibility for producing engineer intelligence. He must furnish
intelligence for engineer operations. He must also furnish intelligence to all branches for use in connection with the
planning and operational needs of commanders and staffs.
Part of this subcourse is devoted to a discussion of the intelligence cycle, the procedures by which information
is collected, processed into intelligence, and distributed to users. The remainder of the subcourse discusses the
reconnaissance procedures upon which engineers rely to gather much of the data necessary for engineer intelligence.
This subcourse consists of four lessons and an examination as follows:
The lessons are not a test from USAES. You will be learning from them and then testing yourself. As soon as
you feel ready to take the examination, send the request card to the U. S. Army Engineer School. The grade that you
receive on the examination is the grade for the subcourse.
Twelve credit hours are allowed for this subcourse.

INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS
How To Study Programmed Instruction.
This is a programmed instruction text in which the information is broken down into small steps called "frames".
Each frame contains teaching point, and to let you prove to yourself that you hub learned this point, a response
section with blank spaces is provided. Fill in the blanks of the response and then check your answers by the answer
line placed just above the next frame. The filling in of the blanks is a necessary part of the programmed
instruction technique. Also, correct any wrong answers you may make, as this will help you remember the teaching
point. Illustrations, charts, and tables are called "panels" and the related frames will direct you to them for study.
Notice that the pages of the lessons are divided into 2 parts by a horizontal line. Start with the first frame at the
top of the page and continue numerically through the frames at the top; then return to the front of the lesson and
complete the frames in the bottom half of the page and so on.
As you proceed through the frames, try to pace yourself in your study. Take breaks at convenient stopping
points or the completion of topics, such as at the end of a set or lesson.
Self-Tests
At the end of each lesson is a self-test. This is a series of questions covering the lesson as a whole. Answer
each one and then verify your answers by referring to the solutions and frames listed at the end of each lesson. This
review is an important part of the learning process.
