L you in I Nuclear Engineering (Continued From Page 1) ne of the biggest assets of the epartment is its visiting profes- or, Dr. Curtis G. Chezem, from ihe Los Alamos, N.M., Scientific laboratory. He adds the other- rise missing element making the epartment a well-rounded one. The new undergraduate degree rogram available this year for he first time requires only 137 lours, slightly less than other ngineering curriculums. But lis degree is not as easy to get s it sounds. Most of the courses squired are in some way related o mathematics, so if you are ot so inclined, then the road gets ocky. | BUT NUCLEAR engineering is itruly the field of the future in engineering. Right now, in 1966, for instance, 66 per cent of all the contracts given by major Selectrical plants in the United States were given to nuclear fa- ffilities. This fact alone indi cates the impact that nuclear en gineering will have in the near future. 1 "Then, why, among students VOLKSWAGENS New & Used 3 — 1965 Bugs 1 — 1964 Bug 1 — 1966 Bug 1 — 1957 Bug Used Cars Carry 100% Guarantee Hickman Garrett Motors Authorized Dealer 1701 S. College Bryan 822-0146 is there no particular enthusiasm for the field itself?” Dr. Emon asked. “The only answer I can give is that the students are just not informed as to what the op portunities are in the field. “The masses do not realize the true facts and the importance of nuclear engineering on their fu ture. The Atomic Age is upon us and no one can deny the impact it has already had.” AND THE facilities at A&M are some of the best to be found anywhere in the nation. Stu dents have access to the AGN-201 Laboratory, the Nuclear Science Center, a small accelerator which produces neutrons, and a radio isotopes development laboratory. And now that the Cyclotron Insti tute is completed, students will have another research facility at their disposal. Nuclear engineering does not take a vacation even during the vacation season. Starting con currently with the Texas A&M summer session will be a nuclear engineering summer institute sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission. The AGN-201 re actor is in use year-round for the benefit of everyone. TEXAS A&M was also the site for a National Topical Meeting On Coupled Reactor Kinetics in January. The gathering attract ed eminent nuclear scientists from all across the country. The meet ing accomplished a far greater task, however, as it proved to the nation that A&M could compete with anyone in nuclear engineer ing. Wives of aspiring nuclear en gineers at A&M are doing their bit of learning, too. Every fall, Dr. Emon teaches a short course to the wives of nuclear engineer ing majors to give them a better understanding of their husbands’ problems and work. The meet- Father, Son Now In Viet Service Two member of the Mims fam ily of San Antonio like the same things. Both have the same name, are graduates of Texas A&M and live in the same area—Saigon, South Vietnam. Second Lt. Forrest M. Mims III, 22, recently joined his father, Lt. Col. Forrest M.

The ma terial is simplified, leaving out most of the higher mathematics so the wives can understand it. TO SAY THAT the depart ment of nuclear engineering has a good secretary is to say the least. Her name is Beth Hutch inson and more often than not she manages to practice what she preaches. And what she preaches has to do with being an outstand ing secretary because she is the president of the Bryan-College Station chapter of the National Secretaries Association. So now the small, struggling department has finally started to move. The new undergraduate curriculum alone attracted 10 freshmen and 14 transfers this fall. Dr. Cochran expects the present enrollment of about 50 to double in the next five years. IT TOOK EIGHT years but finally the pace picks up. In this era when scientific technology is growing at a rate unsurpassed in history, nuclear engineering is forced to mature rapidly or be left behind in the path of prog ress and the department at Tex as A&M has begun to mature.
