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.

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-

ings are more of a discussion per
iod than a class, but a film is
presented each time. 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.

Forrest III is the Aggie in
ventor who miniaturized a radio
and designed and constructed an
electronic “seeing eye” device for
the visually handicapped.
Lieutenant Mims’ father met
him on arrival at Tan Son Nhut
air base.
“He helped me get settled,” the
young Mims said. “Naturally, it’s
great to be able to see my father
once in a while.”
The only difference is the
Mims’ jobs. Colonel Mims is
deputy for engineering for the
Saigon-based Air Force Regional
Civil Engineer, which monitors
Air Force construction programs
in Vietnam.
The lieutenant is a photo inter
preter in the 13th Reconnaissance
Squadron intelligence develop
ment center at Tan Son Nhut,
near Saigon.
Colonel Mims is a gradu
ate of A&M. He attended the
universtiy under the Air Force
Institute of Technology program
and went to Vietnam after assign
ment at Randolph AFB.
The colonel’s comments on the
importance of the Vietnam job
influenced his son to go to Viet
nam.
The lieutenant volunteered for
Vietnam while finishing his
senior year in the AFROTC pro
gram at A&M. When he gradu
ated last May, he was commis
sioned a second lieutenant and
attended a five-month intelligence
school at Lowry AFB, Colo.
“During the short time we have
been together in Vietnam, a closer
father-son relationship has de
veloped between us,” the father
said. “We certainly know one
another better.”

Transportation Institute Gets
Auto Collision Study Grant
Protective devices to stop ve
hicles before they collide with
solid objects adjacent to the high
way will be subjected to testing
at the Texas Transportation Insti
tute Safety Proving Grounds
under a $90,000 grant from the
U. S. Department of Commerce’s
Bureau of Public Roads to the
Texas A&M Research Founda
tion.
The testing of the protective
devices, or impact attenuation
devices as they are generally
called, will be conducted under
the direction of I. J. Taylor,
supervisor of the proving grounds,
announced Prof. Charles J. Keese,
executive officer of the institute.
The institute’s program include
safety-oriented research endeav
ors and the testing further rounds
out its quests to sameguard the
highway traveling public, Keese
said.
Impact attenuation devices are
contrivances or special obstacles
located in front of hazardous im
movable objects along the high
way to decelerate the speed of
vehicles that are about to collide
with immovable objects so that
the likelihood of injury to drivers
and passengers is lessened.
The grant to Texas A&M stems
from a recent feasibility study to
impact attenuation devices by
institute researchers. The study
is being conducted in research for
the Bureau of Public Roads and
the highway departments of 13
states and the District of Colum
bia and deals with breakaway
sign post and sign windload
studies.
The new work, to start immedi
ately, will involve protective de
vices for bridge ends, massive
posts and other immovable fix
tures.
A&M Gets Grant
For In-Service
Teacher Training
Texas A&M is recipient of a
$20,820 National Science Founda
tion grant renewal to conduct
teacher in-service training at
Tyler and Galena Park, announced
President Earl Rudder.
The grant supports 1967-68
geology and astronomy programs
at Lee High School in Tyler and
geology and oceanography pro
grams at Galena Park North
Shore High.
Directed by Dr. Dale Leipper,
A&M oceanography professor, the
programs will accommodate 25
school teachers per semester from
grades 7 through 12, noted Cole
man M. Loyd, A&M’s NSF pro
grams coordinator.
Class meetings will be held at
Lee and North Shore High
Schools. Astronomy will be of
fered next fall at Lee, while
geology is under study at North
Shore. Spring programs will
offer geology and oceanography
at Tyler and Galena Park, re
spectively.
Qualifying teachers will receive
stipends to cover books, tuition
and travel to attend classes, Loyd
added.

cations are available from him,
