The theme of the sixth annual Engineering Conference at Texas A&M University, sponsored by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), is ‘The Nuts and Bolts of Engineering,” said Peggy Fisher, conference publicity chairman. The 1981 conference is designed to teach students about engineering, Fisher said. The group will be about 60 percent female. This is the first | year males will attend, she said. Along with the conference Satur day will be an industrial exhibition in the H. B. Zachry Engineering | Center lobby. Texas Instruments, Procter and Gamble, and Alcoa are three of the I companies that will have booths set “P to provide information and answer questions that students may | tave, Fisher said. Thirteen Texas A6cM engineering societies will also have booths in the $20 COULD GO FARTHER THAN YOU THINK! V T ! ' you ar e a person who needs to travel, $20 could lead to a boost in your Business.

Becky Graham, a senior political science major, probably wondered what was going on when she re ceived a Dean’s Honor Award from the College of Engineering. Graham was not the only non engineer honored. Stan Lowy, associate dean of stu dent affairs in the College of En gineering, said the mixup occurred when one of the other colleges pick ed up the wrong set of address labels listing students who were to receive achievement certificates. He would not comment further saying he felt the mismailing had had enough pub licity already. One student in the College of Li beral Arts who received a certificate “thought it was hilarious.” The computer center, Lowy said, prints address labels for the College of Engineering, as well as the other colleges on campus, and somehow, certificates that were to go to stu dents in the engineering depart ment were sent to others instead. Lowy said he doesn’t know how many certificates were sent to the ■wrong people.

England, geophysi cist and astronaut for the National Aeronautics and Space Administra tion (NASA), Fisher said. Following the banquet, students will participate in a design contest trying to use engineering skills and available materials to design some thing, Fisher said. Last year participants in the con test had to use paper and paper towels to design a sailboat, she said. Saturday the visiting students will tour the different engineering de partments and each of them will be asked to choose three departments to visit. Tours of the University cam pus will also be available. Also on Saturday the students will attend panel discussions. “One panel will consist of profes sional engineers and the other will be students in engineering,” Fisher said.
