Students in upper level broadcasting courses learned to use their creative skills by putting together their own television programs and by experimenting with their own commercials. The College of Veterinary Medicine housed a television studio which suited these needs. Each week, a news program entitled Mississippi State Update, was aired on Community Channel 10.

Ball Head of Electrical Engineering 176 — Dean of Engineering Dean of the College of Engineering at Mississippi State University since 1978, Dr. Willie L. McDaniel is a graduate of MSU himself — receiving his Master of Science in Electrical Engineering here. Dean McDaniel holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering as well as his Ph.D. He has written many technical papers and is the author of one book. His research has led to significant findings in the area of optimal systems. The College of Engineering is constantly undergoing revisions in order to meet the everchanging needs of our society associated with technological ad- vancements. Eleven programs are current- ly offered through the College. The heavy job potential found two years ago in Petroleum Engineering has now shifted to Electrical Engineering. The technology classes within all areas of engineering are be- ing eliminated, yet a new Computer Engineering curriculum is being implemented. According to Dean McDaniel, a student Engineers attack every- thing. Everything in society is touched by engineering. in engineering must have a great interest science and math. He must obtain a certa inquisitiveness of how to make it bettet Engineering is, as noted by Dr. McDani meeting a given human need in a manni demonstrably superior to any other way meeting that human need. In today ' s society it is necessary fi engineers to look outward. A superij engineer must know much about everythin! Engineers attack everything. Everything I society is touched by engineering. For t [ reason, the Colle of Engineering hj developed a bro;j base for iv students. Ov- one-eighth of t.J curriculum for :J engineers is devoted to the humanities. l ' McDaniel feels the College of Engineering prime concern is to maintain superior quali : within the academic. Secondly, the a ministration of the College is given challenge: to achieve such quality with tj weakening economic resources available.
