Six phases of engineering study are available in the college: aeronautical, chemical, civil, industrial, elec- trical, and mechanical. Candidates for engineering de- grees must complete the two year curriculum in the university college and two years work in any of these six fields. Facilities are also provided for high level grad- uate work. The college holds a unique position in that all of its curricula are accredited nationally. The people of Florida should realize the services that this college is performing for them. Its research in the CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Pine trees and sandy beaches.

The expansion of work in the teaching division of the college will include aviation courses in supersonic flows, ceramics, city planning, stress analysis, advanced hydraulics fgraduate levclj advanced dynamics and vi- bration, photoelasticity, fluid mechanics, and expanded graduate work in all of the existing departments. The greatest need of the college at this time seems to be adequate housing. The fire hazard is great. Plans for a new building have been prepared, and it is esti- mated that the cost of constructing and furnishing the building will be approximately four million dollars. This will provide a building which can hold under one roof all the teaching and research activities in the six fields. The proposed building will contain 220,150 square feet.

Colle e of SURVEYINC TIIE DRILL FIELD Wartime lulls and normal aclivily. During the wartime lull at the University of Florida, one of the few colleges to remain normally active was the college of engineering. The development of a new detonating fuse was one of several outstanding contri- butions to war research by this college. Since V-I Day, engineering has moved from the battlefront into the everyday life of the general public, and its contributions have stimulated engineering education, research, and development at the university to an unprecedented degree. Growth of the dual-purposed program under the di- rection of Dean Joseph Weil is reflected by an increase in the size of the faculty from 22 full-time members- in 1941 to its present 218. In 1941 there were 155 students, today, 510 students a1'e in the college, and 1,300 others are enrolled in pre-engineering courses.

A Florida student receiving his education in the state will more than likely remain in the state to work and will be trained to meet the particular needs of this penin- sula, whereas those leaving the state for training too often do not return. The latter creates a scarcity in the munber of adequately trained engineers in Florida. Florida is still a relatively undeveloped state. The vast majority of its acreage is not palm tree and beach but pine tree and sand. Susceptibility to hurricanes, need for water conservation, difficulty in proper road con- struction-these are only a few of the problems which must be solved by Florida's engineers. For this reason, the college of engineering's plans for expansion are pro- FLORIDA'S OVVN ATOM SMASIIER Deionaling fuses and fire hazards, P11117 Qfrgrpg-'gy
