engineering DEAN HAROLD E. WESSMAN Good afternoon, sir. My name is John Smith. I will be graduating from high school this year, and I intend to study engineering. I wonder if you could tell me some- thing about the University of Washington School of En- gineering — the curriculum, the teaching facilities, and how well it is accredited. I ' m glad to see you are taking such an interest in the school you attend, John. I am more than glad to tell you about our school here at Washington. First year students in engineering take general courses, which are taught by the General Engineering Department. After the first year, undergraduate engineers may specialize in aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, mining, metallurgical, or ceramic engineering. In addi- tion, students take prescribed courses in the humanistic- social area. How many people are there on the teaching staff? Approximately 110 persons, chosen from all branches of the profession. Almost every faculty member has had practical professional experience, in addition to ad- vanced graduate study. How about accreditation? How does the school rank nationally? ' All curricula taught here are accredited by the Engi- neers ' Council for Professional Development, which is the principal accrediting agency recognized by the en- gineering profession in the United States. When ranked with schools from all over the country the College of Engineering of the University of Washington has achieved a very high status. Is there any other course of study besides the regular four-year program? Yes, the College offers a course of study in industrial engineering for which a second bachelor ' s degree is awarded at the end of five years. After completing the first four years majoring in any of the branches of en- gineering, courses in industrial management and re- lated subjects comprise the fifth year. Thank you, sir. You ' ve answered all my questions, and from what you ' ve said, I feel fairly certain that you ' ll find me enrolled here at the University of Washington School of Engineering next year. 22 VICTOR M.

He remarked to the student nearest him, This dental school is very good, isn ' t it? It certainly is, the student replied proudly. It ' s ap- proved by the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association and by the American Asso- ciation of Dental Schools. Only a select group of stu- dents are admitted, and they get the benefit of the best educational techniques in the field. But don ' t you get tired of studying nothing but sci- ence? he continued, Oh, but we don ' t, was the emphatic reply. We try to get as broad a liberal background as possible, in order to gain a better understanding of human rela- tionships. We don ' t leave a dentistry course until we really know the material. It ' s the aim of every student to become o good dentist. DEAN MAURICE J. HICKEY School of Dentistry dentistry and Future dentists gain practical experience. education Susan graduates from the College of Education this spring. Her family will be especially proud because her father was a member of the first class to graduate from this college which was established in 1914. Susan said she found the reading clinic and curriculum workshops to be of great help to her. The visits to student teachers, consultative programs, and informal help through letters and telephone calls were services I could not get along without, said Susan. The library facilities were excellent, too. Susan said graduates from the College of Education feel they have mastered academic content and profes- sional techniques. ' They can think creatively, value good citizenship, and reflect the best in democracy ' ore words I hove heard spoken about these graduates, she added. Susan believes good teachers ore indebted to the ex- cellent training they receive in the College of Education. 24 DEAN FRANCIS F. POWERS College of Education
