Aeronautical Engineering has made momentous strides in the 56 years since the first flight of heavier- than-air machines. Since the Wright Brothers first airplane to today ' s supersonic fighters, the aircr aft industry has seen many changes. Today ' s aircraft designers and builders work as a team. Individual engineers concentrate their efforts on small phases of the overall project, resulting in a complicated but efficient design. More and more scientific knowledge is necessary to keep pace with today ' s advanced air- craft. The importance of basic knowledge in the fields of mathematics, physics, and mechanics is becoming more apparent. The Aeronautical Engineering De- partment at Indiana Technical College strives to have the student well prepared in the basic sciences before the advanced aeronautical topics are under- taken. A graduate with a B.S. degree in Aeronautical Engineering may enter many phases of the aero- nautical field. The ever increasing advances in the field of aeronautics, such as the earth satellite pro- ject, will continue to offer a challenge to the engineer of the present and future. PROFESSOR BENJAMIN L.
