I CORWIN A. HELLMER, M.S. Assistant Professor Chairman ENGINEERING Loras’ Department of Engineering is renowned for its flexible curriculum that provides for study in a wide range of engineering and engineering related fields. To further develop its potential, the department, for the first time, offered a Pre-professional Architect program this year. As evidenced by national urban renewal pro¬ grams, housing projects, and the general demand for newer and bigger structures, the face of the United States is changing. As a result, many architects are needed, and Loras is helping to meet this challenge. The new program is based on a solid liberal arts education until the end of the second or third year of study. Then the student transfers to an affiliated univer¬ sity to complete his architectural training. This format is like the other programs of pre-engineering which provides an engineering student with the opportunity to acquire the necessary background in mathematics, the physical sciences, and basic engineering courses, as well as other courses of interest. The Loras engineer¬ ing graduate has the technical as well as liberal arts background. The Department is making good use of one of Loras’ newest additions, the computer center. To engi¬ neering students, as well as students in the physical sciences and mathematics, a course in computer science is offered. DONALD I. MANOR. B.S. Pt.-tirne Instructor iliP 11 KENNETH O.
