CI IL ENGINEERI G Seated, left to right: L. A. Robert, S. E. Kicinski, D. L. Schaible, G. J. Caspary, T. H. Barrett, E. P. Wiedenhoffer. Second row: John E. Fritz, O. D. Boutilier, M. M. Bowers, P. Reddy, W. M. Haas. I Upon the retirement of the Professor W. C. Rolkinghorne, Prof. E. P. Wiedenhoefer assumed the post of department head. Prof, T. H. Barrett shall retire at the end of this year. New faculty members include Donald C. Schaible, Class of '59, and P. Damoder Reddy, graduate student. The Civil Engineering curriculum was revised last year and the new curriculum is now in effect. More mathe- matics and engineering sciences were added as require- ments. The senior options are no longer required although the courses may still be elected. The new curriculum of- fers a well rounded program of study in mathematics, the engineering sciences, the professional fields of Civil Engi- neering and the humanities.

ENGINEERING IVIECH ICS 9' Hotchkiss Hall Seated, left to right: B. B. Muvdi, A. S. Weaver, C. E. Work, V. W. Snyder, B. .I. Finn. Second row: M. O. Peach, T. L. Chou, J. F. Harrington, J. B. Foote, W. Hichlen, R. K. Cadman, G. W. Brown, W. E. Saul, J. M. Dalrymple. The department of Engineering Mechanics provides the basic engineering principles to 'I'ech's future Engineers. Although an undergraduate's degree is not available, a graduate one is. All students of engineering, no matter which field it is, are required to take E. M. Courses, in order to graduate. The majority of classes are held in Hotchkiss Hall, while the labs are located both there and in the Civil-Geological Building. There are also some classes held in a temporary building which illu- strates the largeness of enrollment in Engineering Mechanics courses. At present there are full time professors, instruc- tors, and a number of student instructors in the department who are striving to impress the funda- mentals of engineering on the future leaders of the field.
