Most of the Math Departments energies are devoted to the mathematical training of future engineersg however, the department is also rightly proud of its 40 offered courses, Na- tional Science Foundation research, an analog computors. Department head, Professor John lVl. Harrington, holds B.S. and EM. degrees from lVl.C.M.8zT., a Ph.M. degree from the University of Wisconsin, and membership in several education advancement minded or- ganizations.

The Department of Metallurgical Engineering offers courses designed to prepare students for employment in various fields involved in the production, fabrication, and use of metals and alloys. During the 1961-62 school year, 200 Tech students are Working toward the Bachelor of Science degree in Metallurgical Engineering. The need for these engineers is becoming more intense in the fields of atomic energy applications, steel industry, automotive and aeronautical in- dustries, as well as government bureaus and projects. The college is well located for the study of metallurgy, since foundries, smelters, rolling mills, and other plants are Within easy reach.
