CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Cbzzimzzzzz-Professor john Happel, I received the B.S. Degree in 1929 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the M.S, Degree in Chemical Engineering Practice from the same institution in 1930. I received the degree Doctor of Chemical Engineering from Brooklyn Poltechnic Institute in 1948. I have organized and given graduate courses there and also special lectures in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware. One year after joining the faculty of New York University in 1948, I became Chairman of the Chemical Engineering De- partment, the position which I now hold. I began my professional career with the Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. in 1930 and remained with this organization, serving in various techni- cal capacities, until 1948. During the war. I was a member of the Petroleum Industry War Council and of a technical committee which was charged with the responsibility for design and initial operation of the world's largest butadiene from petroleum plant. After the war. I returned to Socony-Vacuum Oil Co, fnow Socony Mobilj and was engaged in various petro-chemical projects until I joined New York University. At the University. I have continued to do research in the field of synthetic organic chemicals, especially the produc- tion of low molecular weight hydrocarbons fsuch as ethylene. methyl acetylene and butadienej and their utilization. I have also been active in the investigation of the hydrodynamics of particulate systems and chemical process economics. The author of numerous technical papers and Chemical Prorerr Erouomirr. Wiley, 1958, I am also credited with a score of patents on petroleum and petrochemical subjects. I am a member of the American Chemical Society fHonor Scroll of I. 8: E. CJ, American Institute of Chemical Engineers fTyler Award, member of Program and Admissions Committeesj, American Institute of Chemists, American Rocket Society.

CIVIL ENGINEERING Clmirmmr-Professor James Michalos. I took my B.S. from the University of Wisconsin in 1958, and, seven years later, my engineering masters from Yale University. In '63, I am serving as a National Science Founda- tion Senior Post-Doctorate Fellow at the University of Cam- bridge, England. I have been a consultant to industry, engineering firms, and government on design, structural mechanics, and structural dy- namics. In my eight years as chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering at the Heights, we have developed a full-time daytime graduate program and drastically revised the undergraduate program, especially emphasizing scientific engi- neering. My Theory of Szrzzclzzral Amzljtrir and Design, published in 1958. followed by several years the seminar programs I conducted at Princeton University and at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, I have also taught at Montana State College, Syracuse University, and Iowa State College, In addition, I was con- tributing editor of Vmz N0Jl1z11zd'r Scienlifir Encyclopedia, author 'of approximately thirty published technical papers, and have presented papers at national and international meet- ings.

COLLEGE OE ENGINEERI G AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS Cbniwnmz-Professor Lee Arnold. I was born in Chicago, Illinois, and, with the passing of time, I graduated with honors in mathematics from Duke University in 1937. At Duke, I played on the varsity football team and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in my junior year. After Duke, I studied under a fellowship at the Guggen- heim School of Aeronautics at Cal Tech, where I served as an assistant to Dr. Theodore von Karman. Seven years later I took my Ph.D. from Columbia. One of my hrst jobs was with the Glenn L. Martin Com- pany, where I was in charge of the dynamics group and helped establish one of the first aeroelasticity groups in the U. S. In the early 194O's, I formed and headed Republic Air- craft, an aeroelasticity concern. In the '50's, I became president of Lee Arnold Associates, Inc,, consultants to various govern- ment agencies, where I developed, along with Dr. von Karman, the application of Thwaite's airfoil to ship stabilization. From 1945-53, I was a partner in the Biot and Arnold firm, in which we acted as consultants in applied mathematics and physics. During this period we were consultants also to the air force, the navy, the Army Ordinance Ballistic Research Laboratory, Edo Aircraft, and Hamilton Standard. I have also been a consultant to the Advisory Group for Aeronautical Research of NATO. Under the sponsorship of AGARD, I have lectured at the Sorbonne, the University of Rome, the University of Athens, the University of Brussels, the University of Delft, and the Swedish Aeronautical Laboratory in Stockholm.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Cbfzirmmz-Professor james H. Mulligan. I joined the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineer- ing of New York University in September 1949. I have held the position of Chairman of the Department since 1952 and the rank of Professor of Electrical Engineering since 1953. I received the B.E.E. and the EE. degrees from the Cooper Union School of Engineering, the M.S. degree from Stevens Institute of Technology, and the Ph.D. degree from Columbia University. I was Hrst employed in the transmission development depart- ment of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, and later became a member of the Combined Research Group of the Naval Re- search Laboratory, where I served as Project Engineer for one of the radar IFFD equipments. At the conclusion of World War II, I joined the Allen B, DuMont Laboratories where I was initially concerned with research and development work on portable and studio television pickup and video equipment and subsequently chief engineer of the television transmitter division. I have been quite active in the two electrical engineering professional societies which were recently merged into the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. At the present time, I am Chairman of the Professional Technical Group on Circuit Theory and the Education Committee of the IEEE as well as being a member of several other technical committees. I am one of the representatives of the IEEE on the Engineers' Council for Professional Development as well as a member of the Education and Accreditation Committee of that group.
