In a world where people have to quicken an already rapid pace to stay abreast of new developments in the field of high technology, the groundwork to meet future needs at Southern Tech is being laid in the 1980's for the goals of the Year 2000 and the future beyond. southern Tech has set into motion a plan of action to meet the challenges that are certain | to come with the future. With an ever-growing demand for more and more well-trained engineering technology personnel from business, industry and education, Southern Tech has begun preparation to accept the challenge and produce more needed graduates. Southern Tech’s plans and goals all point to growth — in enrollment, in land and facilities, in faculty, in academic offerings, and in resources. The anticipated expansion in these areas are all components to ensure a continued growth in excellence. The first stages of that growth pattern are already in evidence. The Southern Tech fabuty, consisting of some of the most knowledgeable and well- -respected technologists sand educators in the country, are nationally recognized as leaders in-engineering techr OGY education and are active on the national scene. Southern Tech graduates are’ qualifeid for about 80% of the jobs in the,technological spectrum and 95% of them are er ae fe in the fields for which they were prepared.

Within another 10 years, Southern Tech is expected to have acquired another dorm, another academic building, additional recreational facilities, and new wings added to the Library and Student Center. It is possible that Southern Tech will have added another 20 acres of land adjacent to the campus. Changes are expected to be made in some of the college’s academic offerings. One plan being’ developed is the inclusion of masters degree programs in some academic departments within the next few years. An offering of minors in various diciplines is another possibility. A degree program in Construction Technology is under consideration. A possible association with Kennesaw College may develop, with the two Marietta colleges combining their soecialized resources in liberal arts and engineering technology to support each other's academic programs. Steps toward heightening Southern Tech’s reputation as a center of excellence were undertaken in 1983, with the establishment of the college’s first two ““Centers of Excellence” — the Office Automation Laboratory and the Satellite Communications Laboratory. Discussions have already begun on additional “Center of Excellence’: laboratories for Computer-Aided Instruction, Automated Manfacturing, Computerized Architectual Design, Industrial Production, Process Control and Instrumentation, Heating, Puligting and Air Conditioning, and Lasers and Fiber Optics.

PO Pen ig Ae (DRAWING BY SOUTHERN TECH STUDENT BILL TOWSON.) a r Ke, ne, ke 61 See ne ———eEEw qoparel Apparel is America’s third largest consumer industry, yet a void exists for highly trained men and women to fill middle management positions. Southern Tech offers two and four-year degrees in Apparel Engineering Technology. Started in 1967 at the request of the American Apparel Manufacturers Association, the program is the only one of its kind in the nation. It prepares students for a career in the apparel industry as production managers, engineers, training directors, designers and quality control managers. Rapidly advancing technology and changing consumer needs are challenging the industry to become progressive, innovative and exciting. Traditionally labor intensive, the apparel industry is moving rapidly into mechanization — industries are utlizing Computer technology, lasers, micro-processors, automatic sensing and handling equipment and modern adhesives and bonding. Staying on the leading edge of technology requires qualified men and women interested in management careers. Southern Tech combines classroom, laboratory, and on-the-job experience to train graduates for responsible management positions. Exciting careers are awaiting apparel graduates in all 50 states. The four largest apparel-producing areas in the nation are New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Dallas. STI graduates are quickly stepping into responsible, good-salaried positions. There are more people in the apparel industry making over their age in thousands of dollars per year than in any other industry in the U.S. Because Southern Tech’s program is highly respected by the apparel industry and because of its uniqueness, many Southern Tech apparel graduates are plant managers or production managers within two to five years after graduation. The apparel program teaches the methods, materials and machinery used in the production of all apparel items. The program makes extensive use of case studies and current technology. As an apparel major at Southern Tech, you learn the entire sequence of apparel manufacturing — the selection of fibers and fabrics, pattern grading and design, Operator selection and training, machine evaluation and testing, cutting, pressing, warehousing and distributing. The production planning course integrates major engineering principles — costing, production rating, and plant layout. Students benefit greatly from Southern Tech’s close ties with the apparel and textile industries. Industries help to provide funding, student scholarships and lab equipment. They sponsor plant visits and send guest lecturers to the college. Many students participate in the co-op program alternating work and school quarters to combine classroom and on-the-job training. Many industries sponsor students, paying fees while providing work experience. A number of students take advantage of summer and part-time job opportunities provided by the apparel industry. 62 fufure asoects of aet Architecture has always been a profession which predicts the future. Frank Lloyd Wright, in his time, designed buildings which shaped the future of American architecture as well as that around the globe. Atlanta architect John Portman is designing buildings which will be emulated for years to come. Architecture has and will continue to be one of the most exciting and creative professions. Combine the talents of the imaginative architect and the wonders of the modern computer, and you have a dynamic force with limitless potential. The Architectural Engineering Technology Department at Southern Tech has more than a bright future. The AET graduate will become the individual in the architectural firm which will direct computer aided design (CAD) systems. The use of the drafting pencil and paper will practically disappear from the classroom and the drafting room. Computers will draft plans, specify materials, and prepare estimates for building projects. Work that now requires weeks of manual preparation will be produced in a matter of minutes. The classroom will become learning labs without drafting tables. Work stations for students will have computers and monitors with vast amounts of information stored in memory. AET will produce graduates which are highly qualified for careers in construction as well as architecture. Closed circuit T.V. contact will be made with the construction sites where students in a classroom can observe the construction techniques as they actually take place. Communication systems will become so advanced that the construction professionals can handle most aspects of a building project from one work station. New degrees in architecture, architectural engineering, architectural technology and building construction are all feasible options for the future of the AET Department at S.T.|. As long as people need shelter for themselves and their activities, they will need well educated graduates in the field of architecture and building construction. The AET Department will do its part to supply them. 63 Civil Engineering Technology has risen, in the past few years, above its original roots as providing assistants to engineers. This department's graduates have earned professional reputations which have allowed them to enter careers as reponsible technical professionals. Surveying has always been an attractive profession for two-year Civil Engineering Technology graduates and now, with increased demands placed on surveyors to be knowledgeable in the strict control guidelines placed on designing for site development, the surveyor is finding more and more need for technical competence beyond traditional surveying, More and more four-year graduates are sought, because of their knowledge of construction practices, hydraulics, drainage, and route design, to participate at responsible professional level in site development. The construction industry, particularly in management positions, has become a major employer of CET graduates, and the curriculum will soon reflect the effects of those new employment trends by making more construction practice management coursework available. In the past, design has been a substantial part of the thrust of CET coursework, but society’s need is gradually shifting highways, from designing of new bridges to the upgrading and repair of existing bridges, and from the design of new water and wastewater treatment systems to maintenance and rebuilding of existing systems. Adequate preparation of graduates will require a shift in emphasis in coursework in “pavement rehabilitation’, “structural inspection and repair’, and “upgrading of urban transportation systems” will likely appear. : More and more, engineering technology graduates are becoming involved in management level positions, wherein they must rely not only on technical skills, but also on the management and communication skills; curricula will gradually be modified for developing those new skills. The Computer has catapaulted into engineering technology practice from field surveying to construction management to structural design, and it will be imperative that curricula reflect the evolution of current professional practice with its extensive use of computers and other electronics to measure, record, compute, and manage technical data. The future for Civil Engineering Technology at Southern Tech will be exciting and demanding as we meet challenges of today and prepare for new challenges of the future. omputers Technology and computers are career areas in highest demand in today’s society. With the rapid growth of “high Tech” industries and the increasing need for continued computerization by business and government, the job market is strong. Currently there are not enough technical graduates to fill employers needs; and, all predictions are that the job outlook for technical graduates will become even better in the future. Job opportunities have been increasing dramatically over the last several years in the computer occupational area. Employment of computer professionals is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through the 1980's according to U.S. Department of Labor Statistics. Job growth is especially great in the areas of system software and application software. These highly demanded careers can be prepared for in the computer software program at Southern Tech. Students are offered the best of both worlds ... classes and labs in computing and computer applications combined with engineering technology. This combination is an unique and highly marketable college education. The students enrolling in the computer software program will learn about computers from the hardware through highly sophisticated application software. The class offerings include a variety of programming languages, system analysis and design, Computer architecture, Management information systems and graphics. 65 a industrial In the Department of Industrial Engineering Technology our focus is ON°6ur students!

Strength of Materials SN ee ee Se ee ee he Seen _ ER ecet spotlight Mr. Tobin A. McTyre has been chosen as the overall STUDENT SPOTLIGHT. Tobin McTyre has been a dynamic part of STI since he became a student in 1980. Tobin had two goals when he came to STI (both he considered to be of equal importance), The first goal was to get his education in ECET. This goal will be accomplished by receiving his bachelors degree. Tobin will graduate with an overall GPA of SPle Tobin accomplished his second goal, improving his people and administrative skills, while leaving a history of outstanding endeavors. He has been active in all phases of campus activities and student government. Some of Mr. McTyres involvements are: Student Government Pi Kappa Phi President 82 83 President 81 82 Vice President 81 82 Sec. Treas. 80 81 Sec. Treas, 80 84 Best Greek Award - 1983 Student of the Year - 1983 Who's Who Among Students at American Universities and Colleges - 1982 Tobin has been active with the Student Judiciary Cabinet and is Executive Vice President (and one of the founders) of The Executive Round Table, a student forum with industrial leaders. He considers the academic calendar change for the Fall Quarter of 1983 as one of his biggest accomplishments. Tobin credits Professor Burton as being his most influential instructor at ST| because of the incentive he created. He credits Professor Zimney as being his toughest, because of his emphasis on theory. Tobin McTyre agrees that STl has more than adequately prepared him for a career. He has no regrets about choosing STl over Georgia Tech. When asked what he would miss most or remember most about STI, his reply was simple. “'! will always be a part of STI and:a piece of STI will always be in me.” aet spotlight Most AET students are not club presidents, fraternity or sorority members, or star C _ athletes. Our successful students are willing to work diligently, are curious enough oY about their field of study to put extra effort into investigation, and exhibit an ee intelligence equal to the tasks set for them. ) of These traits are embodied in Miss Linda L. Kimpel, a sophomore transfer student from the University of Massachusetts. In addition to a high grade point average, ” Miss Kimpel also displays a pleasant disposition which is refreshing to those associated with her. a a ee eee s—e atet spotlight Ken Keene is a junior majoring in Apparel Engineering Technology. He was an honors graduate of Vidalia High School in 1981, where he was editor of the school a newspaper and president of the Key Club. o : AR a At STI, Ken is a co-op student with Oxford Industries in their Holbrook Division plant Mies in Lyons, Georgia. He is currently assigned to their engineering department as ne assistant plant engineer. Ken is an active member of Sigma Nu fraternity and last year was selected as the Southern Tech Apparel Student of the Year by the American Apparel Manufacturers Association. i | cet spotlight Ferrell B. Andrews typifies the Civil Engineering Technology students today at Southern Tech. Ferrell is conscientious in his coursework, illustrated by his very high grade point average; he understands the value of advancing his professional interests outside the classroom, as shown by his active participation in student clubs of both the Associated General Contractors and the Association of Builders and Contractors. Ferrell is enthusiastic in his career pursuits and most cooperative with instructors in completion of class assignments. The CIST Department had chosen Julia Quigley as our ‘Student Spotlight”. Julia has exhibited qualities which the CIST Department holds in high regard. A diligent attitude toward classwork, a pleasant personality and high scholastic standing were the main re asons Julia was chosen. We congratulate Julia for being selected for this honor. iet sootlght Ms. Nancy Marmitt was selected for the IET Student Spotlight not because she is an outstanding student, but because she is a well rounded student and is typical of the IET student body. Nancy has around a 3.0 GPA, is well liked, a member of AIIE participated in the faculty selection board for IET. Nancy was a night student to start with, and later became a day student. Nancy worked at a hospital part time while she was in school and married while she was a student. One descriptive sentence? “She started slow, but matured well.” met spotight The Mechanical Engineering Technology Department is pleased to feature an outstanding student athlete, Lamar R. Knight. Lamar is a senior student in the MET Department with an overall grade point average of 3.6. He is also a three year starter on Southern Tech’s Baseball Team where he plays in the outfield. Last season he was named to the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Allstar Team after hitting .343 for the season. He was also the 1983 recipient of the | ae. Southern Tech Scholar Athlete Award given annually to the intercollegiate athlete with the highest grade point average. Lamar is also a member of the American | Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Student Chapter at Southern Tech. The combination of superior performance in academics and on the athletic field make Lamar unique. ag 0 © S qd) | O) All the greeks came out between the dorms for fun and games during the first week in May.

When we embarked upon this project, only one person of the projected staff, the Assistant Editor, had ever worked on a yearbook staff. By dribbles and drabs, we increased our number of experienced yearbook staffers from one to four. The recruitment of two experienced photographers and the unstinting efforts of the Assistant Editor and her Layout Assistant helped to ensure the viability of the LOG as the annual of our student body. We have all gained experience and knowledge about just how much work goes into a yearbook.- We have gained wisdom in learning to work together without cat and dog'' fights. We have gained pride from seeing the end of a job done well and on time. We now know just where the term deadline'' came from. You begin to think you are going to drop dead from trying to beat it! To these people I offer my special Thanx: BOBBY BLOUNT - I know I worked you to death with a camera, but only because you were so good at it, BEN COWART - he never missed a shot of a good looking girl. LYNNE DOSTER - without your wonderful sales ability, there would not have been enough money to produce this book. RIC DOUGLAS - you helped when you could and I am grateful for your honesty. EDWIN FERNANDEZ - no one was more willing or had a better sense of humor. | LYNN FIELDER - because you were willing to teach us how to do a year- book and for all your work. DENNIS HERNANDEZ - who cleaned up the darkroom when no one else would and still made prints. OSCAR KEMPFT - who got the shots and no one ever knew how. MIKE LOCKLEAR - for all those impossible prints and all the fantastic short cuts. KATHY LYNN - who made the beach party live through her pictures, THE YEARBOOK OF SOUTHERN TECHNICAL INSTITUTE DEBBIE PEREZ — who was always there when I couldn't be. There is and never will be a replacement for you! ANITA PITTS - who showed up in a pinch and stayed. JOAN WALKER —- your little bit here and there added up to a lot more than you thought it would. A very special thank you to: The Student Publications Board Dean Charles Smith - for your faith in our ability and your kind guidance. Sue Konrad - for your forebearance with deadlines. To any and all I am willing to say, THE LOG is alive and doing well! We hope to make the next one even better!!! WILLIAM G.
