These programs are designed to develop the student ' s abilities to enable him to enter into and advance with the profession of engineering, and to lead a useful and happy life in his community. These curriculum plans include as their main core the fundamentals of engineering science and • the basic materials related thereto, but in addition they include subjects from the social and hu¬ manistic sciences. Thus, not only will the A AA engineering graduate be technically trained, but also humanly and socially educated. In order to qualify for a Bachelor of Science degree in the student ' s chosen field, he must complete satisfactorily a minimum of four years of comprehensive study in mathematics and sci¬ ences. In addition to theory, practice work and problem courses are provided in order to better acquaint the student with application of his knowledge. Texas A AA does not turn out men trained solely in mechanical manipulative skills. With the exception of industrial education, all curricula are planned to provicTe preparation for research, design, operation, management, testing, or maintenance of engineering projects. Various four-year curricula are available and each leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. They include the fields of aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, geological, mechanical, nuclear, and pe¬ troleum engineering. Also included are those of geology, geophysics, industrial education and in¬ dustrial engineering. Those which involve five-year curricula are architecture and petroleum en¬ gineering, also various combined degrees. Within all its areas, the Texas A AA School of Engineer¬ ing will continue to lead in the new era of technology that is our nation ' s destiny. Students are trying to find the amount of radiation given off by a piece of metal for a lab problem in Nuclear Engineering. Another one of the departments in engineering which will be fast growing in the near future.

Providing complete training in all phases of animal pathology, care and surgery, the school offers the student a B.S. degree in Animal Science in four years or the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree after completion of a six-year program. Various departments within the school are: veterinary anatomy, veterinary medicine and surgery, veterinary microbiology, veter¬ inary parasitology, veterinary pathology, veterinary physiology and pharmacology, and veterinary public health. The Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery operates the Veterinary Hospital and Ambulatory Clinic. Problems in theory are extensively supplemented with practical application. Consequently, the A M Veterinary graduate is well qualified to deal with problems of disease and disease prevention in domestic farm animals, poultry, pet animals, zoo animals, fur¬ bearing animals, and wildlife of all kinds. Graduates are also qual¬ ified to combat transmission of disease between man and the lower animals. Instruction and training are given in meat and milk hygiene. Texas A M ' s School of Veterinary Medicine is accredited by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Associ¬ ation and by the United States Department of Agriculture.
