,5 School of Social Work In 1982 the School of Social Work was established as an independent unit within the university. It has originally been a school in the now dissolved College of Community Servicest The SchoolsT graduate and undergraduate programs have been fully accredited by the Council on Socml Work Education. Accreditation enabled graduates to be eligible for membership in professional organizations and for undergraduates to gain advanced standing upon entry into a graduate level program. The undergraduate program was designed to prepare students for positions as social work practitioners involving direct contact with clients. Students entered the program at a junior year level after completing two years of Liberal Arts training The two years of study under the School of Social Work involved classroom exercises as well as field experience from a variety of agencies in the Cincinnati area. The undergraduate level focused on a generalist preparation while graduate level students specialized in particular areas of interest. In order for the graduates to provide a range of services to a diverse population, the school promoted an understanding of the ethical requirements of social work, and an appreciation of the differences in social systems. a Dr. Sheldon Siegel is director at the new college Working with children is a portion of social work training Students are trained to deal with the diversi- ty of individuals within society. Field study at local hospitals lets students become familiar with working with patients. Care for the elderly has become a strong social concern for which students prepare. Academics 25

College of Applied The College of Applied Science offered programs in the engineering technologies and related areas which prepared individuals to become engineering technicians, engineering technologists and construction managers. Engineering technicians were graduates of two year programs and hold associate degrees. Their interest was directed more toward practical than theoretical applications of engineering. Engineering technologists and construction managers were graduates of baccaEaureate degree programs in technology. Their education was theoretical but emphasized the Hhands-on't aspects of the technology. During the 198132 school year, the College of Applied Science expanded the use of microcomputers in most of its departmentst The Chemical Technology Department added microcomputer based program- ming. computer-assisted instruction, laboratory date reduction, and instrumentation interfacing to the curriculum, These changes reflected the effects of the computer revolution in industrial laboratories where computer applications were often extensions of the hands and minds of laboratory technicians. The Mechanical Engineering Technology Department was using the micro-bot robot in a new course devoted to hands-on robot programming, Students use a microcomputer interfaced with a robot which performs routine picking and placing tasks. .3 John C Spillet working in hlS office of the Dean of OMI College of Applied sctence.
