ACADEMICS CHANGING TO MEET THE FUTURE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION The Colego of Education, under the continuing direc- tion of Dean Hendrik Gideons©, remained loyal in its attempt to keep current with the changing world of education The college is understandably proud of its Curriculum Resources Center, an instructional facility capable of providing various resources and services via four different laboratory settings. These include Re- source Materials. Production. Media Equipment, Train- ing. and Computer Education. Each offers knowledge in areas that are key in today's educational settings. In addition, field experience, necessary for students' graduation and or certification in various programs, is provided through a cooperative network involving Cincinnati and neighboring school systems, as well as other community settings An outgrowth of the College for Teachers, estabfcshed in 1905. the present College of Education offers under- graduate and graduate degree programs in several areas COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING The College of Engineering has developed to become one of the major academic forces at U.C.. and it has achieved nationwide attention as one of the most respected engineering schools today. It offers several multimillion-dollor laboratories and specialty centers, which include a Sold State Electronics Laboratory, a NASA Computational Fluid Dynamics Training Center, and the recently developed Robotics Research Cen- ter. Additionally, the College is distinguished for its Pro- fessional Practice Program. A requirement for under- graduate students, it helps relate academic studies to vorious work settings Just as well-known to students, however, is the annual National Engineers Week, the airplane construction competition, and the newly added calculator toss. The 1985-86 academic year also saw the announce- ment of Constontine Papadakis as the school's incom- ing Dean. Snce 1874 the College of Engineering has steadily grown in both purpose and organization Presently it offers undergraduate and groduate degrees in more than 15 fields of study ENGJNEERNG 29

I ACADEMICS CHANGING TO MEET THE FUTURE EVENING COLLEGE Evening College, in existence since 1938. oper- ates to serve the educational needs of students in the Greater Cincinnati area. Students of the Evening College attend for various reasons: to earn a degree, associate, baccalaureate or masters, to complement their work skills, or to enrich their cultural or personal interests. One tie they share is their desire to use available time to maximize the advantage of part-time studies. The faculty of the Evening College are a reservoir of professionals from local businesses, the industri- al community, social service agencies, and other institutions. This important blend of knowledge and practice adequately serves over 10.000 stu- dents each year. COLLEGE OF LAW The College of Law. founded in 1833. is the fourth oldest continually operating law school in the country. Its length of existence is due to the sound legal education obtained from the col- lege. which includes communication and applied skills as well as an understanding of human prob- lems. Despite extensive renovation of the College of Law in 1983. the student body will never increase above 400 students. This is because the student- faculty ratio of 15 to 1 has been deemed as mandatory. The College of Law's future includes continued training of competent lawyers who preserve the law's heritage in society. 30 EVENING COLLEGE ion W«l
