Dr. Charles V. Jakowatz Dean of Engineering 19,800 grant aids engineering programs The School of Engineering, under the direction of Dean Charles V. Jakowatz, realized many out- standing achievements during 1966. Of main im- portance was the completion of a gas dynamics lab- oratory, which afforded the department of aeron- autical engineering an exceptionally Hne facility for experiments in supersonic flow. Also during the year, the School was awarded a National Science Foundation Institutional Equip- ment Grant of 319,800 This matching grantu spawned substantial additional funds, thus enabling the School to procure much needed laboratory items to further enhance its programs of instruction and research. Beginning with the fall semester, formal courses in digital and analog computers were made re- quired parts of the engineering Hcorei' program as the School of Engineering, in its traditional spirit, kept pace with the developments ofthe times. Adjustments to the new Athena Univac Guidance Computer are made by Mr. Springer while a student feeds in information.

Professor Ray Norris named ccBest Teacher The School of Engineering was ,justifiably proud of a great mark of distinction bestowed upon it dur- ing 1966 as Professor Roy Norris, assistant profes- sor of electrical engineering, received the Board of Trustees 151,000 Best Teacher Award. The School also received an Athena Guidance Computer. This large-scale computer, well suited to the Schoolis educational needs, was acquired princi- pally through the efforts of student assistants and faculty. These represented the continuing progress of the School toward an ever-improving system of research facilities, as well as a comprehensive program of instruction in the fundamental principles of engi- neering. The School persists in being a center of ac- tive learning as students prepare themselves in speacialized fields.
