ENGINEERING SCHOOL The Board of Trustees April 12 approved IS RENAMED HERE	a change in the name of the School of
Engineering, the dropping of one academic department and the merger of several others. In announcing the changes, President Stanford said the action of the Board followed recommendations of the Faculty Senate and the deans and departments concerned.
Effective immediately, the School of Engineering is renamed the School of Engineering and Environmental Design, to reflect the increased emphasis on programs in architecture and engineering as related to the total environment.
Effective June 1, industrial education will be discontinued as a program leading to a teaching major in the School of Education. Dropping of the department is due to lack of enrollment, the extensive space required for laboratories and equipment housed in "temporary” wooden buildings and the imperative need for a new building were the program to be continued. Some 30 of nearly 2,000 education students major in the program which graduates only 10 or 12 students each year, Dr. Stanford said. The University, he added, delayed discontinuing the program until Florida International University, which is scheduled to offer industrial education, opens in September.
Departmental mergers, also effective June 1, will be as follows:
*	The department of industrial engineering and systems analysis will merge its programs in systems analysis with the department of business decision science in the School of Business Administration, and its programs in industrial engineering will merge with the department of mechanical engineering.
*	Courses in engineering graphics will also be included in the programs of the department of mechanical engineering.
*	Classes formerly in the departments of human relations and social sciences will be under the department of anthropology.
The departmental mergers reflect new trends in curricular programming, Dr. Stanford said, as universities seek to provide more relevant and more effective programs for their students.
Dr. Stanford also noted that the Report of the Commission on Academic Goals was the stimulus for many of the changes.
