NEW CURRICULUM OFFERED
IN SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
A new curriculum in Systems
Analysis is being offered by the
UM School of Engineering. Administered by the Department of Industrial Engineering and Systems
Analysis, it leads to the Bachelor of Science degree.
The new curriculum and modification of the department title from
Department of Industrial Engineering was announced by President
Stanford following approval by the Board of Trustees.
Dr. Joseph J. Moder, department chairman, said the new curriculum represents a dramatic shift in engineering education to prepare
the student to take a more active role in the solution of pressing urban
socio-economic problems as well as business and industrial problems.
Systems analysis, he said, may be thought of as applied problem-
solving — from the inception of the problem to the implementation of
a solution to the problem. Students will utilize the new IBM 360/Mod
65 'third generation' computer system to be installed in March in the
Computing Center.
MIAMI BUSINESSMAN ESTABLISHES

concerned with preserving and improving man's environment and the
quality of living and conservation of natural resources.
Mr. Glaser is a director of the University of Miami Citizens
