NEW CURRICULUM OFFERED A new curriculum in Systems
IN SYSTEMS ANALYSIS 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 problemsolving — 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 Because of his interest in CIVIL ENGINEERING ENDOWMENT conservation of natural resources, a Miami businessman has established an endowment for the civil engineering department at the UM.
Income from the endowment by Stanley Glaser, president of Sea-coast Appliance Distributors, Inc., will be used to make an annual award to encourage undergraduate engineering projects and papers 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 Board, a member of the Society of University Founders, and was a volunteer consultant during the study project for development of the Center for Urban Affairs.
