| Transcript | Working overtime in the electronics lab, Ricardo Paz measures vapor pressure using the alnor dew point analyser while Paul Maund plots data points, far left. Mike Hauser gets instructions for set ting up a cylinder tester from Osman Stotts, center. The machine measures the strength of concrete cylinders as it crushes them. College of Technology Is First in Texas To Offer With the establishment of a four year program last year, the University of Houston College of Technology became the first and only school in Texas to offer a baccalaureate degree in this field, rather than a two year associate degree. One of the college's major programs is providing its graduates with working experience in foreign countries. While continuing this service to underdeveloped nations, Dean Hugh McCal- lick feels that "students are oriented toward concrete projects rather than abstract contemplations." Pointing up the success of the UH program, the Agency of International Development gave the university an additional grant last year to work in Gua- tamala as well as Costa Rico, Brazil and Ecuador. This not only provides an opportunity for UH graduates to establish foreign programs, but forces the faculty to keep abreast of the latest developments in industry. In addition, the installment of a digital computer last year greatly aided teachers and students in problem solving and furthering knowledge of design and repair. 336 337 |
