WHATS NEWS IN THE UNIVERSITY THE FUTURE IN ENGINEERING Job prospects for qualified engineers are very good these days, says Dr. Nunzio J. Palladino, dean of the College of Engineering at Penn State. Dean Palladino points to a new report from the Industrial Research Institute, Engineering Manpower Commission of the Engi- neers Joint Council, and the Scientific Manpower Commission which says that industrial research organizations are hiring more engineers and scientists. : The U. S. Department of Labor has predicted a deficit of engi- neers in the late 1970's citing areas of weakness in the availability of experienced people with project leadership and management ability, both inside and outside research laboratories. A shortage of engineers exists, why? Earnest Weidhaas, assistant dean for Commonwealth Campuses in the College of Engineering, at- tributes this to the “scare” of the late 1960's, when thousands of engi- neers found themselves unemployed due to the cutback in defense funding. It was then that many parents and guidance counselors told students that engineering was a “dead end.” An untapped source of engineers is women. Although female enrollments in engineering programs are slowly increasing, only one per cent of the engineering profession is female. Female engineers are re- Solving the same starting salaries as their male counterparts. ne survey shows that by 1975, there won’t be enough appli- cants to fill all the technical positions that will be open. y FOOTBALL GUIDE Penn State’s football press guide, a 104-page book of facts and figures about the 1973 Nittany Lions, is now available. A limited num- ber of the guides are on sale for $2 each at the ticket office, 237 Recre- ation Building, University Park, Pa. 16802. Add 50 cents for mailing costs. The 1973 brochure includes biographical information on players and coaches, facts on 1973 opponents, future schedules, past records and resuits, a list of all-time lettermen, rosters and other information about Penn State football. : HOW TO EARN UNIVERSITY CREDIT A special subcommittee has been established in the University Faculty Senate to work on the “standardization of the many ways in which persons may earn Pennsylvania State University credits.” The subcommittee is charged with re-examining Senate policies on such present methods of earning credits as College Level Examina- tion Program, Advanced Standing, Credit by Examination, Advanced Placement Program, Continuing Education courses, Transfer Credits and Independent Study by Correspondence. It will also formulate policies for other methods, including United States Armed Forces Institute and military service schools courses, and will consider student mobility from Associate degree to baccalaureate degree status. : INTERNING AS A FARMER Agricultural economics and agricultural business management students are getting a chance to confirm or change their career choices thanks to a new internship program developed at University Park. Students are given the option of spending a ten-week term in their junior year working in cooperating agricultural processing firms,’ at public and private agencies, or in farm supply stores and equipment companies. Several students in the program accepted permanent jobs with the firms where they interned after graduation last spring. Even those not completely satisfied with their internship work experience agreed it was valuable. One junior, for example, had decided on a career in research and accepted a job with a private research firm. Although he found the experience interesting, he also discovered that he did not like being desk-bound and on returning to school, adjusted his curriculum to a more action-oriented program.
