Alpha Kappa Gamma and Omi Mechanicai Master's De Courses to be offered next fall when the University of South Carolina initiates a master's degree program in mechanical engineering will be in the areas of gas dynamics, heat transfer and applied mechan ics, Dr. E. C. Woodward, Jr. said recently. Dr. Woodward, head of the De piartment of Mechanical Engineer ing in the School of Engineering, said master of science and master of engineering degrees may be earned through graduate work in the de partment. Requirements for the master's degree include not less than six senm ester hours of advanced mathema ties~ 12 of advanced mechanical ek9 neering courses, and six of re lated elective subject matter. Conm p,letion of an experimental or theo ret ical thesis is also required. T1he mechanical engineering gradl utate program wvill normally require a full year of study beyond the bachelor's dlegree. Mechanical Engineering stu dents and pre-mechanical engi neering students are requested t&m a k e appointments for counseling on March 13, 14, 15. All students are asked to call 536 or come by the office of the D)ean of the School of Engi neering to make application. A broad research program will suppllement the formal studies, Dr. Wood ward said. Supported research now includes investigations in lubri cation, metallurgy and material - properties, and combustion kinetics. D)r. Woodward said persons earn - ing the master's degree "would find themselves very wvell prepared for careers in space technology, new p)ower generation systems such as fuel cells and plasma generators, the b)road field of heat and mass tra nsfer, air breathing propulsion systems and materials technology." lie saidl the graduate program will also permit students to conduct basic and app)lied research and development in the research areas. Additional information concern ing the master's degree program may be obtained by writing to Dr. E. C. Woodwvard, head, Department of Mechanical Engineering.
