By PHILIP SUTIN
As part of a program of en-
couraging the use of computers in
engineering education Silvano Na-
varro, assistant director of com-
puter education projects of the
Committee on Computers in Un-
dergraduate Education, will pre-
sent a series of lectures Feb. 14,
21, 28 in the Natural Science Aud.
On leave from the University
of Kentucky, Navarro will speak
on the teaching of the arrange-
ment of methods to solve prob-
lems on digital computers.
The committee sponsoring the
lectures was established in 1958
and received a $900,000 grant in
Oct. 1959 from the Ford Founda-
tion to teach engineering students
and faculty how to use computers
in solving problems.
"The committee's aim is to as-
sist and accelerate the use of
computers in the educational
process," Chairman Prof. Donald
Katz explained.
Trains Professors
In conjunction with the Univer-
sity's Computing Center, the com-
mittee this year is teaching nine
professors from other universities
and colleges as well as 15 members
of the University faculty how to
use computers in class work.
Prof. R. C. Bartels, director of
the Computing Center, noted that
students in 49 courses used com-
puters to solve problems during
the spring semester of last year.
In addition to the machines of
the University's computing center,
the committee has several smaller
computers, the Royal McBee LGP-
30 and the Bendix G-15, and eight
analog computers which electron-
ically simulate equations to solve
problems.
Publish Primer
In September the committee is-
sued a primer explaining the work-
ings of computers and their use
in educational situations. In ad-
dition to the explanation, 45 prac-
tice problems are presented in the
text, Katz said.
IQC To, Elect
New Officers
The Inter-Quadrangle Council
will elect a new slate of officers
at its first meeting of the second
semester on Feb. 15
The election was put a month
ahead of the normal time by the
council at its Jan. 12 meeting so
that the changeover of leadership
for next year will be more effi-
cient.
Each of the 24 houses in the or-
ganization has a vote in the elec-
tion, which chooses the three of-
ficers as a group rather than in-
dividually under a revised con-
stitution which was adopted last
year.

Using the analog computers,
Robert Timm, Grad, is establish-
ing a similar teaching program
for members of the engineering
mechanics, marine engineering,
and mechanical engineering de-
partments.
The committee is composed of
11 members representing the de-
partment of the engineering col-
lege and a member each from the
Computing Center and the mathe-
matics department.
The committee plans to com-
plete its work in early 1962, Katz
said.
