A $65,000 electronic computerj
capable of adding numbers in 70
millionths of a second is being
designed and constructed by stu-2
dents in electrical engineering.
MIC, Michigan Instructionalr
Computer, was begun in 1954 and
is expected to be completed this
spring. Many of the basic units
were designed by the students and
purchased from manufacturers,
while others were planned and
built on the scene. All the com-
ponents have been linked together
by students.
Prof. Norman Scott of the engi-
neering department pointed' out,
"computers generally are pur-
chased, rented or built to solve
scientific and engineering prob-
lems on a tight schedule, and can
seldom be shut ' down and dis-
mantled to show students how they
work.
"MIC, however, will be apart
more time than it will be in opera-
tion. Students will be continually
dismantling it to modify compon-
ents, add new units, rearrange old

ones and test new theories. In a'
sense, this computer will never be
really completed."
MIC is a digital computer, orf
one in which electrical pulses are
used to represent numbers, and
will be able to add two, 10-digit
numbers in 70 millionths of a sec-
ond, multiply them in 1050 mil-
lionths and divide them in 1120
millionths.
