SMILES, WITHOUT COACHING
Pleased smiles were genuine all around as officials of UNC-A and N.C. State talked about their
new joint engineering program at Asheville. Left to right are Dr. Carl Zorowski, associate dean of the
School of Engineering at N.C. State, Richard McCormack, new director of the Asheville program,
Duncan Hunter of Western Carolina Industries, and Chancellor Bill Highsmith.
Look Out, G. Tech!
pressed need for more easily accessi
ble courses in Western North Carolina
leading to an engineering degree.
Besides the convenience of taking
their studies close to home, the other
great advantage, said McCormack, is
economic.
“It can drastically reduce a student's
expenses," he said, "especially if they
attend the university at Asheville v^hile
working at a regular job in this area.
They can make a commitment to an
engineering degree program without
the financial commitment of going
away to State or the University of Ten
nessee or some other distant school at
the beginning."
Students enrolled in the program,
said McCormack, will be students of
the School of Engineering just as much
as if they were on the Raleigh campus.
Provided they maintained the regular
required level, students would transfer
to the School of Engineering with full
credit after finishing their freshman
and sophomore years in Asheville.
They are expected to be prepared.

by that time, to move into any of the
numerous engineering specialties
taught at State, which ranks among the
leading engineering schools in the na
tion.
Officials who have set up the pro
gram are expecting to draw upon the
good experiences provided by another
program established across North
Carolina last year by the School of
Engineering.
A "cooperative" program with in
dustrial employers made it possible for
employes to attend classes taught
locally by N.C. State faculty for credit
toward a master's degree in engineer
ing.
McCormack feels sure the same kind
of cooperation can provide opportuni
ty for promising employes to work
toward the bachelor's degree.
UNC-A Chancellor William
Highsmith hopes that success of the
new "2 plus 2" program - two years at
each end of the state - will make a
future "3 plus 1" system possible at
UNC-A.
