Dual Engineering Program
Greensboro—The academic
deans of Bennett College and
North Carolina A & Τ State
University signed an agree
ment implementing a dual
degree program in engineer
ing for women.
The program is the result of
a year's feasibility study un
dertaken by seperate commit
tees on both campus Based on
findings compiled by Dr. Regi
nald Mitchiner, coordinator of
the A&T Study Committee,
and the interest ot faculty and
students at Bennett, the com
mittees constructed a curricu
lum patterned, after existing
programs at other compara7"
ble institutions Dr. J. Henry
Sayles chaired the Bennett
committee.
"Both institutions are con
erned with the small percen
ige of women and minorities
in the fields of engineering,"
stated Dr. Chelsea O. Tipton.
Dean of the College and Ben
nett.
'Dr. G. F. Kankin. Vice
Chancellor for Academic Af
fairs at A & T. said the new
program has the potential to
also attract supportive funds
and assistance from corpora
tions in the engineering field
seeking to attract Women.

minorities.
Students seeking the de
grees will study four years at
Bennett and then transfer for
the final year to A & T. In
some cases, the young women
may spend more than a year
m the School of Engineering
Having successfully complet
ed requirements at both insti
tutions. they will receive the
Bachelor of Science degree
from Bennett and the Bache
lor of Engineering degree
from A & T.
"The dual degree program
provides a unique learning
experience" for young wo
men," said Dr. Tipton.
"They are allowed to be part
of a liberal arts experience
and a professional one at two
different types of institutions
Their career options are more
iried. meaning they are
more flexible when seeking to
enter the job market."
The School of Engineering
at North Carolina A & Τ State
University grants the Engi
neer's Council for Profession
al Development accredited
Bachelor of Science degrees in
architectural, electrical and
mechanical engineering De
grees are also offered in engi
neering mathematics and en
gineering physics in coopera
tion with the departments of
Mathematics and Physics.
Dr.. Tipton added that a
faculty person at Bennett will
be appointed to recruit and
advise students in the pro
gram A & Τ will provide
extensive counseling to help
each young woman reach ma
ximum success in the engi
neering curriculum.
