A&T STATE (Continued from page 2) reasing support for national engineering id technical endeavors. It will also be a Don for the professional development of professors, researchers and students id assist us as we continue seeking uthorization to offer doctoral degrees in ngineering.” The NASA award comes less than a onth after A&T was designated by the istorically Black Research University oundation for Science and Technology as a esearch University and just a week after a earn of consultants to President C.D. pangler and the Board of Governors, ^commended that A&T be allowed to plan nd implement Ph.D. program in electrical nd mechanical engineering. If the ecommendation is accepted by the Board, V&T would become the first historically >lack state university in North Carolina to )e authorized to offer a doctoral degree. We have a proven track record in ngineering, teaching and research” said Dr. Harold L. Martin, dean of A&T’s School f Engineering, who will direct the NASA program. “The contributions of our outstanding faculty will have a significant mpact on the space program, as we seek to assist NACA and industry in meeting the nation's space goals.” Martin said A&T’s initial aerospace research will be related to areas of particular interest to NASA. “We consider ihe next great challenge in space engineering research to be the exploration the planets and space platform technologies,” said Martin. “This will provide the focus for research at A&T’s center. It will be helpful in attracting students, particularly minority students, who can meet the demands in the aerospace ndustry.” He pointed out that A&T is already operating a NASA-funded $8.4 million joint Mars Mission Research Center with North Carolina State University.
