EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Engineers are getting prettier. Barbara Beckmann was the first woman to receive a chemical engineering degree from the University of Mississippi in 1961. Today Mrs. Beckmann is in the operations research group at Humble's refinery in Baton Rouge, La. Her job: to assist colleague engineers in the use of all computer programs relating to process engineering and mechanical engineering calculations. Women in technical fields are becoming less of a rarity, thanks in part to the efforts of such organizations as the Society of Women Engineers. For that story, see pp 10-11.
