work in this area. Since 19SS, some forty-eight students have received Master of Science degrees in mechanical engineering with emphasis on an area of study that is ordinarily classified as industrial engineering. Programs similar to the one proposed here are in effect at many universities. At least seventeen of these offer a Doctor of Philosophy degree in industrial engineering. The degree program also has been approved by the Policy and Development Committee of the College of Engineering and the Urbana-Champaign Senate. The Senate Coordinating Council has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval subject to further action by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved.
