Show BYU Symposium Draws Scientists Three engineers connected with Hercules Powder Company's Bacchus works will present papers pa-pers in the third annual Brigham Young University Engineering Symposium April 21. M. Westley Cox, a senior development de-velopment engineer in the Reliability Re-liability Group, will report on "Computerization of Reliability Reports." His report presents a mechanized system to provide summaries requiring computation computa-tion of failure, inspection and test data. Dr. L. K. Baxter, professor of mechanical engineering at BYU and a consultant to Hercules, will report on "Review of High Temperature Materials." His report covers recent progress pro-gress in the development of special spe-cial materials to withstand temperatures tem-peratures in excess of 5000 degrees, de-grees, with specific applications to rocket engines. Donald A. Kugath, an instructor instruc-tor of mechanical engineering at BYU and a part time employee of Hercules, will present a paper on "A Survey of Modern Kinematics." Kine-matics." His paper will present techniques tech-niques not found in the usual American college courses illustrated illus-trated by simple examples. Other presentations will be made by such outstanding individuals indi-viduals as Dr. Henry Eyring of the American Chemical Society, Sen. Wallace F. Bennett and Dr. J. C. Fletcher, president, and chairman of the board, Space-General Space-General Corp., Azusa, Calif. The symposium is sponsored by the engineering departments of BYU in conjunction with the special courses and conferences division. Financial support for the symposium sym-posium comes mainly from contributions con-tributions by local concerns. t It is intended to provide increased in-creased learnings of theory and recent practical developments for practicing engineers in the state. Engineers from throughout through-out the state will assemble to hear the technical presentations on such subjects as missile technology, tech-nology, electronics, water conservation con-servation and mechanism design. de-sign. A total of 24 presentations will be made with participants com-ing com-ing from three universities, eight industrial, one federal and two state organizations. |
