Have you ever wondered why they're always locked; at least until you peered out the window and determined that the first step was just a little long? Well, don't worry, it's all in the "Master Plan." Fred Kendell, Campus Plan ning, said, included in the campus master plan, date unknown, is a proposed ramp leading from the second floor over the sidewalk, toward the Education Building. Experience: An Introduction to Education through Literature, and Exceptional Children through Literature. Landau is also the author of the following books, Just a Minute, You and Your Child's World, Raising Fine Families, Today's Family and Talking with Children. The problem, he said, is money. There is no scheduled date to complete the ramp planned for originally and, until materials and dollars are collected, it will remain unfinished.. So, until that faraway date, leave the doors locked and take the long way down. Elliot Landau Auto tech benefits employees by Amber Dalley Within the School of Technology is contained a department that offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Automotive Engineering Technology, an Associate of Applied Science degree in Automotive Service, Auto Body, and Diesel Technology, and various certificates for shorter programs. Automotive Engineering Technology can benefit employees in the automotive field who want to enhance their education and-or increase their promotion potential, men and women who would like to do maintenance on their own car, and those people who have not settled on a career but are interested in the automotive field. It can take from one to four years to earn the certificates, diplomas, and degrees. This department has had great success with student placement after graduation.

It might surprise you, but Hughes doesn't make aircraft. What we do has been expressed nicely by our Chairman of the Board, Dr. Allen E. Puckett: "We're involved in a wide range of communications technologies, making sensors that operate on all parts of the electronic spectrum, and computers and signal processors that issue commands or store and present data. In the midst of the dramatic electronic information explosion, Hughes is putting data sensing, communications and data processing advances to work for people like you and me." If you're an EE, ME, AE, IE, Physics, Material Science or Computer Science major, you could become part of this exciting and challenging commitment. You could become involved in aerospace, ground systems, industrial electronics, space and communications and research. And don't worry about getting lost - at Hughes, we work in small groups where individual initiative is valued highly. Hughes - for all the right reasons.
