The Catholic University of America has organized a new Department of Space Science and Applied Physics offering courses leading to the master's and doctor's degrees in space science, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, aerospace engineering, and applied physics. The Department's aim is to educate the “engineer‐scientist”, and its program will balance instruction in science with training in the skills of experimentation and inventive technology. Research in the Department includes work on plasma behavior in geophysics and space physics, basic problems of blood flow and non‐Newtonian fluid mechanics, and radiation heat transfer. Fellowships and scholarships are available. Further information can be obtained from Dr. C. C. Chang, Department of Space Science and Applied Physics, The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. 20017.
