Statement about Service (10/19/1989)

The small size of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the College of Engineering at its inception has required considerable effort on services by each faculty member. I have played a significant part in that, since I recognize the need for such services both inside and outside the University.

I have upgraded our departmental MicroVAX I to a MicroVAX II, installed all software on our second MicroVAX II, and provided for our word processing and graphics capabilities.
