Technology Division Program combines art with technology Students who have both technological knowhow and artistic ability can combine their skills in the new twoyear Creative Technology program at Sheridan Offered as an elective In the General Arts and Science Program in Brampton starting in September it will provide students with a wider scope of courses and a better chance for versatility than has been possible before And there is still opportunity for directed specialization Students design their own program beginning with e basic subject areas contemporary science design computations English and media studies drawing and illustration and creative product They choose a specialized studio area from one of the following glass painting ceramics landscape ar chitecture sound systems and acoustics model building home decorating and renovations creative and ornamental design Depending on their area of specialization graduates may find employment in any of the areas- indicated Some may pursue careers in sound systems others in landscape architecture others in model building others In product design and development or In technical illustration Some people may wish to begin their own business or do freelance work as a result of what they learn others may consider this program preparation for other post secondary programs including more Creative Technology will also of course be of interest to hobbyists enthusiasts and many others who wish to pursue their creative interests on either a full time part time basis with or without employment as their goal QUICK QUIZ 1 A

Students tailor program to suit needs General Trcluwlogy will be offered through Sheridans Continuing Education Division starting September 1973 Year level program of study will be fairly standard involving courses in mechanical electronic chemical and computer studies technology At the second and third year levels the only required courses will be mathematics and English Students may choose courses to suit their own needs and interests from those offered within any of the above areas of technology Students will be able to tailor interdisciplinary wishes to eater the new and digital camp

bands between and metres and on several frequencies Last year Sheridan Invited students and staff from local secondary schools Join the Ham Station campus activities It Is expected that this Interest will grow to include both licenced and nonlicenced visitors who wilt share test facilities in the Electronics Division of the college would especially like to pros pective amateur radio operators prepare for the written government amateur licence examination Anyone Interested In learning more about the ham radio activities la to call Don Browning co ordinator of electronics the Brampton Campus 7SW or Industry is people This fall the Technology Division of Sheridan College will offer a program based mainly on practical work The twoyear Mechanical Technician program available at the Brampton Campus is for the person who requires less mathematical skill and more em phasis on handon training in practical application or principles in the laboratory and development of test procedures The program concentrates on production operations quality control Jig and tool design mechanical testing and plant maintenance areas where the need for mechanical technicians appears to be greatest A graduate may find employment as a quality control technician maintenance technician technical representative or as a design assistant According to a recent the demand for such graduates is high in the home counties of Halton and Peel Call the Brampton campus at for more details Its still a still A huge mash is what students want to distill In Sheridans 72litre distillation unit But the still is used for more worthwhile academic purposes This distillation unit is part of Sheridans chemical unit operations laboratory which consists of a number of small scale replicas of fullscale indus trial units Design data and other process information are obtained using this type of equipment In order to predict how a full scale chemical process will function one must have available laboratory or pilot plant data The chemical unit operations lab at Sheridan litre unit a plate and frame niter press a liquidliquid extraction unit a gas absorption unit a plastics injection moulder and a unit for studying liquid agitation In addition students conduct experiments on beat transfer and fluid flow equipment The unit operations equipment can be used for a variety of practical ap plications For example the gas absorber can be used to test bow effectively sulphur dioxide a troublesome air pollutant can be from an air stream usink water This year students in the chemical technician and chemical be working on this New policy for admission to professional engineering The Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of Ontario conducts an annual examination program to enable those whose academic qualifications fall short of the requirements for registration to meet these requirements Admission to the examination program prior to January l 1973 has been granted to persons with qualifications which would at least admit them Into first year of a fouryear engineering course at an Ontario university 1 senior matriculation or Its academic equivalent Because of the expansion of provincial system of colleges and universities the Council of the Association has decided that after January 11973 the minimum requirement for admission to the prc- examination program will be a diploma from a threeyear engineering technology program following Grade or certification as an engineering technologist by the Ontario Association of Certified Technicians and Technologists or Engineering equivalent It is now planned that after the 1975 examination session applicants will be required to demonstrate that they nave covered the material of the group of examinations comprised by the Engineering Fundamentals in the Uniform Examination Syllabus to the satisfaction of the Council of the Association before they will be allowed to proceed to the professional or practice examinations Starting in 1976 examinations In the Engineering Fundamentals group will no longer be provided by the association Professional or practice examination requirements must be met within a period of five consecutive academic years including that academic year in which the applicant is first permitted to write the professional or practice examinations An academic year extends from Sept to June 30 13 Sheridan now working in operation or oust plant Jots
