Professor Schutz Returns CIVIL ENGINEERING PROFESSOR Dr. Fred-
erick W. Schutz, Jr. has returned to the campus after taking part in the "Year-inIndustry" program sponsored by the E. I. duPont de Nemours Co. in Wilmington, Del. During his year with DuPont, Professor Schutz expanded his knowledge of the use of electronic computers in the solution of structural engineering problems. In addition, he became more familiar with the training required of young engineers so that they can readily adjust themselves to computer usage. He said he was leaving DuPont with a new image of the construction industry. Schutz joined the Tech staff in 1955 and was named a full professor in 1958.

The award was made for their joint research paper on "The Discharge Characteristics of Rectangular, Thin-plate Weirs," published in 1959 in the Transactions of the ASCE.
