Tech Petroleum Engineering Growth Signals Southwest Lead
The Texas Tech petroleum engineering department, under Prof. William L. Ducker, has rapidly expanded since Jan. 1, 1948. A new one story building housing classrooms and labs, equipment upgrades worth $5,700, and $20,000 in instruments have boosted capacity. A strong library, new dual degree option with mechanical engineering, and active student participation in the American Society of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers position the program among the top U S southwest schools with accreditation plans in sight.
