1. THE INSTITUTE FOR AEROSPACE STUDIES

The University of Toronto has been associated with

aero-nautics from its very beginnings. The first flight by a Canadian (1908) and

the first flight in Canada (1909) were both made by graduates of this uni-versity. The first aerodynamics laboratory in Canada was established

here in 1918 and the first course in aeronautical engineering in 1928.

Thirty years of aeronautical activity in the university culminated in 1949

with the founding of the Institute of Aerophysics. Dr. Gordon N. Patterson,

a scientist of international reputation who had recently joined the Toronto

staff, initiated the idea of the Institute and was instrumental in securing its

establishment. He became its first director, a position which he still holds.

The Institute soon acquired an outstanding staff of specialists in the

4\ero-space Engineering Sciences, and a student body of high calibre. lts staff

and graduates have made many important contributions, and have achieved international recognition.

Organizationally, the Institute is a division of the Faculty

of Applied Science and Engineering. lts staff constitutes a teaching

de-partment within the Faculty at the undergraduate level, and at the same

time, forms the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences of the School of Graduate Studies. At the graduate level research is the keynote

of the Institute's activities. Each Ph. D. student and most M. A. Sc. students

carry out original research for their theses. The individual research pro-jects are parts of an integrated pattern of research within the field of

inter-est of the research supervisor. The research not only supplies the material

for theses, but by virtue of its intrinsic value, attracts to the Institute funds for its support which permit the employment of students as research

assistants. This financial support is a key factor in the successful opera-Hon of the Institute as a Graduate School.

The Institute of Aerophysics has this year completed over a decade of progress in teaching and research. In order to keep pace with modern developments and the need and extent of advanced education, its horizons have been enlarged. To give expression to this new outlook, its name has been changed to the Institute for Aerospace Studies.

4. DEGREE PROGRAMS IN THE AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

SCIENCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

. A five year program of study has been designed to prepare

students for a career in Aerospace Engineering. The first four years are at the undergraduate level and provide the requisite training in the funda-mental and engineering sciences. The fifth year provides more specialized training at the graduate level. The staff of the Institute for Aerospace Studies undertakes the teaching of the specialized topics related to Aero-space Engineering at both levels.

Suitably qualified students in engineering, mathematics, or science who have done their undergraduate work at another University, or in another course at the University of Toronto, may enter the program at

the graduate level (see (ii) below).

(i) Undergraduate (B. A. Sc. ) Course - The student enrolls in the

Engineer-ing Science course of the Faculty of Applied Science and EngineerEngineer-ing and at

the third year elects the Aerospace option (5a) of that course. The subjects

taken in the final two years of this option are: Third Year

Advanced Mechanics* Differential Equations Electronics

Physics Laboratory

Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory Theory of Functions

Mechanies of Solids and Structures* Fluid Mechanics*

Physical Metallurgy Modern World History

Fourth Year

Aerodynamies*

Atomie Physics

Engineering Design*

Mechanics of Solids and Structures*

Plasmadynamics*

Differential Equations of

Mathematical Physics Gasdynamics* Transport Phenomena~: English Philosophy of Science Thesis

Lecture and laboratory instruction during the four undergraduate

years are given mainly at the University campus. During the two final (option)

years, the Drafting/Design room and the Fluid Mechanics laboratory in the

Galbraith Building serve as "headquarters" for students in this option.

Occasionally, fourth year laboratory classes are given at the Institute for Aerospace Studies in order to take advantage of the specialized experimental equipment available there.

On the successful completion of the four year course the student

receives the degree of B. A. Sc. in Engineering Science.

*

Courses given by the UTIAS staff.

(26)

(ii) M. A. Sc. Course - The student continues his five year program of

studies at the Institute for Aerospace" Studies by enrolling in the Department

of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, School of Graduate Studies, as a

candi-date for the degree of M. A. Sc. in Aerospace Engineering. In this final year

of the five-year program the student is normally required to complete a thesis based on research or development, and to take at least two courses

selected from those listed below. Additional courses offered outside the

department mayalso be taken subject to the approval of the departments con

-cerned. Alternatively, a student may elect to substitute a combination of lectures and a design project for a research thesis. (In this case, the

stu-dent is not eligible for a UTIAS research assistantship. It should also be

noted that since this is not a research program, additional prerequisites would be required to take the Ph. D. degree. )

Qualified students with backgrounds in other branches of

Engineering, or in Mathematics or Science, are invited to apply for admission

to the course at this stage. Individual programs of study wil! be arranged to

make up prerequisites. Such students may need two academie sessions to

complete the requirements for the M.A. Sc. degree.

(iii) Ph. D. Course - Students who have shown a marked ability for

inde-pendent research may be accepted as candidates for the Ph.D. degree. A

candidate is normally required to take three subjects - a major subject (in

his field of research) and two minor subjects, one of which must be taken

from another department (Whysics or Applied Mathematics, for example). These are usually taken over a period of two years. The candidate is then

required to present a thesis embodying the results of an original, independent,

investigation on an approved topic selected from the general areas listed in

Section 3. His work must be supervised by at least one member of the staff.

The course work and the thesis research are done concurrently. Advanced Courses

The following advanced courses are offered as Ph. D. major

subjects:

Ph.D. General Examinations

A Ph. D. candidate is required to write a set of six general ex

-aminations in the field of aerospace engineering sciences based on prescribed texts as outlined below. The examinations may be taken at the beginning of

the first year but not later than the beginning of the second year. To assist

the candidates, at least three of the examinations may be taken at the beginn

-ing of the first year and the balance at the beginn-ing of the second year. How-ever, candidates are encouraged to complete their examinations at the

beginn-ing of their first year, in order that they may concentrate subsequently on

their research program. A candidate is permitted to continue with hls Ph. D.

program only if he has passed the general examinations . A candidate is ex

-pected to complete his Ph. D. work in two to three years af ter obtaining his

Master's degree. Further details can be found in the Calendar of the School

of Graduate Studies.

The following outline of the Ph. D. general examinations is

re-produced for the guidance of Ph. D. candidates. The examinations win be

held on Nov. 2, 3, and 4, 1964, and will consist of six written papers of tw

o-hour dur at ion, based on the material of the prescribed references noted

be-low. The pass mark is 60 percent on each paper. Nine papers are listed.

The two papers in Gasdynamics (8) and Incompressible Flow (9) are com-21

Ph. D. Oral Examinations

In addition to the above general examinations, Ph. D. candidates are required

to take three oral examinations as follows:

1. Departmental Thesis Review - not later than one year following

registration for the Ph. D. The purpose of this examination is to assess

the candidate's aptitude for research and to ensure that he has a good re-search problem. He will be expected to demonstrate basic understanding

and competence in his research field and to have made enough progress on

his problem to show research capability. The examination will usually. be

conducted with some of the final Ph. D. committee members from other departments being present.

2. Departmental Oral Examina,tion - as soon as the candidate's thesis

research appears to be cornpleted, and subject to the approval of the staff supervisor. The purpose of this examination is to ensure that the work

has been carried to a satisfactory conclusion and that it will be accepted by

the Department. If not, the candidate is requested to meet whatever

additional requirements the Committee may stipulate.

3. Seminar and Final Ph .. D. Oral Examination - The candiate will

de-fend his thesis (provided that it has been recommended as acceptable by three appraisers, two of whom must be outside of the Department) before the

Committee in Charge of the School of Graduate Studies. The presentation

will be conducted along the lines of a scientific meeting where the candidate

is expected to give a lucid presentation of his work limited to about half an hour, followed by a question period. Preceding the finaloral by a few

days, the candi"ate shall present his thesis as a UTIAS Seminar followed by

a similar question period.

(30)

5. FINANClAL ASSISTANCE TG STUDENTS

11. INSTITUTE TOURS

At frequent intervals during the year, the Institute offers

guided tours of its facilities to various university groups and to visiting

groups from public organizations and professional societies. The tour is

preceded by an informative illustrated lecture by the Director of the Institute,

Prof. G. N. Patterson, designed to familiarize the group with some asp -ect of aerospace research in Canada. During the tour, small informal

groups are guided about the laboratory and are able to ask questions at

first hand of those students who carry out research work. At the conc1usion

of the tour, an informal discus sion is held over coffee.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of

Dr. W. B. Fallis

Dr. W. B. Fallis was born on March 3, 1926, in Toronto. He attended Danforth and Central Technical Schools. He joined the RCAF in 1944 and was discharged in 1945 as a Pilot Officer. After obtaining his Senior Mat-riculation in the Fall of 1945 at the Ontario Training Rehabilitation Institute, he entered the Aeronautical Engineering course at the University of Toronto. He received his B.A. Sc. in 1949.

He enrolled as a graduate student at the Institute of Aerophysics and conducted shock tube research on wave interactions for which he received his M. A.Sc. in 1950. His Ph. D. thesis concerned an experimental investigation of heat transfer in the transition and turbulent boundary layer regions on a flat plate. This work was done in the 16" x 16" supersonic wind tunnel. During these years, he spent two summers at A. V. Roe (Canada), the second as an aerodynamicist in their Gas Turbine Division .
