PREFACEThe Bulletin is intended to serve two main purposes:
(1) to provide prospective students of the aerospace
engineer-ing sciences, both undergraduate and postgraduate, with information
con-cerning the programs offered at the University of Toronto. This
informa-tion should be of value to guidance counsellors as weIl. In this C'onnection,
the Bulletin should be read jointly with the relevant University Calendar,
i. e. that of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering (undergraduate),
or that of the School of Graduate Studies (postgraduate).

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.(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:
2001 Dynamics of Atmospheric Flight II Prof. B. Etkin
2002 Aerosonics II Prof. H S. Ribner
2003 Hypersonic Gasdynamics Prof 1. 1. Glass

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
pulsory. The remaining four papers may be chosen, subject to the approval of the supervisor, as soon as a student registers.

Ph. D. Oral ExaminationsIn 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.
5. FINANClAL ASSISTANCE TG STUDENTS
(i) Undergraduate: FuU details of the scholarships, bursaries, and prizes available to undergraduate students in Engineering Science are given in the Calendar. of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.
(ii) Postgraduate: UTIAS Research Fellowships are available in the fields of research outlined in Section 3 and described in detail in the UTIAS Annual Progress Report. The values of these fellowships for M. A. Sc. and Ph. D. candidates are,
·lst graduate year (M A. Sc. ) $2,690. 00 2nd and subsequent graduate years (Ph. D. only) $3,110.00 Application for this support must be made annually, and the award IS contingent on satisfactory performance in research and course work.
M A.Sc. candidates in good standing may normally count on financial support not to exceed two academie sessions and asurnmer (19 months). Ph. D.
candidates in good standing who have completed the requirements for the M.A.Sc. degree may normally count on fineanical support not to exceed three calendar years.
Students are encouraged to apply for several University of Toronto, NRC, and other scholarships and fellowships, with the advice of a staff supervisor, which may be of higher value than the UTIAS Fellowships.
Further details concerning some of these awards are given in the calendar of the School of Graduate Studies. Here, again, the Institute wiU support such applications (by recommendation) only on the basis of satisfactory performance of the applicant.

10. STUDENT NOTES
Undergraduate Thesis Competition - CASl: For a number of
years, the Canadian Aeronautics and Space lnstitute has sponsored a thesis
competition among the fourth year Aerospace Engineering students. This
year, in January, 1963, thirteen students presented their Bachelor theses;
these were judged by the UTlAS staff on the basis of content and oral
pre-sentation.
The winning thesis, "A Magnetic Corpuscular Radiation Sh,ield for Manned Spacecraft", was presented by the author, Mr. N. F. Kilian, at the February, 1963, meeting of the CASl (Toronto Branch) along with several other papers presented by students from Ryerson Institute of Technology and Central Technical School. Mr. Kilian was awarded a Bronze Medallion, in-scribed with the CASI crest, and a cheque for fifty dollars.
Canadian Participation in NASA Summer Institute: A Summer Institute of Space Studies offering a five week course was held in July
-August, 1963, at Columbia University, New York. The course was spon-sored by NASA and was conducted by Dr. R. H. Jastrow from the Institute of Space Studies at Goddard Space Flight Center with the prupose of interest-ing students in space physics.
Some topics touched on in the lectures were evolution and structure of stellar systems with emphasis on planetary atmospheres, nucleosynthesis, magnetohydrodynamics and energy transport.
Two students from the University of Toronto, Mr. L. Reid and B. Sherman from third year Aerospace Engineering, were selected to attend the Summer Institute, along with 50 other students from 7 countries. During one week in August, the students participated in a field trip via DC-6 to Kitt Peak Solar Observatory, Tucson, Arizona; Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama; Atlantic Missile Range, Cape Kenn~dy (formerly Cape Canaveral), Florida; and Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA Headquarters in Washington, D. C.
Both University of Toronto students led the group, obtaining high marks on the course exams with an A+ average.
Student Athletics: An informal but very active program of atheletics exists at UTlAS on a year-round basis. Students and staff partici-pate in hockey during the winter, and football, soccer, and baseball during warmer weather. A public outdoor swimming pç>ol within a mile of the Institute is enjoyed by many during the summer.
A well equipped athletic field has been put into operation.
This facility consists of a floodlit skating rink, football field, baseball dia-mond, and space for a future tennis court.

11. INSTITUTE TOURSAt 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.

graduate from UTIAS, and consisted of Dr. W. B. Fallis, Dr. E. G. Gould, Dr. G.W. Johnston, Dr. J.D. Lee, Dr. E.K. Parks, Dr. A.M. Patterson,
Dr. J. Ruptash, and Dr. J. D. Stewart. These graduates have made many
important contributions to aeronautics, astronautics and aerophysics, as
noted in the following biographical sketches, and they occupy outs tanding
positions in the scientific communities of Canada and the United States.
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 .
