economics, and Lek Yaisarwarng, associate professor of economics,
were organizers of a National Science Foundation conference on campus last
month on “Engineering Applications of Data Envelopement
Analysis.” DEA is a linear programming technique to identify best
performances among a set of organizations, designs, processes or
formulations. Used extensively in economics and management, the technique
has a number of untapped opportunities in engineering. Opening speaker was
Larry Seiford, NSF program director and professor of engineering at the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst, who presented an overview of DEA and
engineering applications. A number of faculty from Union's engineering
division attended.

J. Richard Shanebrook,
professor of mechanical engineering, is author of an article,
“Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons: Initiatives Toward Global Nuclear
Disarmament,” in a recent issue of IEEE Technology and Society
Magazine. The article presents several initiatives that could halt the
spread of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. The
principal strategy proposed is to reduce proliferation of delivery systems
by restricting (or ceasing) the testing of long-range ballistic missiles.
