on General Extension, of the Amer
ican Association of Land Grant
Colleges and Universities. As a
highlight to his service on school
surveys, Dr. Broady was a mem
ber of the University team who
went to Turkey in 1954, and in
1947 he served as educational ob
server for the War Department
in Austria.
According to the letter of nom
ination, "Dr. Broady has brought
recognition and respect to the Uni
versity for his high quality leader
ship and representation, and he
has served this University self
lessly and loyally for 27 years.
"As director of the Extension
Division, Dr. Broady has probably
provided guidance and instruc
tion for more students than ,any
other faculty member on this cam
pus." In an interview with Dr. Broady,
he said, "The University, through
its extension activities can con
tribute much to the education of
adults in this state."
Looking into the future, Dr.
Broady added that in June he hopes
to attend the Fifth National Con
ference of Correspondence Educa
tion in Beanff, in the Canadian
Rockies, where said he would give
the opening address.
Dr. Broady has been the author
of a number of bulletins and ar
ticles, and since 1929 he has writ
ten seven books concerning school
functions.
His work in the University has
no hampered his zeal in religious
activities for he was elected Out
standing Moderator of the Nebras
ka City Presbytery. This is an
office that may be held by either a
minister or an elder. As an elder
he holds the highest office a mem
ber can hold in a local church.

What's it like to be
A PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
ENGINEER AT IBM?"
Three years ago, college senior Gerald Maley asked himself this question.
Today, an Associate Engineer and leader of a nine-man team, Jerry re
views his experience at IBM and gives some pointers that may be helpful
to you in taking the first, most important step in your engineering career.
"What really sold me," says Jerry,
"was the way they conducted engi
neering. I'd expected rooms full of
engineers at desks. Instead, I found
all the informal friendliness of my
college lab."
Gerald, an E.E., came directly to
IBM from the University of Buffalo,
in 1953. Starting as a Technical En
gineer, he was immediately assigned
to work, with two others, on design
ing a small calculator. The supervisor
of this project was Dr. R. K. Richards,
author of "Arithmetic Operation in
Digital Computers." Jerry learned a
great deal about computers in a very
short time. Incidentally, his partic
ular machine is now going into pro-
f 1 '' " ' y " " " " -p
i' n O j
If'.x- :J ,' x - -I
- v' : 1 Ai
duction. As Jerry says, "It makes an
engineer feel good to see his project
reach the production stage and to
be able to follow it through."
Promoted to Associate Engineer
after 16 months, Jerry is now the
leader of a nine-man team. He as
signs problems to his group for solu
tion, approves their block diagrams
and the models they build. Perhaps
an hour a day goes into paper work
such as requisitioning equipment for
Ms group and reviewing technical
publications, in counseling members
of his team and preparing for trips to
technical society meetings. Apartfrom
'his regular responsabflities, he teaches
at night in the IBM school.
Why Jerry chos 3M '
Of course, there were other reasons
why Jerry selected ;iBM. lie was
vitally interested in computers, and
IUM was obviously a leader in the
fkld. He comes from a scientific family
(his brother is a mathematician) and
is fascinated by these mathematical
marvels which are revolutionizing
man's ways of doing things in so many
fields. He enjoys working on large
equipment . . . and on "pulses." "It's
more logical," he says. "In computer

work, you can actually see things
happening, which is not the case with
all electronic equipment today; And
it's not all solid math, either. What's
more, this field is so new, that pretty
soon you're up with everybody else."
Gerald has done recruiting work
himself for IBM and believes he un
derstands some of the college senior's
problems. "I usually begin an inter
view by determining a man's inter
plays. The latter is his own interest,
which is why he is in advanced ma
chine design. He points out that IBM
is careful to take these factors into
consideration another reason, per
haps,; why turnover at IBM is less
than one-sixth the national average.
What about promotions?
When asked about advancement
opportunities at IBM, Jerry says,
"You can hardly miss in this field and
in this company. They tell me sales
about double every five years which
in itself makes promotion almost axi
omatic" He endorses the IBM policy
of promoting from within, with merit
the sole criterion. The salary factor,
he remembers, was not his first con
sideration. While excellent, the tre
mendous advancement potential was
of far greater importance.

est," he reports. "Then the diversity
of work at IBM enables me to offer
him a job which will challenge that
interest." Gerald distinguishes be
tween two kinds of engineers those
w ho like to work 011 components, nut U
an circuit deigns, and those who are
inU-ristJ'd in the part the component
...
IBM hopes this message will give you
some idoa of what it's like to be an L'.E.
in Product Development at IBM. There
are equal opportunities for I.E.'s, M.E.'s,
physicists, mathfrraiidarw, and liberal
arts majors in IBM' many divisions
Rtwarch, Manufacturing Enginetrine,
Sales and Technical Service. Why not drop
in and discuss IBM witb your Placement
Director? He can supply our brochure and
tell you when IBM will interview on your
campus. Meanwhile, our Manager of En
gineering lUfcruitrnent, R. A. WhiteRorne,
will be happy to arrver your questions.
