This memorandum contains a request for your approval in paragraph six. 2. I have prepared an unclassified manuscript in final draft form entitled, "A Pilot Course in Engineering Systems Analysis". The paper has been accepted for presentation at the 79th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Engineering Education at the U. S. Naval Academy the week of 21 June 1971. The paper represents, in a non-attributable form, the unclassified course design of a seminar that has been conducted by DD/S&T throw h OTR 25X1 Chief, ISS/OTR and over the past year. (A regular internal report is in progress on is course pending completion of the final session in early May. ) 3. The paper would be jointly authored by Dr. R. Spooner of Bolt, Beranek and Newman with myself. Dr. Spooner is not cognizant of the contents of the attached manuscript which I have prepared independently pending this request for approval. He has taught the bulk of the sessions of the course under a current Agency contract and would properly be a co-author. He is on the staff of Catholic University as a visiting lecturer in electrical engineering. 4. If acceptable I would like to be identified as an employee of CIA for two main reasons: a. The course format and content has been cited as innovative and original in design to attack a growing problem area in government and aerospace technical w 6 [x~a .~W`~ ~ bA and Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP 4.3576A060100010025-3 Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP78-03576A000100010025-3 groups. It has been conducted at a graduate level. It is suggested that it would be advantageous for the Agency to be identified with this tutorial role in the Federal milieu. b. A critique on the structure and the sequence from the crossection of professional technical educators at the meeting would redound to the benefit of the training posture of CIA in this key area of engineering systems analysis. 5. I have been a member of ASEE since 1957 and have participated through committees and other work since an earlier service assignment as Assistant Professor in electrical engineering at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy. 6. It is requested that approval be granted for the presentation of this paper entitled, "A Pilot Course in Engineering Systems Analysis". 25X1 TA/PP/ORD/DD/S&T Attachment: "A Pilot Course in Engineering Systems Analysis" Approved For Release 2005/11 21 : CIA-RDP78-03576A000100010025-3 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP78-03576A000100010025-3 Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP78-03576A000100010025-3 1CLASSA ved FoCjeIIN?ER 5/11/21 : CIA-RDP78-01i57`e w:thp'000141o25-3 ^ SECRET ROUTING AND RECORD SHEET STAT SUBJECT: (Optional) Request for Approval for Publication of Technical Paper TO: (Officer designation, room number, and building) EXTENSION NO, ~?
