Using techniques followed by aero space engineers to simulate the perform ance of the Gemini space capsule, technicians at St. Louis' McDonnell Automation Center fed an IBM 7094 computer a diet of data that included the col lege's projected curriculum, the expected line-up of courses for the students, the size of classrooms, labs, lecture halls and shops, the size of the faculty, and time patterns for classes.
