Site preparation for the $7.5 million engineering center at Texas A&M continues this week.
Charles Brunk, assistant manager of physical plants, said actual construction should start within a few days. Completion of the engineering center is scheduled for the summer of 1971.
The center will house undergraduate and graduate instruction, plus engineering research.
A&M received federal funding for the complex, to be located facing the Cyclotron Institute.
The building will consist of 317,575 gross square feet with a basement and four floors.

State Rep. Ray Lemmon of Houston will present a formal copy of a House of Representatives concurrent resolution on oceanographic development to A&M President Earl Rudder here Friday.
The resolution, authored by Rep. Lemmon, notes the contributions Texas A&M is making to the state through oceanographic research and development.
Endorsed by Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, the document officially represents the entire 61st Legislature.
Lemmon, who represents District 24 and is serving his first term in the Legislature, pointed out in the document that Texas A&M is the only institution of higher learning in the state offering a degree in oceanography.
The Houston solon introduced the resolution following a visit to Texas A&M and inspection of the university’s various oceanographic and related facilities.
Texas A&M was selected last year by the National Science Foundation as one of six U. S. universities to receive major institutional support under the new Sea Grant Program designed to develop the nation’s marine resources. Texas A&M’s Sea Grant work complements the basic research conducted by the university’s Oceanographic Department.
Two Texas A&M football players and another youth were beaten by 12 to 15 youths on a Galveston beach Thursday and thus far five boys have been charged.
Galveston police are investigating the incident which involved Allan Wayne Hanson, a junior tackle, and Jerry Minyard, a sophomore rover back. The other boy was identified as Steve Stewart, a former University of Texas football player.
The boys said that they were beaten with tire tools and a car jack while being held at gunpoint by a gang who jumped them after yelling obscenities in a passing car as Hanson and Minyard talked to a girl nearby.
The boys charged with aggravated assault and battery with a deadly weapon and simple assault were Jack Higgins, 19; David Huddleston, 21; and Bob Hodges, 22.
Others charged with two counts of simple assault were Don Heg- man, 19 and James Rawlings, 19.
Hanson, 20, of Kemah, Tex., identified two of the suspects from his room in John Sealy Hospital in Houston, where he is in good condition after suffering lacerations over the left eye. His eye was swollen shut but he is expected to be released from the hospital this week.
Minyard, 20, a sophomore who played defensive end, rover, and split end, was reported in satisfactory condition in a Nederland hospital with a fractured left arm and abrasions on the forehead.
Stewart, of League City, was treated for cuts and bruises and released.

Four Bryan-College Station residents associated with Texas A&M were injured Friday in a car-truck accident in Houston.
Hospitalized in Houston’s Sam Houston Hospital were Gorden Gay, retired YMCA coordinator at A&M; Logan Weston, YMCA coordinator; Ed Donnell, student president of the YMCA cabinet from Freeport, and Buddy Smith, a student YMCA housing officer worker.
Smith, who lives in Bryan, was released early Saturday.
Weston is the most seriously injured wtih a broken jaw, head concussion and many facial cuts. Gay and Donnell also received facial cuts but are expected to be released late Saturday or early Sunday.
The accident occurred at 6:30 p.m. three miles inside the Houston city limits on Hwy. 290. A large transport truck hauling pipe was passing Gay’s 1963 Ford when the truck’s driver apparently misjudged the distance and pulled the rear of the trailer over the front of the car. Both vehicles were headed toward downtown Houston.
The car was demolished, according to a family spokesman.
The group was to attend a function in Houston Friday evening.
Artist Showcase presentations are pianist Stephen Bishop, Oct. 30; Spanish guitarist Sabicas, Feb. 2; the Guarneri String Quartet, March 5; and the Dallas Symphony, April 23.
Town Hall also has lined up three “special attractions,” for which extra tickets will be required. Included are singer Johnny Rivers, Nov. 26; the Harlem Globetrotters, Feb. 3; and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, May 9.
Rotary Series ticket holders will be admitted free to the Mantovani performance and Town Hall ticket holders to the Misha Dichter concert.
Tickets for either series may be obtained in person or via mail from the Student Program Office in the MSC, noted Stewart, senior finance major from San Antonio.
Town Hall season tickets are $12 each for patrons, $10 for A&M faculty-staff members and $7 for student wives or dates.
Students possessing university activity and identification cards will be admitted free to regular Town Hall performances, with reserved seats available for $3 for the season. Students also will be admitted free to the Dichter concert.
Town Hall season ticket holders and students with activity and identification cards will be admitted without charge to the four Artist Showcase programs. Individual tickets will be $2 for adults and $1 for other students.
Rotary Series season tickets are $16.50 each.
Individual tickets will be sold, if available, for Town Hall presentations, Stewart pointed out, but not for the Rotary Series.
He noted, however, 200 Rotary Series tickets for each performance are being retained for A&M students and their wives or dates. The tickets will be $2 each.
