The University of Surrey, formerly Battersea College of Advanced Technology, received its charter in 1966. Chick was appointed Head of the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering in 1965 and proceded to build up research activities in the department in preparation for the move to a much larger site at Guildford during 1968-70. His early efforts to establish Surrey as a centre of research in ion implantation are well documented in CSAC 72.2.80/D.27 - CSAC 72.2.80/D.41; he also established a Lasers and Telecommunications Group, encouraged the already existing Control and Computers Group, and formed an Industrial Electronics Group to make the expertise of his academic staff available to industry on a contract research basis.
Chick's other main aim was to promote a close liaison between industry and the University, and many of the lectures, etc. in CSAC 72.2.80/D.1 - CSAC 72.2.80/D.11 reflect this, as well as his attempts to collaborate with industry in research. The 'Working Party on Continuing Development and Education for Engineers' (see CSAC 72.2.80/D.12 - CSAC 72.2.80/D.26) was also an attempt to cement close relations with industry by involving the University in the task of keeping engineers in touch with new technological developments.
Initially Chick's administrative work left him very little time for personal research, but some notes remain from his last two years at Surrey (see CSAC 72.2.80/D.43) when he was working on various aspects of ion implantation.
