COLLEGE o f TECHNOLOGY

The College of Technology offers curricula in Chemistry and Chemical, Civil, Electrical, General and Mechanical Engi­ neering leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. The De­ partments of Engineering Drafting and Mechanics offer courses required in all engineering curricula.

DEPARTMENTS

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering The depart- Paul Cloke, Dean men t offers major work in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, including Pulp and Paper Chemistry and Technology. The student in Chemistry, in addition to the primary chemical requirements, takes courses in Bacteriology, Mineralogy, Bio-Chemistry, Metallurgy, and the teaching of Chemistry, while the Chemical Engineering student pursues fundamental courses in mechanics, heat, electrical and mechanical engineer­ ing involved in unit chemical plant operations. Together with fundamental courses in physics, mathematics, Eng­ lish, modern foreign language, economics, management and general, analytical, organic, physical, and industrial and engineering chemistry, the student obtains a good all-round education. Graduates make good records on a com­ petitive basis as teachers, lawyers, patent examiners, physicians, research and consulting chemists and chemical en­ gineers in federal, state, municipal and industrial organizations, and as superintendents and managers of indus­ trial plants. Under normal conditions, demand for our graduates exceeds the supply.

Civil Engineering The work of this department is to give its students exact and careful training in the fundamentals of the professsion. Its graduates may be found in positions of responsi­ bility in all sections of the country. The broad field of civil engineering is well covered by thorough instruction in surveying, sanitation, railroad location, geology, steam gauging, materials laboratory, and structures During the senior year, specialized study may be selected in Highway Engineering, Railroad Engineering, Hydraulic Engineer­ ing or Sanitary Engineering.

Electrical Engineering department offers courses intended to develop the student educationally and

General Engineering primary PurPose of this course is to afford an opportunity to a selected few outstanding students to develop themselves along certain specific lines, not afforded by other engineering curricula, in which they have great interest or are particularly capable. Opportunity is af­ forded for electives in economics, foreign languages, history, mathematics, physics, and psychology. Engineering or scientific studies would be taken which would bear on some particular branch of engineering or have some func­ tional objective such as design or research or management according to the leaning or capability of the candidate.

Mechanical Engineering The Mechanical department aims to offer to students a curriculum which gives a broad training in the fundamentals of heat engineering, design, and the principles of industrial engineering. It includes such principles in economics, psychology and management which will give the student an insight into the commercial, human relations, and managerial problems, with which he will later come in contact. The theory is supplemented by practice in the shops, drawing room and our well equipped Crosby Mechanical Laboratory, and this broad foundation should help to shorten the transition period from college work into any Mechanical Engineering field.
