METALLURGY f s? V. Manuel R. Castellanos . ' i BR p( m V Julian H. Cherubini David A. Colling ' DeWayne C. Ganow Thomas K. Goldstick Ronald S. Knitisch PROF. JOHN CHIPMAN 24 Metallurgy deals with the recovery of metals from their crude ores, refining them and preparing them for use. To meet these broad demands the course in metallurgy offers two options, one in metallurgy, the other in mineral engineering. These options are designed to train the men in a specific line of work, but despite the specialized curriculum, the graduate is able to choose from a wealth of industries where metals are used. The curriculum in Metallurgy ( Option 1 ) is designed to balance the fundamentals of physics and chemistry, and to follow these with specialized studies in the science of metals. The engineering training deals primarily with the refining of metals from the ores, casting or forging of the metal, and the control of the structural properties of metals. Mineral engineering deals with the mineral compounds of metals, their separation and extraction. Included in these fields are the sciences of crystal chemistry and min- erology. As long as the world needs metals, there will be a need of competent men to mine, refine, and refashion metals. Course Three men can belong to professional organizations in their field. The American Foundrymen ' s Society, and the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgi- cal Engineering offer the opportunity for members to keep informed of the latest developments in their field, through discussions, and lectures.

The department of architecture offers an education in the craftsmanship and theory of architecture. This is supplemented with general courses in humanities and science to produce a graduate who will use both engineering and humanistic ideas in solving architectural problems. Since the field of architecture is so I)road. the department is divided into two options. Architecture, and City Planning. In addition to the science and humanities, the students learn to think in three dimensions, to include visual order in their designs. The students may draw upon the Institute for technical training in engineering fields, such as structures, heating, illumination, and acoustics. All these courses are integrated into the design classes, where the students solve actual achitectural problems. In the five year course, the man can grow in the educational environment and develop the techniques and judgement of a professional architect. The Tech .Architects and Planners Society is an organization designed to tie the two design schools together and at the same time foster exchange of ideas between other schools in the country. The society also strives to maintain correspondence with the professional societies in related fields, and to keep its members informed of ad- vancements in the profession. I ' ROF. LAWRENCE B.
