l i 5 CAMERA BREAK - Electronics students fseatedl Bill Gardner and Ken Tenold look up and Bernard Buckland fstandingl looks on, Science and technology play an increasing role in our twentieth century society. The need for in- dividuals with qualified backgrounds in electronic technological training is growing. In an effort to learn more about industrial elec- tronic applications, the electronic students tour many industries during the year. The student's preparation in the technical as- pects of electronics is founded in basic principles of electricity and developed through advanced cir- cuitry. Math, physics, business, and communica- tion courses further prepare the student for busi- ness and industry. Graduates of the electronics program find em- ployment as operations technicians, engineering technicians, la.boratory technicians, plant main- tainers, automatics test technicians, final computer tssts technicians, equipment installers, and sales and service representatives.

A draftsman must be trained to think, read, and speak about the problems and ideas of the archi- l tect, designer, engineer, fabricator, and contractor l and to translate those ideas into clear and concise working drawings. He must have an understanding of materials used in industry, of manufacturing methods, and of industrial proceduresg and he must develofp a high level of mathematical, scientific, and applied technological ability. Students participating in the drafting program are also given the opportunity for creative design with emphasis on visualization, analysis, and eval- uation. Accuracy, neatness, legibility, technique, and speed, which are required in industrial draft- ing rooms, are maintained Within the department.

E GI EERI G DEPT. applies scientific data Engineering is an applied science. The discov- ery, verification, and organization of facts and information is the basic job of the scientist. It is the engineer's job to use scientific information in the creation of materials, machines, structures, and processes. An engineering education is demanding, but en- gineering is a rewarding profession and a. chal- lenging and satisfying 'career with many opportun- ities for advancement. Although some types of en- gineering are regional, there is a great demand for engineers all over the United States. The engineering department provides such courses as Engineering Graphics, Orientation to Engin- eering, Engineering Problems, and Statics of En- gineering. These courses are planned to parallel the first two years of engineering curricula at four-year engineering colleges.
