For the student with a, strong mechanical apti- tude, graduation from Refrigeration and Air-Con- ditioning Technology will provide an education de- signed to meet his specific needs for immediate employment and general education for future ad- vancement. Classroom and lab work offer basic understand- ings and practice in this vocational area. Courses in physics, business, and writing and speaking pro- vide greater awareness of theory and business re- lations. Opportunities for employment in the field of re- frigeration and air-conditioning exist in all phases of the industry, but especially in installation, ser- vice, and sales. The industry expects substantial growth but re- alizes the full potential of this growth can be attained only if enough men are trained to handle the increased volume of business. rr wav .

SCIENCE DEPT. is flexible Providing a variety of courses which will satisfy the needs not only of those students who enter a profession in science but also of those who need a .science background for their profession or who desire general scientific knowledge is the major goal of the Science Department. To accomplish this goal, the Department provides a broad spec- trum of courses. Development of an appreciation of the scientific approach as it is applied to the derivation and testing of fundamental theories of science is one of the objectives of this Department. The application of scientific facts, skills, the- ories, and laws that may apply to the students' lives and future vocations is emphasized. Students learn to evaluate by developing proper attitudes of inquiry and by improving skills in clear and independent thinking while solving problems. In addition, students are helped to a greater awareness of the relationships within and between physical and biological systems.
