Capt. Columbus, Department Head The engineering department, headed by Capt. Columlius, has given us the technical knowledge needed for the various engineering duties in thc service. At the beginning of second year class we liecame acquainted with this department through electrical engineering, mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and properties of materials. After learning the fundamentals, we applied them in our first-class courses, ship construction and stability, power engineering, and electronics. Few ol us will forget the time spent with Cdr. Reed-Hill taking photos of the microstructure ol' metals, or trouble shooting the super-heterodyne receivers in electronics lah. The design problems in ship C815 and power gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our working knowledge. This department has given us a toolbox full ol tools which we will he using throughout our careers. ngineering eioarfmenf ENGINEERING INSTRUCTORS Seated: Rinehart, Reed-Hill, Columbus, Rogers Standing: Jordan, Suzich, Baumgartner, Russell, Conti, Frazier, Eunson, Babcock, Eley, Recio, Yvhite, Bacon

WafAemafic5 eloarfmenf Equations and formulae. from geometrv to calculus, is this departnienfs specialty. Cdr. S. L. Smith, department head, also class ad- visor to 1960, sees that rnemhers of the third and fourth Class are Well grounded in analyti- cal geometry, advanced algebra, and calculus so that when problems arise in engineering these can be solved. Ably assisted hy Cdr. Rivard. lit. .-Xdarns. and a staff of many others they see that 1-adets are taught how to analyze prohlenrs quivlsly and properly.
