ROBERT MORRELL Chairman Chemical Engineering Technology Precise work is the keyword in chemistry. “Do what you oughta; pour the acid in the water.” Little Willie drank his milk And he asked his mom for more. She just chuckled when he did. It was H2SO4. In the laboratory the students have developed a new compound of Carbonic helium Molybcury with a bond of Tellurium Carbide of Hydrogen. It is stated chemically as CHe 2 M.TeCH3. 16

Chemical Engineering Technology (CHM) Civil Engineering Technology (CIV) Drafting and Design Technology (DFT) Electronics Technology (ELN) Industrial Engineering Technology (IE) Mechanical Engineering Technology (MT) The Division of Engineering Technology combines theory with a great portion of practical exercise so that when encountered with a problem of an engineering nature, he may draw on his resources of knowledge and experience to arrive at a workable solution. Electronics Technology provides a firm background in electronics theory, with practical application of the theory in well equipped laboratories. Students concentrate studies on transistors, amplifiers, modulators, multivibrators and other circuits, as well as computers and other similar apparatuses. The Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum provides instruction in the principles of machine design and application. The student studies characteristic metal and processes required to give machines motion. He makes a complete drawing of machines parts which are later used in shop in the actual creation of these parts. The Civil Engineering Technology course prepares a student to participate in the planning and supervision of duties required in various types of construction, from surveying, soil testing, and estimating costs to the supervision of construction and order of construction. The Industrial Engineering Technology curriculum is involved with time and motion study as it pertains to industry. He studies the methods whereby man and machine are used more efficiently in production. This may involve materials handling, placement of equipment, and production schedules. The Chemical Engineering Technology course of studies involves the fundamentals of general and organic chemistry. The student studies methods used in the modern laboratory and is subjected to hours of practical experiments becoming thoroughly familiar with procedures such as extraction, distillation, and heat transfer. The Drafting and Design Technology student learns the techniques of producing a drawing which will be universally interpreted. He learns to visualize an object before it exists and draws it to scale so that from these drawings the piece may be constructed. Since he constructs drawings related to many engineering fields, he must possess a working knowledge of these fields so that he may correctly interpret engineering applications. 15
