mechanical engineering Machines are man's creation, and yet in a sense the man of today is a machine product, for modern civilization owes its material and in a large measure its esthetic development to machinery. It may be taken almost as axiomatic that, at least for engin- eering purposes, no theory or equation is of value until it is put in a form that can be readily under- stood and utilized. lt is the aim of the stali of the mechanical engineering option to present the funda- mental principles and to guide the student progres- sively from the simpler applications to the more complex cases. He will learn how to approach his tasks, that is, he will discover that any device or problem, however complicated, can be resolved into groups of the elementary combinations and studied as such. The particular form in which this knowledge should be absorbed and the extent to which it should be interpreted obviously will depend upon the individual. cui1mlglu----- l..g.-...--1,,,,,, I Xt- wi .
