In his senior year the student sees chemical engineering used in the manufacturing process in a week-long trip to industrial areas. This year the department toured sections of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York, visiting approximately sixteen plants. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers has Profes- sor Albert H. Cooper, the head of the chemical engineering de- partment, as its advisor. Meetings feature speakers, movies, or inspection trips. This year the Bucknell chapter has been selected as host for a conference which includes the Middle Atlantic Group of student chapters of AlChE. DRAWING Mr. Harold A. Shaffer Mr. W.

S tt i teeri In large absorbers like this one, valuable products ore recovered from gases KCC xi Not oil engineers ore down to eorth The chemical engineer is chiefly concerned with the de- sign, construction, and operation of equipment and plants in which chemical or physical changes occur in the manufactur- ing process. After the initial development of a product, the task of the chemical engineer is to develop methods through which it con be produced economically. A thorough knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathe- matics combined with economics, the underlying science of chemical engineering, is required. Laboratory work includes the tackling of problems in production planning and control, thermodynamics, metallurgy, and the layout and design of a Dr. Albert H. Cooper Mr. Williom H.

They are only taking port in a laboratory offered by the civil engineering department. These men are being prepared to enter the construction field; to design and locate roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, and buildings. The department, under the supervision of Professor Dalzell M. Griffith, presents a very comprehensive series of courses that assures the students of complete knowledge of the field. Other laboratory work includes the testing of the properties of construction material Mopping for oerial photogrophers requires the use of the verticol sketchmoster These students are using an SR-4 Gouge in beam testing 28
