ENGINEERING m 'ff' 00? I on OH The engineering departments of the Institute are concerned with the development of applied science for purposes useful to the community. Thus, many of the members of the engineering faculty are known not only for their work at the Institute, but also for their contributions to industry and public utilities. Many industries, in appreciation for these services, have established research grants and fellowships at the Institute for advanced work in engineering. The workin civil engineering includes the minimizing of earth- quake effects, stress analysis and design problems in dams, sani- tion, sewage treatment and disposal, soil mechanics, and highway construction. Professor Franklin Thomas, who heads the depart- ment, is a member of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District. A I-ligh-Potential Research Laboratory and a million volt trans- former designed by Professor R. W. Sorenson, donated by the Southern California Edison Company, Ltd., provides facilities for the research of the Electrical Engineering Department into high voltage phenomena. The Department of Mechanical Engineering, under Professor Robert L. Daugherty, is concerned with problems in hydraulics, machine design, materials and processes, metallography, and thermodynamics.
