PROFESSOR Waller Arnell astitis students in measuring the amount of siring deformation of metals with applied loads in the mechanical engineering deportment. IOFESSOR Willard Reed shows students Ronol the operation of the oeriol mapping machine. THE REALM of Mechanical Engi- neering is so extensive that training must be very broad and basic, pro- viding grounding in fundamentals plus subjects like energy conversion, thermodynamics, etc. Specialization comes through electives in the sen- ior year. By means of the well-equipped laboratories the student can gain much in the way of practical expe- rience. With Dr. Herluf Nielsen at the helm, the department keeps con- stant pace with modern engineering technolog)' to provide its students with the best possible academic background. 27

£ tgt tee ttwg Gmmiy Cf uca tyb A MECHANICAL ENGINEER is well trained in his profession. A Long Beach State graduate is no exception. His curriculum includes ample foundation courses in graphics, chemistry, physics, and mathe- matics. Other courses include thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, metal- lurgy, and design. The laboratories are provided with modern machin- ery which enables the student to learn and study in a well-ecjuippcd atmosphere. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR Mont VondorMeydcn prepares Ihe panel beard of the octane retting machine.

ud db AS AN ELECTIVE organization, the Mechanical Engineer group allows anyone who is enrolled in the mechanical engineering pro- gram to become a member. This club hopes to eventually be- come affiliated with the national or- ganization in the near future. The purpose of this club is to promote the advancement and dissemination of knowledge of the theory and practice of mechanical engineers. They tour large industries in the Los Angeles area to provide for prospective speakers. Each year a special engineering project is com- pleted. Bi-monthly meetings, speak- ers, and banquets make up the Me- chanical Engineers Club’s activities for the year. VAl SHULER it Iho Engineering Deportment's onswer to the man against ma hino.
