fl... SCI-IOOI. ENGINEERING DRAWING AND MECHANICS , Machine drawing and principles of mechanics are taught to all engineers. Mechanical, Aeronautical, Electrical, and Civil Engineers are required to complete extensive courses in these subjects. ENGLISH No education could be called complete without ample instruction in the use of the language. One year of Rhetoric and one year of Literature are required of all students for graduation. GEOLOGY The work of the Department of Geology is designed to give the student a working knowledge of the basic principles of Geology and Mineralogy, and their application to practical engineering. INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT This course was instituted to meet a need for technically trained industrial executives. Technical and scientific subjects are studied with particular emphasis being placed on business prin- ciples and management. MATHEMATICS The important mathematical applications to engineering are taught from algebra to and including differential equations. A thorough course in Astronomy is also offered, and several semes- ters of graduate study are available. q MECHANICAL ENGINEERING For the first eight years following the founding of Georgia Tech, the Department of Mechanical Engineering was the only one offering a degree, and it has grown steadily since that time. At present it is one of the largest departments in the school. MODERN LANGUAGES Both elementary and advanced courses in French, German, and Spanish are offered for those who wish to combine a knowledge of modern tongues with their particular branch of engineering work. PHYSICS A11 engineering students are required to complete at least a year's worlc in the Physics Department. The basic principles of mechanics, heat, sound, and electricity are thoroughly covered, in combination with extensive laboratory worlc. TEXTILE ENGINEERING Excellent facilities for shop and laboratory worlc make this one of the most popular departments at Tech. The success of the course is well illustrated by the positions filled by its alumni in the textile world. ,ONES VAUGHAN KING WYCKOFF KIXUGHT

FITZGERALD GIBSON DUNKIN HOWEY JOHNS DEPARTMENTS .5 ARCHITECTURE The course in Architecture was opened in 1908. The depart- ment, which is accredited by the American Institute of Architects, requires five years of work for the degree of Bachelor of Archi- tecture. AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING The Daniel Guggenheim School was established in 1930. Stu- dents enter this department after two years of work in Me- chanical Engineering, and work towards a degree of Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering. BIOLOGY The Biology Department offers courses in Bacteriology, Zoology, and Physiology. It is considered essential that certain engineer- ing courses include a brief study of the higher and lower forms of life. CERAMIC ENGINEERING Georgia is the center of an area which produces much of the countryls supply of ceramic raw materials. Aside from furnish- ing well-trained men, the department aids industry by research and testing. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING The Chemistry Department is divided into Engineering and Pure Chemistry divisions. The former is primarily interested in plant operation and large-scale reproduc- tion, the latter with laboratory work and research. CIVIL ENGINEERING The importance of Civil Engineering can he seen every- where in buildings, bridges, highways, and maps. The course at Tech offers training in the theory and applica- tion of construction and design. CO-OPERATIVE DEPARTMENT The Co-operative Department offers five-year courses al- ternating three months of study with three months of practical work. It affords excellent opportunity for those who earn their own expenses. ECONOMICS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE The Department of Economics and Social Science includes courses in- tended to broaden the student and acquaint him with some of the proh- lems facing our economic system. Courses in Business management are offered. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING The study of Electrical Engineering is of primary importance in the modern World. Students become familiar with the design, construction, and opera- tion of motors, power plants, and radio equipment-.
