THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING T ' HE Civil Engineering Curriculum proposes to give a broad education in those general and scientific subjects which form the foundation of all engineering, and a special train- ing in its own field, which covers the construc- tion of highways, railroads, harbors, docks and terminals, bridges, buildings, foundations, tunnels, and many other modern civil engineering pro- jects. In accordance with this plan, the Civil De- partment was one of the first organized at Lehigh. The first two years are devoted primarily to such fundamental studies as are necessary in preparation for the technical work which follows. The junior and senior years are devoted to instruc- !■ I ' t,,(,, i; s tion in structural design, highway and railroad l)i-l arlmrnt (if construction, hydraulics and sanitary engineering. (,ii ' i hngiiiiennii j gj g ■ graduate a knowledge of the funda- mentals of business, courses in economics, accounting, and finance have been placed in the curriculum. These subjects prove very useful to those who later seek advancement along sales, managerial and executive channels. Supplementing the theoretical work of the classroom, practical instruction is available in the Fritz Engineering Laboratory. Here the students have an opportunity not only to carry on tests in materials and hydraulics, but also to keep in close touch with the extensive investigations on many notable engineer- ing structures. A six weeks ' course in practical surveying is given at the con- clusion of the freshman year which exemplifies field operations in the best manner and acquaints the student with the best types of surveying instruments. The Civil Engineering curriculum as a whole, including as it does mathe- matics, pure and applied science, general engineering and business subjects, affords a thorough training in system, arrangement of work, accuracy in figures and logical thinking, so that the student has the proper training to enter not only the engineering profession, but also any business organization, should he not care to follow strictly engineering work.

Joseph Warres Harkkr S.B., S.M. Head nf Drpartment of Elritrii I II Kniiinrnnui THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LFHIGH University was one of the first institutions in this country to offer .1 course in Electrical Engineering, the register of 18 83 showing an optional one- year course in Applied Electricity. Until 1903 the course in Electrical Engineering was conducted in connection with the De- partment of Physics under the direction ot Professor W. S. Franklin, and in common with the most successful courses in Elec- trical Engineering it has inherited a strong mathematical-physics background. The separate department was created in 1903 under the leadership of Professor Willi.im Esty who served in this capacity until his death in 1928. In the year 1928-29 Pro- fessor S. S. Seyfert was the acting head of the department and has been followed by Professor J. W. Barker who is now in charge of the work. The curriculum aims to lay a broad foundation in the mathematical-physical sciences with provision for the necessary specializa- tion in Applied Electricity. In older to round out the student ' s fundamental training, subjects in other branches of Engineering and in Arts and Business are included, A certain degree of specialization by electives is permitted dur- ing the Junior and Senior years in such fields as radio, high voltage trans- mission, electric transients, electric traction, etc. Great attention is given to application of the theoretical principles to actual machines in the laboratory. The department has this year moved into the west half of the new Packard Laboratory, which with its equipment is probably the finest of its kind in the country. The building provides an abundance of space for class and lecture rooms, course and research laboratories, machine shops and facili- ties for the comfort of the students. It contains the William Esty Memorial Librar)-. The Faculty PROFESSORS Joseph Warren Barker, S. B., S. M.
