Marquette University - Hilltop Yearbook (Milwaukee, WI)

Page 30 text:

Housed in one of the oldest of the University buddings, the Engineering College strives to develop in its mellowed precincts true men of science, men who do not allow their reason to become narrowed by mere consideration of angles and stress, of tangents and formulae, but who see beyond these surface things a vision of the most important first Cause. Too often pictured as outwardly rough, Marquette's engineers are among her deepest students.

Eng i neering Having established itself as an outstanding school, the Marquette University College of Engineering offers courses based upon actual experience. Through co-operation with industry all courses arc planned in such a manner that eighteen months out of the five years a student is in school arc spent in the work shops of one of Milwaukee's many industries. Training in the first two years of all engineering courses is broad. The College presents work in each of the four chief branches of the profession. Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. During the last three years a student spends at the school the co-operative system is used. This system, which has met with popular approval since its inception in 1919, divides the time of the pupil into two periods. On alternate months the pupil acquires academic background at the school. The other half of the student's time is spent in practical employment in the industrial shops of the city. Here the pupil is paid for his work and at the same time gains additional knowledge by means of close contact with his life's work. While the pupil is employed by an outside firm, his w-ork is closely supervised and a complete record is kept. While co-operative work has been somewhat curtailed during the depression years, a decided turn for the better has been noted in the number of students placed under the co-operative plan. During these abnormal times the students have been granted the privilege of w idening their scope. Courses in other colleges in the University have been offered during the period when the student would have been employed in an industrial shop. With a complete end of the depression, the system will be returned to its original plan.
