The co-operative system equips the Engineering graduate with a sound general education, a knowledge of general engineering and a serviceable training in one of the four branches in addition to actual experience. A student following this system of training obtains, through intimate contacts in industry, an insight into labor conditions during a time when practical experience is an absolute necessity. When the College of Engineering was founded in 1908, only twenty-two students were enrolled. Today with some four hundred pupils enrolled, it is one of the outstanding schools of its kind. It is one of the twenty schools in the country offering a co-operative system of training. The college offers many other advantages. Besides being located in a city made up of many industries, the school is well equipped w ith laboratory facilities. The chemical laboratories are located in the Science building and arc fitted for all branches of scientific research. The electrical branch permits a complete test of various types of generators, motors, transformers, alternators, converters and rectifiers. Alternate and direct current are included in the facilities and apparatus and arc available for the study of various kinds of motors. A complete telephone system permits the student to become familiar with this line of work. A material testing laboratory, containing modern testing machines, is a part of the school equipment. The mechanical branch's equipment includes a complete set of testing and calibrating devices. A co-operative fuel research testing engine is a recent addition to the laboratory. A metallography laboratory is available to the students. Here specimens of steel and other alloys can be tested. Dark rooms with complete photographic equipment arc provided to familiarize the pupils with the art of microphotography, one of the modern branches of the art. The physics laboratory is equipped for elementary and advanced study. Surveying materials arc furnished to the student and all students receive work Franz A. Kartah.

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.

Civil Engineering students get work in advanced surveying in their fourth year when they conduct surveys of Milwaukee areas. The chief body of reference books needed by the Engineering students for consultation is kept in the departmental offices and in the Johnston hall library. They include bound copies and current issues of the chief technical magazines and the transactions of national engineering societies. The College of Engineering is a member of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. It is on the accepted list of the Association of American Universities and is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The college has been given a rating of an accredited school by the board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, in compliance with the law for the registration of professional engineers, a requirement for all graduates practicing in that state. The Marquette Engineer, a quarterly publication issued under the auspices of the Marquette Engineering association, was again given an A rating in all departments at the fourteenth annual convention of the Engineering College Magazines Associated, held at Rose Polytechnical Institute, Terre Haute, Indiana. The Engineer is annually acclaimed one of the outstanding engineering school magazines in the country. William F. Pinter, editor of the 1934 1935 publication, and his staff have continued the fine work of their predecessors in producing a magazine which is a model of typography and workmanship. Only two other magazines in the country have been able to compete with the Engineer. Twenty-three student publications are recognized by the E. C. M. A. The Engineer was established in 1926 and furnishes a means in which the entire sch»x l may voice its opinions on matters of interest to students enrolled in an engineering college. Franz A. Kartak, a member of the faculty of the Engineering college since 1921 and Dean of the College since 1928, was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Engineers.
