ENGINEERING Due to the establishment of Basic College, the curriculum of the School of Engineering has changed. The credits for graduation from this course have been raised from 203 to 2l6. There are still two types of courses in engineering, however. One is a two year program for which no degree is given, but which helps a student prepare for positions as an engineering aid or as a technician, The other is the four year course which leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The Mechanical Engineering Department, in addition to continuing its research with one of the regulator instrument companies studying the flow of air through registers and grills, has placed an added emphasis on the use of air conditioning for refrigeration and food technology. ln connection with the School of Home Economics and the Department of Forestry, the Engineering Drawing Department has presented courses in housing architecture. Recently a course in airplane drafting has been offered. Students taking Electrical Engineering can specialize in power generation, communication or electronics. This department expects to do cooperative research on induction heating with the Forestry Department. With increased importance placed upon soil mechanics and foundations, Civil Engineering is emphasising the graphical determination in stresses in structures. The Chemical and Metallurgical Science Department has continued research projects as part of the war effort under the auspices of the Engineering Experi- mental Station. During the year courses were offered in Michigan cities under the Engineer- ing, Science, Management, War Training program of the college in conjunc- tion with the U. S. Office of Education.
