Files filled with material gathered in past child analysis studies provide data for research. Educational institutions throughout the state are given aid by the school in developing guidance and vocational programs to supplement their existing facilities. Expert advisors help schools in setting up new plans and in cor- recting unsuccessful procedures. Education has left its mark on the world. And MSC's School of Education has left its mark upon its graduates. Men and women trained in this school are teaching in school systems throughout the United States. As they stand in front of their classrooms, they feel grateful for the practical training which MSC gave them. TUE SOLAQ SYSTQ Charts and other visual aids are studied by coeds for their usefulness in teaching. 5... Interviewing and then criticizing their own interviews give graduate stu- dents experience in guidance. 23 1

Slide rules, abstruse math symbols, complex machinery and vari-colored graphs are tools utilized by the students of engineering who work in the labyrinth of shops, labora- tories and classrooms in Olds Hall. Depending on their specialty, engineers may also spend time using their hands and heads in the foundry, the automotive laboratory, the chemical engineering building or the new experimental wind tunnel on south campus. A few students who have chosen the intricacies of electricity for exploration find themselves in the new modern Electrical Engineering build- ing, the envy of the other departments who are situated in slightly older quarters. Before they begin their actual technical training, the budding engineers receive a Basic College education like the rest of us. They also get their first inklings of the future when instructors introduce them to engineering drawing, chemistry, physics and machinery lab courses. A vacation in the Upper Peninsula is required of all civil engineering majors in the summer between the fresh- man and sophomore years. Practical field work is the keynote of this camp. If a student manages to survive the first two years, he is admitted into the School of Engineering where he receives his training in a specialized curriculum. Some students prefer chemical engineering and study distillation, evaporation and the heat treatment of fluids as the core of their program. A broad background in physics and chemistry is necessary for success in this curriculum. Mechanical engineering students learn automotive engi- neering, the design of industrial machinery and the techni- calities of plant layout. Time and motion study and power plant work are part of the training for the mechanical engineer. Heating metals and then studying their properties is the interest of metallurgical engineering students. They can be seen inserting metal rods into electric furnaces, and heating them up to a certain temperature. Carefully pull- ing the rods out with tongs, the students quickly cool them in water which produces a sizzle as well as the desired property changes. nf,- Curves, angles and circles are an important part of an engineer's educa- tion as this drawing class shows. xg flag' if 'l ff gd li ' img L- f infill! ,Q ' ill 6524! an L 7 . , +552 Grinding tools in u lathe requires a keen eye, precision timing, careful movements, and a little luck. 25
