Practical on the job training has recently been added to options in the engineering curriculum. A cooperative program with industrial hrms such as Reo, Ford, and Chrysler allows students to alternate their study programs, spending one term at State in classroom work, and the next in one of these firms, in a position commensurate with their experience and interest. These positions are designed to give the students broad backgrounds in industry before they actually embark on their careers. Just recently begun, the school is making plans for expanding the program to allow more students to take advantage of its educational value. .JN 'xii' , sg? 9' Pouring metal castings is a hot job. Safety glasses and old clothes are accepted gear for this work. Each one doing his particular job, four students cooperate on the myriad of detail involved in testing a tractor. '? l.

Waving their associates holding the tapes back and forth to get in the desired positions, the engineers strain their vision in an attempt to accurately measure the campus. Civil engineering students also do lab work in stress analysis and construction. Some students have the oppor- tunity to design some projects of their own such as minia- ture bridges. Students who elect electrical engineering study the problems of transmission and distribution of electrical currents. Communication media including the technical aspects of TV are possible pursuits in this field. The facilities of WKAR-TV are utilized by the students in this vvork. Agriculture. which prevails at MSC, pervades even into the engineering school in the form of the ag engineer- ing curriculum. Students become acquainted with farm machinery and apparatus and performs experiments in soils and in erosion control. tiff fluff '9 '1Y, . ...E fl w - , -H.
