1 I i 1- ENCINEERIN - DEP RTMENT l il '0'W,Ei'nfi IfI ' T is the purpose of this school to give to those persons who desire to fit themselves for professional engineers, courses in Civil, Mechanical, and gl Electrical Engineering. The aim of the school is to afford a foundation - of sound theory, which shall be sufficiently broad and deep as to enable lpn ,Gig its possessor at any future time to enter with understanding upon the W., . investigation of any of the numerous problems embraced in his chosen 'fs new . . . . . . QQ' ' ' neld of engineering. Along with the foundation knowledge there IS , fy 'f 11 imparted a sufhcient amount of professional practice and detail, so as to enable the graduate engineer to take up, at once, the active work of the profession. The engineers of today are our leaders in the forward march of civilization, the leaders in the new adaptations of the laws, forces and materials of nature to the service of man, they are the men to whom, safely and economically, shall be entrusted the solution of the new problems of power, transportation, and public utilities. They are the guides of capital to new ventures, and the censors of proposed public improvement. The work of the first two years is very similar in each of the courses and consists of those studies which form the ground-work of later years. During these beginning years the following subjects are taken up and completed: English and Modern lan- guages, Klatheinatics, Chemistry, Physics, Elementary drawing and shop work. At the opening of the junior year the paths of the engineers separate. The Civil Engineer surveys and locates railroads, or designs bridges and tunnels, the Mechanical lingineer designs boilers, engines and machinery or makes tests of the efficiency of power plants, the Electrical Engineer begins to work with the invisible forces of the electric current. in its many and varied application. These courses being mastered, the graduate will be prepared to take his place in the ranks of the great industrial army, and help to carry forward the banner of Ameri- can supremacy in the held of Engineering. 26
