Curricula MINING ENGINEERING The courses in Mining Engineering are devised for students desiring to follow virtually any phase or branch of the mineral industry, and for those who Wish a general mining course. The latter option is strongly recommended to all prospective engineers and leadsto the Mining Engineer degree. Preceding the Junior year the Work is largely fundamental, embracing a choice between Coal Mining, Geology or Petroleum Engineer- ing. If a student has special qualifications or reasons for pursuing one of the options, he is privileged to do so. s The duties of a Mining Engineer are so comprehensive and diverse, due to the character and location of Widespread mining operations, that he requires not only experi- ence in the problems relating to Geology and Mining, but also a logical and coherent education in the fundamentals of all the important ramifications of engineering. It is conclusive that this specialization rests upon a foundation of Well balanced courses in mining. Three special fields are included in professional mining work. First, that of the mining geologist, who can intelligently direct prospecting and exploration Work after studying the physical relations of mineral deposits, second, that of the mining engineer Who equips and designs mining and ore dressing plants, supervises the operation of mines and estimates the value of mining properties, and finally, the metallurgist who extracts metals from the ores, qualifying them and their by-products for industry. To facilitate practical instruction in mining and mine surveying, the college has provided a small experimental mine. The plant in its entirety gives the student a basic grasp on mine operation and makes possible an opportunity to apply methods taught in the classroom. I METALLURGY The department of Metallurgy and Ore Dressing is cognizant of the fact that two branches of metallurgy exist, physical and process, and has made out a curriculum and secured modern equipment with this in mind. Its chief aim is to substantiate required theory p-ractical work in its varied courses, and is adequately supplied to give each student an opportunity to master sufficient technique to become directly useful upon entering his chosen line of work. The college laboratories are excellently equipped for intensive and original research in hydro-metallurgy, pyro-metallurgy or electro-metal- lurgy in the process metallurgical field, and for work on the various physical, chemical and thermal tests, as well as the technical study of structure, both microscopic and macroscopic in the physical metallurgical range of activity. ' The variety of industries employing metallurgists is very comprehensive. The steel industry, the automobile industry, the electro-chemical industries,. the rolling mills, the makers of alloys, the U. S. Government Bureaus, the oil companies and mining companies, Page Twenty-five
