EF -4. -. 9- J 1 Wecnanica! Engineering Nlechanical engineering is the art and science of genf erating, transmitting, and utilizing mechanical povverg the production of tools, machine tools, machinery and their products. In addition to the research, design, development and investigation required in creating these services and products, mechanical engineering includes the coordination of manfpower, material, natural resources, and moneytfor effective and economic production. It is the object in this department to give the student a comprehensive training in the fundamentals of mechanical engineering which will he of practical use to him in almost any industry of his choosing. The lectures given in the mechanical department are sup' l ported by extensive test and design laboratory practice. Dr. A. J. Miles, Chairman of Mechanical Dept.

This twofstory brick building, one hundred feet by sixty feet, erected in 1902, contains the Mechanical Engineering Def partment. The first floor houses the stock and tool rooms, forge shop, and machine shop. Cutaway models of engines and pumps are in the shops for demonstration purposes. Un the second floor are found the finest and most upftofdate drafting equipment for the more advanced courses in mechanical design. With the influx of new students on the campus it has become necessary to hold classes in mathematics in the classrooms on the second floor of this building. l'fi5.gf1 'fmf:'r1I,yfl,um mecAanica! cya! .cc x, 3 4 3 I A 'gif ,,f,.i',w '-'x'1 ri Q, -r ff 1 173,-' ,, :W l. , f f QQ'-Agri, 0. ,fb ,N Q J 5,1 X V ff I. -A p .V vm I , f 4 .

ll This twofstory, concrete and brick, Hrefproof building, com' pleted in 1926, and which has recently been devoted to Mining Engineering, is well equipped with facilities to present every phase of the Work. On the first floor is the display with models of different types of mines, scale models of screening plants, an aereal tramway, head frames, ore bins, and types of timbering, geologic models, rock drills mounted to show the details of their operation and mechanism, mine safety and rescue apparatus, blasting tools and materials. In the Petroleum Engineering Laboratory on the second floor is apparatus for testing petroleum, products and for determining the porosity and permeability of oil bearing sand.
