Bull session , Mechanical Engineering Department Mechanical Engineering is a large field and quite extensive in scope, I here are numerous pro- fessional divisions such as: power plant design, machine design, shop practice, applied mechanics, refrigeration, air conditioning, etc. The mechanical engineering field is obviously too extensive to cover thoroughly in all its divisions in four years. The univeisity curriculum for mechanical engineering students is therefore perhaps more fundamental and has less specialization than other engineering cur- ricula. This enables the student to choose his option later in his college course or to change divisions later in life to conform to his interests or the trend of industrial progress. 28

Mechanical Engineering Department When a student reaches the hitter part of his college career at the Missouri School of Mines, he may specialize in power plant design or machine design. Tile student may also take electives in the other divisions of mechanical engineering. The main option stressed by the department is power plant design for it lies up all of the basic courses in the heat and power fields. It is the prime objective of this department to give the student a comprehensive training in the fundamentals of mechanical engineering which w ill be of practical use to him in almost any industry of his choosing.
