Prof. Roberts checks test tubes. The name Civil Engineering was originally applied to all types of engi- neering work not directly connected with military operations. At the present time, Civil Engineering still covers an extremely broad field of engineering endeavor. The Railroad, highway, hydraulic, sanitary, and structural phases of engineering may ex- emplify the wide and varied applications of the Civil Engineering field. Yet, these general divisions comprise only a por- tion of the many versatile developments accredited to the title, Civil Engineering. The field is obviously too extensive to be covered thoroughly in all its divi- sions in four years. Therefore, the stu- dent may, in addition to the fundamentals of Civil Engineering, select special train- ing at the School of Mines and Metallurgy in any of its numerous branches.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT the foundation and tools he needs to start a professional career. Organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry, mathematics, physics, me- chanics, and economics furnish the basic training. The professional as- pects are emphasized by industrial stoichiometry, chemical engineering unit operations, design and ther- modynamics. Other supporting en- gineering subjects in civil, mechani- cal, and electrical engineering com- plete the four year curriculum. The School of Mines also offers a science-chemistry option in ad- dition to training in Chemical En- gineering. Students interested in the- oretical, analytical, inorganic, or- ganic, and physical chemistry or the research and teaching of chemis- try are offered complete accredited curricula for preparation in these fields.

Surveying on the campus. DEPARTMENT The Civil Engineering Department was one of the first departments on our campus and has kept pace with the in creasing enrollment as it is now one of the largest departments at MSM. The greatest number of graduate research stu- dents are. claimed by this department. These students are employed in the many important research projects being under- taken by the department. The curriculum in Civil Engineering is designed to afford a thorough train- ing in the fundamental principles upon which the practice of Civil Engineering is founded. It is the aim of the department to prepare its graduates for technical and administrative positions in the promotion, design, construction, operation, and man- agement of engineering projects.
