audscape pbruchitecture Base modern Landscape Architect, through cooperative planning with other specialists in many fields, works to design a better environment for living. Landscape Architecture is a field which has seen little real design development since the late nineteenth century. Today, technical training in architecture, road construction. drain ace lan deaf tiie hein materials and horticulture is coupled with such social sciences as history, economics, psychology and city planning. Two dimen- sional design on paper based on the under- standing of the client’s needs is translated into three dimensional reality. Now no longer an isolated “art”, Landscape Ar- chitecture has been integrated with the other phases of planning and has received a new and exciting impetus.

ENACITY and clear thinking characterize the students of machine design as | Bees plot the rotations, loci, and reciprocations of the basic mechanisms, and later combine these elements for a specifie purpose. For the movements thus de- veloped, adequate strength of members must be assured through proper calculation and knowledge of materials. Methods of production and manufaeture are acquired through the operation of power equipment and the use.of hand tools in the working of both wood and metal. Thus deyelops the practice requiredsto build a successful career in machine design. Originally keyed to the local machine tool industries, the mechanical program now places q ualified men ‘in varied technical fields that include the armament, elec- trical manufacturing and aircraft industries.
