16 DEPARTMENT OF MACHINE DESIGN THIS DEPARTMENT is unique in that it follows a cognate engineering program specializing in the design of industrial machinery. It is closely related to mechanical engineering but is distinc- tive in that the students upon graduation are well versed in the methods of modern mass production and are ready actually to produce the day they go to work. This is due to the careful training in Engineering Drawing which is followed by Ma- chine Elements, Kinematics, Tool Design and finally Machine Design. The student has not only learned to portray any three dimensional object on two dimensional paper, but he has also learned what good design is and how to improve existing designs. Behind this industrial know- how is an excellent mathematical background which carries the student through Integral Cal- culus. Mathematics is vitally important in the study of statics, dynamics, strength of materials,

analytical machine design, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. Physics, chemistry and metallurgy round off the technical side of the training. In order that the graduate may be a better man for himself, his family and also for his employer, a well-balanced program of liberal arts courses is also provided. As for the future of the graduate, it now ap- pears that he will be ever more in demand in the coming years. Automation plays directly into his DONALD BENSON, Shrewsbury, Massa- chusetts.

The machine designer will someday sit back in the leisure time provided by his twenty-five hour work week and say, “This I have helped to con- tribute to humanity. A man may now not wear himself out with physical toil from dawn to dusk but he has leisure time and the opportunity to enjoy the finer things of life.” GILBERT S. STAFFORD Head, Department of Machine Design
