Rockford Junior Engineering Society This student organization is made up of juniors and seniors in the Cooperative In- dustrial Course. At the present time 34 juniors and 32 seniors are serving indus- trial apprenticeships on a half-time basis while completing their high school course. These 66 boys are employed under the co- operative plan in 14 different plants. They are divided into two groups, one group attending school for two weeks while their alternates are at work in the shops. At the end of each two weeks the groups change about. Those who have been in school go to the shops while those who have been in the shops return for two weeks in school. The high school course followed by these students is a technical course pre- paratory for a college course in engineer- ing and at the same time it affords a max- imum value for the student who may re- main in the machine industry without the advantage of college training. In their apprenticeship connections these boys are engaged directly in the fundamental pro- cedures and problems of mechanical engi- neering. Mechanical engineering is their chosen field whether they are to secure college training or not. Because engineer- ing is their major interest they have or- ganized this club under the name of the Rockford junior Engineering Society with the following objectives: Qaj To promote a stronger interest in engineering among students in the Coop- erative course by providing an opportunity to bring experienced engineers before the club to present information and to discuss practical problems of industry. fbj To provide an opportunity for members to report projects of interest to the club and to participate in round table discussions of practical problems under the leadership of experienced men from the field. fcj To promote fellowship and unity of purpose among the Cooperative students through regular monthly meetings held at a time when all may meet together.
