Horsepower, torque, speed, and clouds of exhaust . . . . The Studebaker engine. The place of the modern mechanical engineer is apparent in this age of machines. With increasing demands for the transformation of the potential of our natural resources into kinetic energy and consequently into work, the demand for men of applied knowledge in this field is great. The mechanical engineering course is therefore designed to give the fundamental background of mathematics and science required in the analysis and solution of technical problems. 16

Meters, meters, everywhere, but each with a definite place. The electrical engineering course at Rose is regulated to give the student an understanding of the basic principles and elements underlying the main fields of power, communication, and illumination, which are so important in everyday life. 15

Mechanical Engineering The Clerk “one-lunger” .. . ancestor of modern gas engines and a tutor of Li basic principles. “All rounds and fillets 1 4 inch unless otherwise specified ...” Drawing—the engineering code of communication. The student of mechanical engineering is also prompted to develop his ingenuity through applied problems in industrial production, power producing and utilizing machines, and the mechanisms by which energy transformations and work may be accomplished. 17
