Mechanical Engineering The mechanical engineer transforms different forms of energy into various types of motion, or transfers one type of motion to another. His field is by far most in evidence in this age of machinery. The emphasis placed on the stream- lining and functual designing of modern airplanes, automobiles, household appli- ances, and many other products, has made the mechanical engineer one of the most versatile in the scientific professions.

Successful completion of a four year course in Military Science and Tactics quali- fies a Rose graduate for a commission in the Reserve Officer Corps of the United States Army Engineers. This privilege was extended to Rose in 1919 when an En- gineer Unit was established under the provisions of the National Defense Act of 1916. The four year course is subdivided into a basic two-year course which is at- tended by all freshmen and sophomores and an advanced course of the two addi- tional years plus six weeks of summer camp at some recognized army station. The advanced course may be elected only by qualified upper classmen. The Rose Unit has a fine record of precision and spirit in its participation in the annual Armistice Day and Armed Forces Day parades. An annual federal in- spection at which visiting officers from various branches of the United States Armed Forces review and inspect the unit adds not only to the color of the year but also encourages the student to develop his initiative, confidence, and ability. 30
