Engineering Division offers variety Slipstick masters numbered 689 this year as the Engineering Division en- rollment ranked third behind Science and Applied Arts and Agriculture. The division offers majors in agricultural, civil, mechanical and electrical engi- neering and engineering physics. In addition, the mathematics department is under the jurisdiction of the engi- neering division although the mathe- matics major is classed in SAA. Most of the engineering curricula re- quire more hours than any other pro- gram on campus. The engineering student is required to take a certain number of courses in the humanities and social science fields in addition to advanced technical courses in his major.
