MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING Work at Stevens in economics of engineering has a major and a minor purpose. The minor purpose is to fit men for industrial and business positions, in fields such as line production, cost accountancy, investment mathe- matics, etc. The major purpose is to turn out young engineers having some rudimentary acquaintance with the way in which business is done. Thus the boy is more apt to fit in with the mechanism of modern busi- ness as it is conducted here and now. Students are shown something both of the vocabulary and attitude of pres- ent-day business. Following are the topics of the under- graduate course. Economic theory . . . Industrial and economic posi- tion of the United States . . . Accounting . . . Cost accounting . . . Mathematics and accountancy of investment, wasting assets . . . Appraisals and valu- ations . . . Utility rate structures and rate making . . . Corporation finance, analysis of financial state- ments . . . Money and banking, current develop- ment . . . Elementary statistical theory . . . Recent labor legislation. The students who elect to do so may increase the time ordinarily allotted by two-thirds, in a study of: INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING: physical location, site, equipment and facilities: management technique, or- ganization, personnel, control, training: budgeting, stores, planning, pay systems, job evolution, standards. For those students who wish to go still further, grad- uate courses are offered. WILLIAM D. ENNIS, Professor Department of Economics of Engineering Il

A ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING To carry out the general purposes of the curriculum at Stevens, this Department endeavors to meet the follow- ing demands: first, to fit graduates to enter any branch of electrical engineering and, through continuing their study, to compete successfully with graduates of more highly specialized electrical engineering courses: sec- ondly, to equip graduates entering other fields of engi- neering to deal intelligently with such electrical matters as may come within their duties and, finally, to assist in giving all graduates a broad technical education that will enable them to attack new problems with vision and con- fidence. ln the junior Year, second term, the basic physical laws and relations of electric conduction, electromag- netism, and electrostatics are discussed with reference to their engineering applications, and are illustrated by care- fully selected classroom problems and laboratory exer- cises. Throughout the Senior Year the fundamental electrical and magnetic concepts and principles are applied in the study of standard direct-current and alternating-current machinery equipment, measuring instruments, and power transmission and distribution circuits, communication systems - wire and radio - including applications of vacuum and gas-filled electronic tubes: and electrical transients. Laboratory exercises and the solution of numerous problems provide practice in the interpretation and calculation of engineering data. The Electrical Engineering Laboratories are equipped with a sufficient diversity of instruments, machines and apparatus to provide a varied program of undergraduate laboratory instruction. F. C. STOCKWELL, Professor Department of Electrical Engineering lO
