DEPARTMENT OI CIVIL ENGINEERING, headed by James H. llurdough, is designed to prepare the student to enter any of the following fields of en- deavor: highway engineering, structural engineering, hy- draulic and sanitary engineering and surveying and geo- desy. Besides these special fields the curriculum is broad enough to permit a graduate to enter into many other fields, such as aeronautical structural design. This de- partment cooperates with the Department of Geology in offering the degree of Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering, Geology Option. DEPARTINIENT QE ELECTRICAL ENGI- NEERING, supervised by Charles Y. Bullen, offers op- portunities and vocations in a great variety of engineering endeavors. It is one of the newest branches of engineer- ing. The purpose of the course is to give basic and com- prehensive training in those fundamental principles of electricity required for a thorough understanding of elec- trical circuits, apparatus, and machinery. DEPARTMENT Ol INDUSTRIAL ENGI- NEERING AND ENGINEERING DRAXVING. headed by O. A.
