Department ef Mechanical En ineerins JOHN HUMPHRIES, M.E., Head of Depart, in, if R E. McCleaiy, B.S. in M.E. C. A. Jackson, B.S. in E.E. William S. Watts, B.S. in M.E. A very large number of Mechanical Engineers are finding employ- ment in designing and manufacturing automobiles and trucks. A con- siderable number devote themselves to aeronautical and rail transporta- tion. For many years many competent men have been required to design, maintain, and operate marine power plants. The graduate usually begins as an assistant, doing the routine work of the plant. Later on he will be called upon to design, operate, and manage. Promotion may lead to that of Chief Mechanical Engineer for the whole company. Nineteen
