Charles M. Libove Department Of Aeronautical Engineering Quintin J. Hawthorne The field of Aeronautical Engineering, in its infancy only two decades ago, has rapidly be¬ come an established member of the engineering family. Continuous changes, developments, and advancements make this profession the most challenging of them all. In order that the student may be suitably prepared for entry into the profession, the course in Aeronautical Engineering has been organized in such a way that it is thorough in basic theory and yet sufficiently flexible in applied theory that it may be varied to fit developments in the field. A well-rounded foundation in physics, chemistry, mathematics, mechanics, and machine design supports both basic theory and applications in Aerodynamics, Aircraft Engines, Aircraft Design, and Stress Analysis. Wind tunnel testing and structural testing supplement class work in aerodynamics and structures. The goal of the course arrangement is to give the student suf¬ ficient specialized training to prepare him for entry into the specific field of Aeronautical En¬ gineering and yet not overemphasize Aeronautics to such degree that he may be unsuited in other fields of engineering.

' Department Of Chemical engineering Due to rapid industrial development, there has been a growing demand for men trained in both chemistry and engineering. The chemical engineer may find employment in a great variety of industries, such as the refining of petroleum into Gasoline, lubricating oils, and waxes; production of coal products, coke gas, light oil, and tar; processing of this tar into dyes, drugs, perfumes,; wood pulp pro¬ ducts; the manufacture of sulfuric acid, caustic soda, chlorine, and other chemicals; tanning leather; manufacture of soap and organic chemicals; cement, pottery, and other ceramic products; the extraction of metals from ores, and their purification. The chemical engineer sometimes begins his work in the chemical laboratory which makes necessary a knowledge of analytical chemistry. Even in later work this knowledge helps in the proper interpretation of analytical reports. CHEMICAL LABORATORY
