' 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

' Department Of Civil Engineering The work of the Civil Engineering course is intended to teach the students the fundamentals of civil engineering practice, and to point out the importance of sound theory as the basis of all practical engineering problems. It is also intended to give the sources from which they can find the information necessary to make successful surveyors, highway, municipal, and railroad engi¬ neers, and to help structural engineers in timber, steel, and concrete design. The civil engineer does not always achieve his greatest success from his background of technical training, although the habit of thought acquired during this period often trains him for executive and administrative work. The planning and executing of important work bring to the surface qualities of leadership. Biographies of great men reveal that many of them were civil engineers. The exactness of reasoning instilled in the mind of the student is such that he be¬ comes a thinker and a builder who can build and organization as well as a structure. When one considers the many different branches of the work and the possibilities of each, it seems reasonable to think that one’s opportunities are unlimited in this great field.
