- Engineering Department Stal? Sngineering The Academy grants to its graduates a Bache- lor of Science degree in general engineering. The seemingly impossible task of transforming a group of casual but very eager young men into Coast Guard engineers was placed squarely on the shoulders of Captain Phannemiller and his well qualilied Engineering Department. Our first contact with Engineering was De- scriptive Geometry and Engineering Drawing. Until the beginning of our second class year, except for practical training in the engine room of the Eagle, we saw little of this department. From then on. however, we were to be haunted continually by FZMA and EIIZ. Second class year meant a thorough exposure to Electrical Engineering, Thermodynamics. Fluid Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Materials of Engineering, 16 and Power Engineering. Power Engineering con- tinued into first class year and was highlighted by the design of a complete shipis propulsion plant. Few of us will ever forget the hours spent in Captain Phannemiller's class wondering who would be called on next to step to the tiring line. First class year brought with it Ship Construc- tion and Stability, and Electronics. We learned the theory and practical application of the prin- ciples of radio. In Ship Design Lab we designed our own ship, which was to be propelled by the machinery designed in Power Lab. lt has been a long, hard struggle. but we feel confident that we have gained invaluable knowl- edge that will enable us to perform the duties of a Coast Guard otlicer and to continue our education at a graduate level.
