Moultrop SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING The School of Engineering, constantly devel- oping in an effort to meet the demands of indus- try ' , now offers seven curricula — Chemical, Civil, Electric al, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineer- ing (with an option in Aeronautics), also. Phy- sics and Engineering Mathematics. All curricula have a common first year and during the second semester of that year, the students arc given a course in Engineering Orientation so as to enable them to select their field of specialization more intelligently. Through the Engineering Experiment Station, the School is expanding its program of indus- trial research and providing added facilities to aid the industries of the State in solving some of their problems. A new laboratory ' in Sanitary Engineering has been equipped and is being used both for instructional purposes and for research in industrial waste pollution. Also, in the metal- lurgy field, a laboratory in Heat Treating is in the process of being installed and should be ready for operation in the fall of 1949. 20

Christopher SCHOOL OF HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics as a branch of education at Rhode Island State College began in 1908. In a re-organization of the College in 1938, Home Economics and Agriculture were combined in one school. In 1946, Home Economics was re-estab- lished as a separate school. In addition to the lab- oratories and classrooms in Quinn Hall, the School of Home Economics conducts a Nursery School in Watson House and classes in institu- tion management in the Lippitt Hall Cafeteria. In addition to these facilities there is a Home Management House used by the students for actual family living experience. The objectives of the program of study in Home Economics is to provide educational opportunities for the development of the individual as a person and as a citizen, for home and family life, and for professional and pre-professional training. In the early history of its development, education in Home Economics consisted largely of teaching the efficient performance of household skills. The field has broadened its scope as women’s status had changed and as vocational opportunities have opened for women. Basic study in the bio- logical, physical, and social sciences is an impor- tant part of the required study during the fresh- man and sophomore years. Opportunity for spe- cialized study in one of the five curricula is planned for the junior and senior years. 22
