IIIE The engineer is constantly seeking a Wider Held for his specialized training. It is surprising to note the wafrious lines- of activity now employing professionally trained engineers, lines in which a few years ago technioal knowledge was considered quite unnecessary. The propontion of graduates wlho are not employed in the engineering profession is very large. Tlhe technical training gained here is being used in many different industries, and in many different parts of the world. The Engineering College has ialvways done much in the Way of practical reseanch, and the field seems -even larger an-d Wider than ever before. In dhis direction vat least there is no limit to the efxtenlt of service, for the community -and state. The College of Enigineerin-g offers to the undergraduate instruction in the three departments of Civil, Electrical, and lldechanical Engineering, each leading to a de- gree. Graduates of thie College of Ants and Sciences may complete fthe oofurrses in Engineering in two years by ia proper choice of electives for their first degree.

IID ' A .-.- - l -N - 1- 1 QQ! Qi Pl -V Tlhie College off Engineering is first of all a school for the training of engineers, and its woirlc must be judged largely by the success of its grad- uates. A very important function of the college, but secondary to tha-t of instruction, is research in the applied sciences re-lalting to practical en- gineering problems. The Work of the pirofessionial engineer is rapidly becoming more im-po-rftant in 'the Welfare of the stzute and the nation. The En- gineering College must take the responsibility for the training of, not engineers but men who have the capacity to become engineers. The engineer- inig curriculum is carefully selected with 'these re- quirements in view, and emphasis is placed upon those subjects which serve as fundamental tnain- ing, rather than those that deal only With ques- tions of practice. These latter can be more read- Dean Votey ily randi effectively learned in actual practice t'h-an in school, and the short period of four years can- not be given up to Work thaxt can rnoire proiiftiably be learned outside. Pnofiicienicy in engineering, as in any other pirofessiioin, requires many years of seasoning in actual pnaiotical Wo-rk. 25 JI IU
