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.
