Also four-year programs eom- hining engineering Avith commerce, la v, geology and other fields of study vill be Avorked out to fit tlie individual student ' s needs. All the four-year ]:)r()grams in General Engineering lead to a liachelor of Science degree in General Engineering. The vork in all foin-year cinricida stresses the mastery of the subjects fimdamental to all fields ol engineering dtning the first year. llie balance of the program is divided between the fundamentals and courses applying to the particular field selected. 1 he aim is to provide the student with such a ground Avork that the general principles acquired may be used su( cessfully in any one of the several general or specialized fields he may follow after graduation. Industrious engineering students are diligently striving to complete their intricate work. One of the biggest and most valuable of all of the new buildings is the new wing of the engineering building. 29

Engineering College has Four Departments The program of tlie Engineering College of the tlni- versity of Wyoming is organized and carried on under the following four departments; Civil and Architectural Engineering, General Engineering, Electrical Engi- neering, and Mechanical Engineering. In Civil and Architectural Engineering the four-year programs of study lead to a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil or Architectural Engineering. In Electrical Engineering the four-year program of study leads to a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Oppor- tunity is given for some specialization either in power or communications during the senior year. In Mechanical Engineering four-year programs of study are available in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering. The Me- chanical Engineering program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering and the Aeronautical program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical-Engineering with an Aeronautical option. Dean H. T. Person, of the College of Engineering has held that post since 1948. Dean Person began work on the UW faculty in 1929, and in 1935 was made professor of Engineering. The impressive structure of the Engineering Hall teaches its students a very fine principle. Strive on— Control of Nature is won, not given. Engineering graduates will be capable of exercising this control of nature. 28

Students in this commerce class learn to use the business machines skillfully and develop commercial ability. College of Commerce Business Leaders M. Clare Mundell, the Dean of the College of Commerce, effectively has worked for the construction of the new building. The College of Commerce and Industry includes fotir academic dej artnients — accounting, business admini- stration, setretarial science, and statistics, as well as a division of business and economic research. The dominant aspect of education for business is change— change in concepts and change in techniques. The aim oi the (ollege is to educate the future business leader. The approach is highly integrative and highly interdisciplinary. Courses in the college add directly to a foundation [jrogram in the College of Arts and Sciences. Sjjeciaiization at tiie imdergraduate level is kept within the general area of (ourse concentration. Other courses are presented to develop the capacities
