II was organized under its present name in 1900, and became a distinct department in 1904, em!)racing Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Metallurgical Engineering. Belie ing that the practice of engineering could best be learned in the actual works, the Engineering Faculty, in 1906, instituted co-operative courses, combining the theoi-y and practice of engineering. In these courses students work alternate weeks, or allernate fortnights, in college and in machine sli()i)s, foundries, electrical shops or other enter- prises that demonstrate the jiractical side of engineering. The students are divided into two sections, which alternate with each other, one section being at college while the other is doing practical work. Special instructors, who visit the shops weekly where students are at work, bring the theo- retical and practical into close connection. The co-operative course is five years in length and is in session eleven months ol the year. In addition the l niver- sity has the regular engineering course of four years. At the beginning of the academic year 1912-13, the College of Engineering had enrolled 333 students. pnge twcnty-nino
