$M3W9$$h$$g$ih THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING ' HE College of Engineering began with a professorship A in Civil Engineering in the College of Liberal Arts; and, though organized under its present name in 1900, -- did not become a distinct department until 1904. At present the College of Engineering offers two courses: a four- year theoretical course, similar to that given in other institu- tions, and a five-year co-operative course, in which the students Spend alternate bi-weekly periods in practical application of the knowledge gathered in the lecture rooms and laboratories of the University. Co-Operative students are required to obey all regulations of the company with which they work, and are subject to all existing labor laws. They are paid for their work in the sheps at the same rate as other employes. A new minimum wage scale has been agreed upon by co-Operating firms, taking effect July 1, 1913. The new rate begins at 15 cents an hour and in- creases one cent an hour every year for students with no ex- perience. Those Who have had previous experience are paid What their services are worth. The University makes no guarantee above the minimum scale agreed upon, but uses every effort to place students to their best advantage. The curriculum of the college includes Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Metallurgical Engineering. In 1912 3 Bureau of City Tests was established in connec- tion with the Engineerts Ohice of the Department of Public Service of the city, where the benefit to student and city is mutual. tpag'e twenty-threeJ
