College of Engineering The primary objective of the College of Engineering is to prepare students to enter the professional practice of engi- neering. Graduates from this college serve Tennessee, the South, and the nation. They enter industrial production, trans- portation, communication, and many government jobs; they do designing, construction, operations, and research work. The College of Engineering has eight major curricula in which a student may specialize. They are chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, metallurgical, and nuclear engineering, and engineering physics. In addition, the Depart- ment of Engineering Drawing serves all engineering students. Two study plans are offered the prospective engineer. He may enter the regular undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree after four years of study, or he may enroll under the cooperative plan at the beginning of his sophomore year. In this plan he alternately spends three months at the University and three months in industry doing work related to his major interest. The cooperative student receives his degree at the end of five years. A binary program in engineering education has been intro- duced. The College of Engineering has entered into agree- ments with a number of liberal arts colleges to give a five-year program, three years at the liberal arts colleges and two years at the University cooperating college will give a degree. At the end of the fifth year, the college will give the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Cultural and disciplinary values of engineering training give the graduate an excellent preparation for life, whether he finds his career in engineering or in some other professional field.
