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.

It is the only college of home economics in Tennessee and is one of the outstanding colleges in the nation. The study of home economics offers girls the opportunity to prepare for their two most cherished goals—a career and the managing of their own home. No other college program offers these two opportunities at the same time. The College of Home Economics is a major unit of the University of Tennessee, the Land Grant College for Ten- nessee. This means that the total home economics program of The University of Tennessee includes not only resident teaching through the College of Home Economics but also research through the Experiment Station, and Extension Serv- ices through tne Home Demonstration and 4-H Club pro- grams. This highly effective combination makes The University of Tennessee a first choice for the study of home economics. Within the College of Home Economics students may specialize in child development and family relations, foods and institution management, home management, home eco- nomics education, home demonstration methods, nutrition, related arts and crafts, or textiles and clothing. Students also have a choice of a wide variety of electives from other colleges. Courses during the first two years are designed to promote the students' general education as individuals, citizens, and future homemakers. The junior and senior years are designed for professional education, offering specialization in the vari- ous areas of home economics. The achievement of better everyday living in better homes is the major goal of the College. This includes both the science and the art of better living through food that is both satisfying and nutritionally adequate: clothing that is both artistic and economical: houses that are convenient, com- fortable. and beautiful: individuals who are well-adjusted, cooperative members of the family: parents who understand the care and training of children and the achieving of happy family relations.
