courses of the first two years at Purdue plus Valpo's courses in religion. Head of the department is Professor Howard Wilson Moody. Other instructors in the department are Professors Carl Lau- ritzen, Moses Walter Uban, and Herman Blickensderfer. The primary aim of the department is to give the student a broad foundation in both the theory and practice of engineer- ing. Inspection trips to various industrial plants are arranged and conducted by members of the engineering faculty. These trips are designed to correlate the work of the department with the various types of industrial industries visited. Valpo is located about fifty miles from Chicago, one of the world's greatest railroad and industrial centers, giving the student on easy access, through the inspection trips, to engineering work of the first magnitude. As a further aid to students of engineering, the Engineer- ing Society has been organized. At the regular meetings, papers are presented by students, faculty members and en- gineers prominent in industry, upon subjects of general en- gineering interest. The society also sponsors receptions for new students and field trips and banquets. ENGINEERING MOSES W. UBAN CARL LAURITZEN ENGINEERING LAB Asst. Prof. of Mechanical Asst.

Page Twenty-four HOWARD W. MOODY Dean THROUGH on action by the Board of Directors this year, Valparaiso has arranged with Pur- due University, two cooperative plans for students of engineering. At the end of this school year, instruction in advanced engineering courses will be discontinued. Under the first plan the student will spend three years at Valparaiso and two at Purdue. During the three years at Valpo he will take all the freshman and sophomore courses offered at Purdue, plus the cultural and religious require- ments for all Liberal Arts graduates. Upon com- pletion of his first year in engineering at Purdue, the student will receive his BA. from Valparaiso, and after the second, the 3.8. in civil, electrical, mechanical or chemical engineering from Purdue. Under the second plan the student will spend two years at Valpo and two at Purdue, receiving his 3.5. on completion of his fourth year. At Valpo he will take all the required engineering COLLEGE OF HERMAN BLlCKENSDERFER Instructor in Civil Engineering
