A new curriculum in civil engineering makes provision for those who wish to specialize in the administration of the technical work of large cities. This course will be known as “management engineering” and combines with the technical course a group of courses in business administration and accounting which are needed in this field, and also a study of the problems of sanitation arising in city work. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING G RADUATES of this division have found their way into nearly every serious engineering enterprise of the Northwest, besides appearing in nearly every country of the globe. In addition to the standard courses in electrical engineering given with little change by all of the large schools of the country, the State College offers a special course in hydro-electrical engineering which is planned particularly for Northwest conditions, and also a new course in com¬ mercial-electrical engineering for those who wish to enter the business side of the great public utility corporations or other commercial phases of electrical engineering. r | M 1 ' I l as Y Y Y Y Y j If Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y If Y ri¬ le Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y 7 wen ty-scz ' cn

( p t r b i i $ i i COLLEGE OF MECHANIC ARTS ( ENGINEERING- A s S the immortal Mr. Dooley once remarked to his friend Hennessy: “Hennessy, ,, says ' he, “a dimmi- crat is a poor but proud citizen who thinks for himself—wrong; while a ray- publican is a rich but hum ' ble plutocrat who hires someone to think for him— right.” The definitions are probably not orthodox with either political party, and in the same way any definition of the word “engineer” which has been given would not pass muster with either the en¬ gineer’s friends or his enemies, but it is the first duty of an engineering college to think out for itself, or otherwise, a good enough definition of an engineer so that it can pro¬ ceed to train one. The State College of Washington has for many years offered a considerable variety of engineering courses, and to date it seems impossible to say which division has turned out the lar¬ gest percentage of successful engineers; consequently, it has been de¬ cided to undertake the training of some additional varieties. The fol¬ lowing descriptive statements will show the breadth of choice now open to the new student entering the State College. Dean Carpenter ?! i r T i f f i f T If f If If ! t t l ! m I L I 1 !
