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

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING M ECHANICAL Engineering prepares men for the great fields of manufacturing, power production, transportation, etc., their multitude of ramifications and subdivisions, ranging from the designing of a caterpillar tractor to the perfecting of an automatic machine for weaving silks, or from the testing of a 50,000 H. P. steam turbine to the development of standards of measure¬ ments bordering closely upon a millionth of an inch. Mechanical engineering is also associated with commercial training in the new course in commercial-mechanical engineering. AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING I N order to accommodate young men who wish to enter the auto¬ mobile business, a group of courses has been arranged in a two- year schedule, in which the necessary fundamentals of electricity, gas engines and automobile construction are taught and a large amount of laboratory practice is included. The courses in ignition, carbur¬ etors and storage batteries have been worked out with particular care in order to make them as directly useful as possible. Students having considerable previous experience can cover the essentials of this course in one year. MATHEMATICS M ATHEMATICS is an art as well as a science; it has utili¬ tarian and aesthetic values. Those who pursue the study of Mathematics find the same pleasure in discovering harmonies of numbers, properties of space, and relations of functions which is found by other artists in poetry, painting, sculpture and music. It is impossible to progress in Mathematics without developing a creative imagination. Mathematics, logic and philosophy are three phases of the same fundamental principle. Mathematics is the science upon which most other sciences depend.
