Engineering Drafting is taken by the Third Class dur- ing the Winter Term for five hours a week. The aim of. the course is to acquaint the student with the working draw- ings of Engineering construction, the plotting of survey- ing notes, and the making of estimates. Maps drawn dur- ing the course are traced and lettered. Descriptive Geometry is also continued to include Shades and Shadows, and Linear Perspective. Throughout all the drawing courses, emphasis is laid on Lettering and Standard Drafting Practice. CHEMISTRY The General Chemistry of the Metals is taken up by the Second Class during the Winter Term, especial emphasis being given to such portions as relate to the preparation and uses 'of building materials. In connection with this theoretical work, the Qualitative Analysis of simple bases and acids, by both the blow-pipe and wet methods, is prac- ticed, care being taken to familiarize the student with the properties, uses and tests of compounds in common use. Ten hours a week throughout the term are assigned to this subject. . ENGINEERING LABORATORY For determining the strength and other physical prop- erties of materials used in construction, the Laboratory has a Riehle screw machine of 50,000 pounds capacity, for ten- sion, compression and transverse stresses, the power being furnished by a two horse-power electric motorg and a Riehle cement tester of 2000 pounds capacity, with molds, sieves and measures. THESIS WORK Each student of the First Class is required to prepare a thesis on some subject germane to the course of study, under the supervision of the Professor of Engineering. The object of this instruction is to acquaint the student with the methods of handling engineering questions, and to develop originality of thought and resourcefulness of investigation. The College retains the theses and the draw- ings made to illustrate them. 2l
