On the shoulders of the department heads rests the work of planning the Institute curricula, one of the most important responsibilities in the college. A college is judged by the preparation of the men who graduate, and this depends very much on how well the courses of instruction are taught. However, a collection of well taught courses does not make a curriculum. They must be planned to give the widest breadth of view in the few years that potential engineers can give to formal education. Several of our heads of departments have been given leaves of absence. Being experts in their resepective fields, they have been required for special tasks. In leaving Tech for their important work, they have brought honor to the college. Meanwhile, other members of their departments have accepted the responsibility for carrying on. There are ten subject-departments, o f which five grant degrees. Those departments granting degrees offer the courses of professional and scientific training, while the other five departments provide supplementary training needed by a successful engineer.
