MECHANICAL The profession of Mechanical Engineering covers a wide range of activities, from manufacturing and processing in¬ dustries to transportation, power generation, and plant con¬ struction; and all of these branches can be subdivided into much more specialized fields. However, when the Tech freshman selects Mechanical Engineering as the type of profession he would like to pursue, he is first confronted with the fundamental laws and theories of technology. This necessary background consisting of basic mathematics and engineering science is given to all M.E. students during their sophomore and junior years. Statics, strength of materials, dynamics, kinematics, and courses of practical application are typical requirements in this back¬ ground. By the end of his junior year at Tech, the M.E. student is expected to be adequately prepared for a more specialized field, and is allowed to select one of four options: machine design, industrial problems, heat power, or aerodynamics. Under the direction of Professor Don Zwiep, head of the M.E. Department, a weekly one-hour seminar for all the seniors has been instituted. The purpose of this seminar is to give the student the direct opportunity to suggest im¬ provements in the M.E. schedule and to express any general complaints. This seminar is just one of the many advances in the progressive M.E. Department. 28
