ENGINEERING COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING T H E work of this department includes instruction in the design, care and maintenance of electrical apparatus of all kinds, the generation and distribution of electrical energy, and its application in the development of power, in lighting, and in telegraphy, telephony and wireless signaling. T h e department has well appointed laboratories and a large equipment of generators, motors, transformers, measuring instruments, and other electrical apparatus essential for instruction and for scientific research. EXPERIMENT STATION to the varied requirements of modern industry. Specialized instruction is given in steam and gas power engineering, mechanical refrigeration, machine design, heating and ventilation, power transmission, t h e manufacture of machines and t h e management of manufacturing and other industrial plants. The designing rooms, shop laboratories and power laboratory are well suited to the needs of t h e department; they are comparable with the best of similar laboratories in other institutions. THE DEPARTMENT OF MINING ENGINEERING THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL ENGINEERING DRAWING department is organized to provide instruction in mechanical drawing, descriptive geometry and blue-printing which are required of all engineering students during their freshman year. I t endeavors to familiarize the student with the use of drafting instruments in the execution of drawings demanding skill in their use and in free-hand lettering, together with a knowledge of tracing and blueprinting. T h e department occupies the whole of t h e third floor of the Transportation Building. I t i& provided with a number of large and well appointed drawing rooms, lecture rooms and offices, a blue-printing room equipped with an electric blue-printing machine, washing trays and drying racks, and a printing room containing a complete printing plant. THIS T H E D e p a r t m e n t of Mining Engineering prepares students for work in the mining, preparation and t r e a t m e n t of coal and ores of all kinds, in the design and operation of metallurgical and mining plants and mining machinery, and in the field examination and prospecting of ore, coal and oil lands. I n addition, attention is given to mine surveying, t o t h e use of explosives, and t o t h e problems connected with quarrying, timbering, tunneling and shaft sinking. Because of its excellent laboratory equipment and of the proximity of extensive mines, quarries, smelters, steel works and other metallurgical establishments in Illinois, this department affords unusual opportunities for the training of mining and metallurgical engineers. THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL AND SANITARY ENGINEERING THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING engineering deals with problems connected with t h e generation and transmission of power, with the design, construction, operation and testing of machinery of all kinds, and with t h e application of power and machines MECHANICAL T H E curriculum in municipal and sanitary engineering affords training in the design, construction and operation of municipal public works, and considers generally the needs of city and community development. The department is concerned with the solution of engi11 10
