PROJECTS PROJECTS. The Designing, Drawing and Shop Practice, have always a definite practical purpose. The student under the immediate direction of teachers, carefully determine the dimensions and shapes best suited for the parts of some machine, reduce them to neat and accurate working drawings and make tracings for shop use. In the fourth year the drawings are completely finished with line-shading or colors, and detailed according to the best methods. Specimen drawings are left for the use of the School. No student will commence his shop practice without working drawings. The designs are such as require execution in iron, brass and wood, for the purpose of giving breadth of practice.
