44 Illinois Industrial University, grees of expansion, and the possib.e defects of valve movement in distribution of steam. In strength of materials the st jd' nt determi les the modulus of rupture and the coefficient of elasticy of several kinds of building material. In hydraulics the flow of water through orifices of •different form, is studied experimentally. In mechanism each student solves an original problem involving mechanical movements. APPARATUS. This school is provided with plates and a cabinet of models illustrating mechanical movements and elementary combinations •of mechanism. This collection is rapidly increasing bv our own manufacture, and by purchase from abroad. It includes many of Riggs' models, and others from the celebrated manufactory of J. Schroeder, of Darmstadt, Germany. About two hundred valuable models from the United States Patent Office are also included in the cabinet. The State has provided a large Mechanical Laboratory and Workshop furnished_with complete sets of tools, benches, vises, and forges. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING COURSE. Required for the Degree of B.
