34 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. FOURTH YEAR. 1. Mental Science; Heat Engines; Machine Drawing. 2. Constitutional History; Hydraulic Engines and Wind Wheels; Estimates. 3. Political Economy; Dynamo-Electric Machinery; Machine Drawing. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. The University is now prepared to offer, as a second course in the department of Mechanical Engineering, a full course of Electrical Engineering. The first two years of this course will be identical with those of Mechanical Engineering, which evidently furnishes the only rational foundation upon which an electrical course may be built. The mechanical course has already offered such an amount of instruction in electrical specialties as has enabled its graduates to take service promptly and efficiently in electrical work. A well equipped electrical laboratory will be open in the fall term, with dynamos, motors, batteries, and all forms of instruments for the theoretical and practical discussion of the subject in all its phases, for measuring electric forces, and for testing electric apparatus. COURSE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, Leading to the Degree of B. S. In the first and second years, this course is identical with the course in Mechanical Engineering. THIRD YEAR. 1. Analytical Mechanics ; Chemistry ; Mechanism. 2. Resistance of Materials ; Chemistry ; Engineering Materials. 3. Mill Work ; Hydraulics ; Dynamo-Electric Machinery. FOURTH YEAR. 1. Mental Science ; Heat Engines ; Electric Measurements. 2. Constitutional History ; Hydraulic Engines and Wind Wheels ; Electrical Laboratory. 3. Political Economy ; Electrical Transmission of Power; Electrical Laboratory. CIVIL ENGINEERING. OBJECT. The design is to furnish a course of theoretical instruction, accompanied and illustrated by a large amount of practice, which will enable the student to enter intelligently upon the various and important duties of the civil engineer.
