studied. Finished drawings are made, involving the more important problems. Stahl and Woods'8 Principles of Mechanism. Fall term, 10 hours a week. Professor SCRIBNEB. Required: Math., 2, 4, 6. 4. (a) Engineering Materials.—The work of this course includes the characteristic properties of the materials used in construction, and their preparation. The nature and value of fuels for various purposes are also considered. (b) Steam Engineering. This subject is preparatory to the course on heat engines. The steam engine and boiler are taken up with reference to design, uses to which the different kinds are best suited, action of the parts, and general rules governing the selection and installation. Winter term, 10 hours a week. Professor SCBIBSTEE.

Required: Shop Practice A; Math., 2, 4, 6; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2. 5. Mechanics of Machinery.—In this course the dimensions of the various parts of machines are computed, the problems relative to shafting, belts, etc., are also taken up. Unwin's Machine Design. Spring term, 5 hours a week. Professor SCRIBNER. Required: Shop Practice A; Math., 2, 4, 6. 6. Heat Engines.—This course includes the problems of thermodynamics that arise in the consideration of steam, gas, and other heat engines. Peabody's Thermo-'Dynamics. Fall term, 5 hours a week. Professor SCRIBNKR. Required: Math., 2, 6, 7; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3; Shop Practice A; Mechanical Engineering, 5. 7. Machine Design.—In this course the designing of a steam engine or other machine is undertaken, the parts of which are carefully computed and designed in accordance with the best scientific practice. Fall term, 10 hours a week. Professor SCEIBNEK. Required: Math., 2, 4, 6, 7; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5. 8. Hydraulic Engines and Wind Wheels.—This is a study of the theory and practice of turbine and other water motors. Wind wheels are also considered. Bodmer's Hydraulic Engines. Winter term, 5 hours a week. Professor SCRIBNEB. Required: Math., 2, 4, 6, 7; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
