time is divided between the drawing room and the machine shop. Fait, winter, and spring terms, full study. Mr. ANDERSON and Mr.

PHILLIPS.

Required: General Kngineering Drawing, i, 2, 3. 3. Mechanism.—In this course the student takes up the parts of machines with reference to the production of required motions. The various forms of gear wheels, cams, link work, etc., are studied. Finished drawings are made, involving the more important problems. Stahl and Woods's Principles of Mechanism. Fall term, full study. Professor SCRIBNER.

Required: Math., 2, 4, 6; Mechanical Engineering, 1, 2. 4. (a) Engineering Materials.—The work of this course includes the characteristic properties of the materials used in construction, and theif preparation. The nature and value of fuels for various purposes are also considered. (i) Steam Engineering. This subject is preparatory to the course on heat engines. The steam engine and boiler are taken up with reference to various designs, uses to which the different kinds are best suited, action of the parts, and of steam within the engine. (c) Valve Gears. This is drawing room work and consists of anal- ysis of the simple slide valve, of cut-off valves, and common valve gears by means of diagrams. Winter term, full study. Professor

SCRIENER.

Required: Shop Practice A; Math., 2, 4, 6; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2; and for (c) Mechanical Engineering, 1, 2, 3. 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, full study. Professor SCRIBNER. Required: Math., 2, 4, 6; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 1, 2; Mechanical Engineering,

1, 2, 3.

6. Heat Engines.—This course includes the problems of thermo-dynamics that arise in the consideration of steam, gas, and other heat engines. Peabodfs Thermo-Dynamics. Fall term, full study. Professor SCRIBNER. •

Required: Math., 2, 4, 6, 7; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering, 1, 2, 4. 7. Machine. Design.—In this course there is undertaken the designing of a steam engine or other machine, the parts of which are carefully
