126 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. 1. Shop Practice A.—In the shops the students are advanced in the work as fast as their ability will permit. The work, as far as possible, is carried along the same lines as those practiced in our leading commercial shops. The exercises are in general chosen from parts of machines under construction, being carefully graded according to the skill of the student. The policy of the department is to give the student every possible advantage and to teach him to produce accurate work in the shortest possible time. Beginning with the care and use of the tools with which he is to work, the student is carried through the various operations of machine shop practice. The following outlines the work in the several shops as laid down for the regular classes, the work of the several terms being subject to transposition. First Term, Wood Shop.—Primary exercises relating to the use and care of tools, and the construction of a series of exercises in joint work and turning preparatory to pattern making. Second Term, Wood Shop.—The work of this term is devoted largely to the making of patterns and core boxes, particular attention being given to the principles of molding. Third Term, Foundry—The student here receives instruction in the management of the cupola and molding, including green and dry sand core making.
