UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

Bequired: Math, 7, 8, 9; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1; Physics 1, 3. 8. MECHANICS OP MACHINERY.—This is a study of the theoretical principles involved in the construction of such machinery as comes under the head of hoisting apparatus, pumping engines, air- compressors, fans, blowers, machinery for transmitting power, locomotives, pile drivers. Winter and spring terms, full study. Mr. BURNHAM. Bequired: Math. 7, 8, 9; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering 5, 6, 7, 11. 9. MACHINE DESIGN.—This work follows the design of a high-speed steam engine, and comes under two heads : Advanced Design.—Under this head the work begins with simple machines and extends to more difficult designs as the student progresses. The design of attachments to existing machines, or the complete design of some machine that can be built in the shops, is often a part of this work. Such designs as hoists, pumps, drills, lathes, shapers, water motors, etc., are undertaken and the student is supplied with the same information as he would be in commercial offices for this kind of work. Original Designs.—In this work the student's previous training in designing is combined with his inventive ability, and often valuable and ingenious work is done. The machines are to be designed for accomplishing a certain prescribed work. Often but a single piece is handed the student, and a machine is required to produce a given number of these pieces per hour. A large amount of study of existing machines is required. The student is taught to consult the standard works on designing, such as Unwin, Beuleaux, Klein, Maries, Bichards, and to use such pocket books as Nystroni, Hasvxll, Taschenbuch der Suite, etc. Winter and spring terms, full study. Mr. WOOD. Bequired; Math. 7, 8, 9; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering 1 to 8, and 11. 10. ESTIMATES.—Calculations and estimates are made as to the cost of machinery, power, plants, boilers, chimneys, systems of piping, engines and their foundations, different methods of power transmission. Also forms of contracts and specifications are studied. Spring term, full study. Assistant Professor VANDERVOOBT. Bequired: Math. 7, 8, 9: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2. 3; Mechanical Engineering 1 to 6, 9, 11, 12.
