GENERAL DESCRIPTION- OP COURSES

principles of reestablishing corners; use of transit in finding distances, areas, and in laying out buildings; use of the level in finding profiles and contours. Baiter's Engineers' Surveying Instruments. Spring term, full study. Assistant

Professor PENCE.

Required: Math. 4; General Engineering Drawing 1, 3, 4; Physics 1. 11. STRUCTURAL DETAILS.—A study is made of joints and connections in wood and iron. Special attention is given to faulty methods of construction and to impress upon the student the importance of correctly proportioning the smallest details. Each student makes, preferably during the summer vacation preceding his senior year, a full detailed measurement of a pin-connected railway or highway bridge. In the class room he makes a drawing of the structure, computes the stresses, and reports upon the efficiency of each detail. Lectures, reference books, and drawings. Winter term, full study. Professor BAKER. Required: Math. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9; General Engineering Drawing 1, 2, 3, 4; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2; Architecture 6; and free-hand sketches with dimensions showing full details of a bridge measured by the student. COURSES FOR GRADUATES All primary unless otherwise stated. 101. 102. 103. 104. 105. 106. 107. 108. 109. 110. Each 1 credit.
