GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

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. Fall, winter, and spring terms, full study. Mr. CURTISS and Mr. WILSON.

2. SHOP PRACTICE.—First Term, Forge Shop.—Instruction

is given in the forging and welding of iron and steel, special attention being given to the forging and tempering of lathe and planer tools, annealing, and case hardening. Second Term, Machine Shop.—During this term the student receives instruction in chipping, filing, and elementary lathe and planer work. Third Term, Machine Shop.—Lathe, planer, drill, shaper, or bench work. Fall, winter, and spring terms, half study. Term, Machine Shop.—Lathe, planer, milling machine, grinding machine, or bench work. Second Term, Machine Shop.—Advanced work on any of the machines in the shop, or erecting and fitting. Fall and winter terms, half study. Assistant Professor VANDERVOORT, Mr. CLARK, Mr. CURTISS, and Mr. JONES. Mr. OLAEK and Mr. JONES. 3. SHOP PRACTICE AND LABORATORY.—First

Third Term.-;—Mechanical Engineering Laboratory.—This is the beginning of the work in the mechanical engineering laboratory. The course is designed to meet the needs of the student in electrical engineering and to acquaint him with the various instruments and methods used in engine and boiler testing. Considerable work is done with the indicator, and a study of diagrams obtained under different conditions is undertaken. Spring term, half study. Professor BRECKENRIDGE and MR. WOOD.

Required: Mechanical Engineering 1, 2, 5, 6. 4. ELEMENTS or MACHINE DESIGN.—The basis of this work is found in Klein's Elements of Machine Design. A series of plates 26x40 inches is constructed, covering a wide range of machine parts. There are 334 formulas, empirical and rational, the use and derivation of which are explained. By means of a large number of practical examples, sufficient drill is obtained in using them to enable the student to make the calculations required when designing ' such parts of machines as screw threads, nuts and bolts, rivets and riveted
