MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 213 Required: Math. 2, 4, 6; Mechanical Engineering 1, 2, 4. 7. THERMODYNAMICS.—The fundamental principles underlying the transformation of heat into work, more especially as exemplified in the steam engine, are carefully studied. Considerable attention is paid to the solution of numerous examples, such as will arise in steam, air, or gas engineering. Drill is given in the rapid and accurate use of standard steam tables. Fall term, at 8, full credit. Professor BRECKENRIDGE. Required: Math. 9; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1; Physics 1, 3. 8. MECHANICS OF MACHINERY.—This is a study of the theo- retical 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 term, Tu., W., Th., at S.so, three-fifths credit, and spring term, at 8, full credit. Professor BRECKENRIDGE. Required: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering 5, 7, 14, 15. 9. ADVANCED DESIGNING.—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, etc., are undertaken. Original Design: 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 which will 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, Reuleaux, Klein, Marks, Richards, and to use such books as Kent, Nystrom, Haswell, Taschenbuch der Hiitte, etc. Winter term, Tu., W., Th., at 9.15; spring term, Tu., W., Th., at 1.20, and F., at p, full credit. Assistant Professor VANDERVOORT and Professor BRECKENRIDGE. Required: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering 1 to 8, and 14.
