MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 4. 235 ELEMENTS OF 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. By means of a large number of practical examples, sufficient drill is obtained in using rational and empirical formulas to enable the student to make the calculations required when designing various parts of machines. Theoretical and practical problems relating to gearing are taken up and worked out in detail. Instruction in blue printing and duplicating is included in the course. For description see Chem. 22c, p. 198. Kenfs Mechanical Engineer's Pocket-book; also Unwin's Machine Design. I. and II.; daily; 6, 7, and 8 (divides time with M.E. 2); (2^/2). Mr. RANDALL. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1, 2. 5. MECHANISM.—This course includes a study of plane motion, following the methods of Reuleaux, and a study of the nature and equivalence of mechanisms. Determination of instantaneous centers and centrodes. Determination of velocities of important points of familiar mechanisms. Construction of acceleration diagrams. The transmission of motion in mechanisms by gearing, cams, links, etc. Trains of mechanism, analysis of difficult mechanisms. Particular attention is paid to problems relating to motions of gearing, steamengine mechanisms, parallel motions of indicators, governors, link motions, valve gears, and indicator riggings. / . ; M., W., F.; 3 and 4; (3). 6. Mr. RANDALL. HEAT ENGINES.—The application of the theory of thermody- namics to gas and gasoline engines and hot air engines. A study of the modern forms of heat engines. Lectures and assigned readings. / . ; Tu., Th.; 1; (2). Professor BRECKENRIDGE. Required: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1; Physics 1, 3 ; Mechanical Engineering 7. 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. / . ; M., W., F.; 1; (3). Assistant Professor GOODENOUGH. Required: Physics i, 3. 8. Math. 9; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1; MECHANICS OF MACHINERY.—This is a study of the theo- retical principles involved in the construction of hoisting apparatus,
