MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 237 mometer car and the railway test car described under the equipment of the department gives unexcelled opportunities for experimental railway engineering. Advanced constructive work in the shops is assigned to groups of students, in order to impress upon them the intimate relation existing between the designing room and the shop. Carpenter's Experimental Engineering. I.; M., F.; arrange time; (4). II.; F.; 1; (1). Mr. OLIVER. Professor BRECKENRIDGE, Mr. SCHMIDT, and Required: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2, 3; Mechanical Engineering 1 to 7, 14. 13. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY.—This is a labora- tory course for students in other departments of the Engineering College. The student is taught to apply the indicator to different engines and to make the usual calculations of horse power and steam consumption as given by the diagrams. Correct forms of reducing motions are explained. The reading of indicator diagrams and valve setting are also taught. Indicator Practice and Steam Engine Economy—F. F. Hemenway. II.; Th., F.; 6, 7, 8; (2). Mr. OLIVER. Required: 14. Mechanical Engineering 1, 2; Math. 7, 9. HIGH SPEED STEAM ENGINE AND VALVE GEARS.—In this course the relations between piston speed, expansion, and quiet running are carefully studied. The student is given the problem of designing an engine that will develop a prescribed maximum and minimum horse power and run smoothly at all loads within its range. Each part of a complete engine is designed, and detailed drawings made and traced, so that each member of the class may have a complete set of blue prints. The application of graphical diagrams as an aid in the study and design of valves for steam distribution in the engine cylinder is carefully brought out. Determination of the dimensions of steam passages, single valve gears, double valve gears, equalization of steam distribution, application of diagrams to existing types of engines. A critical study of the shaft governor. Klein's High Speed Steam Engine. I.; Tu., W., Th.; 2, 3, 4; (3). Assistant Professor GOODENOUGH. Required: Mechanical Engineering 1 to 7, 16, 17; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2. 16. STEAM ENGINES.—A study of the details ofv steam engines. Elementary principles of transformation of heat into work. Laws of expansion of steam. The mechanics of the steam engine. Valves and valve gears. The indicator diagram, condensers, steam jackets,
