MECHANICAL ENGINEERING It is the object of this course to give the student a thorough training in the theoretical principles underlying the science of machines and mechanics, and at the same time to make him practically familiar with some of the numerous applications o.f these principles. EQUIPMENT The equipment of this department is arranged for work of three kinds—class and drawing room work, laboratory work, and shop practice. The drawing rooms are equipped with modern desks, boards, filing cabinets, card indexes, reference books, catalogues, odontographs, gear charts, tables, etc. In the cabinet rooms are kinematic models and sectioned steam specialties, many of which were donated by the manufacturers. The steam engineering laboratory is in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Laboratory. It contains nine steam engines available for testing purposes. The facilities for boiler testing are excellent. There are several types of boilers equipped with different kinds of automatic stokers. There are also various kinds of steam and power pumps and numerous steam specialties arranged for tests. The laboratory contains three gas engines, an air compressor, a hot air engine, a large volume fan, and a complete outfit of instruments used by the mechanical engineer for testing purposes. The pumping station and power plants of the two cities furnish additional apparatus for experimental work. The shops of the College are in charge of this depart-
