J.:; : U pecil Courses Geared to War Work Offered Military Men Join Enquire Students in Similar Courses Less than 100 freshmen will be enrolled in the engineering college for the fall term, taking technical coursesin keeping with war-time re- search and special emerge*cy train- ing. Military, Civilian Courses Similar Under the direction of Dean Ivan . Crawford, regular engineering curricula will be,.offered side by side with specialized Army and Navy courses and streamlined civilian war training." Directly in line with new and important war work is the train- ing in electronics offered juniors and seniors taking electrical engi- neerifig. In a special series of courses given by Prof. Lewis N. Holland, radio en- gineering and training in ultra-high frequency techniques are taught, leading to graduate work in radar: A new laboratory for work in elec- tronics was completed this year to prepare students for graduate work with radar in other parts of the country. Completion of the program here may entitle the graduate to enter the Army Signal Corps or an equivalent branch of the Marines or Navy for actual work with radar. 'Platics Courses Offered Other wartime civilian programs include work in plastics offered by the chemical engineering depart- ment. All types of plastics are stud- ied and actually experimented with in laboratory' work. The different types of synthetic rubber now used to produce tires are dealt with, as well as styrene, which is used for electrical insulation, radio and tele- vision sets and vinyl plastics which make fireproof insulation, transpar-, ent belts, billfolds and watch straps., Also offered by the chemical and metallurgical departments are courses designed to train the stu-. dent in the processes of evapora- tion, distillation, heat transference, air conditioning, refrigeration, fil- tration, metallography, gas fuel and combustion. An immense lab- oratory in which students actually set up and run equipment offers practical training in these phases of engineering. Within the electrical engineering department, in addition to pre-radar training, electrical power engineer- ing, electrical communications, illu- mination engineering and industrial electrical engineering will be empha- sized. Many Laboratories Available Laboratories in dynamo, commun- ications, photometrics, electronics, heat transfer and power plant engi- neering are available for students taking these courses.I Largest undergraduate division of the. engineering college, the mechanical engineering depart- ment offers courses and laborator-" ies in steam power, internal com-. bustion, hydro-mechanical and in- dustrial engineering, and in ma- chine design. Most recent division of the engi- neering college, the aeronautical en- gineering department, which was es- tablished in 1930, contains two wind tunnels and a testing laboratory. Naval Tank Used For the use of naval architecture and marine engineering students, an experimental tank, 300 feet long, 22 feet .wide, and 10 feet deep is avail- able as a testing ground for designs. Three distinct military programs are offered by the engineering col- lege, in addition to civilian courses. More than 1,100 soldiers are study- ing civil, .mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering under the 12- week Army Specialized Training Pro- gram. Approximately 75 naval officers are enrolled in a two-term course in naval architecture with faculty standing in the engineering col- - lege. Inaugurating a new program this se'mester, 50 Army men, all graduate engineers, will take a two-term se- quence of courses 'iii sanitary .engi- neering and public health. Aircraft Courses, Offered Supplementing the regular college en'ollment are personnel sent here from the Air- Corps Procurement Di- vision studying aircraft inspection under the Engineering, Science and Management' War Training Pro- gram. Designed by the United States Government to train selected women and men of 4-F draft classification in special war work, the program also offers courses in military map- ,making, surveying, photogrammetry, and topographic mapping. Advancing from a part of the "lit- erary- department," the engineering college~ hs grown to occupy one whole .corner of campus, two large buildings and portions of others. I From only one laboratory in 1881, the college now contains nearly 30 laboratories for student use in the various departments. Scide for Tan Beta Pi Society -Viangles, Vuleans Are Stepping Stones toW T p Engine Group Ultimate gual for most aspiring4 students in the College of Engineer- ing is the national engineering honor society; [Tau Beta Pi. Engineering scholarship and acti- vity :form the basis for election to this society. TrIangles and Vulcans, junior and seni honor societies respectively, are teplilng stones to Tau Beta Pi. Meinbership in these, as in Tau Beta Pi, ioUased on scholarship and extra- currcular',ctivity. Al thresof the above organizations are (pen to the entire- Engine school. There area however, other groups arising froin individual departments to jhich only students in these de- partiVets are eligible for member- ship. Te individual groups include: the Amnlon, Institute of Chemical En- gin -rs, t,he American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engi- neers,1&'Society of Automotive En- giners', the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Othei organizations are: the Fly- ing ClIub;"the American Institute of Aeronautical Sciences, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and Eta Kappa Nu (electrical engineer- ing society). The organization of naval archi- tects,and marine engineers is known as Quarterdeck. Women in 'the Col- lege of Engineering have formed a chapter of the American Society of Women Engineers. In addition to providing social actiyities for engineering students, these- various organizations bring outdtx ding lectures from industry, faculties; and-research- to aid the stu- dent in'his field. Lectures in the past have brought such men as C. F. Graves of the Michigan Central Rail- roads, J. Lloyd McCurdy, an author- ity on synthetic rubber, and John A. Fox bf t e Mississippi Valley Food- Control ommittee. Supplementing the regular student war courses offered by the College of Engineering, the Engineering , -Sci- ence and Management Wa Training program trains women :and men o~f 4-F draft classification as aircraft. inspectors. A full-time 10-week course spon- sored by the United States Office of Education trains personnel sent to the University from the Air Corps Procurement Division. Upon comple- tion of the course, students are re- turned to the war plant from which they were sent for the,. training. Section 9 of the Air Craft Inspec.- tion Training course finished train- ing Friday with a class of 23 people. Courses for Section 10, comprising 22 women and two men, started yes- terday and will continue until Dec. 3, when a new group will start training. Ordnance Inspection and Engin- eering Aides courses which were for-- merly conducted here under the ES- MWT program, have been discontin- ued. The last section of Ordnance fi- nished Friday, while the final Engin- eering Aide. group completed training Sept. 24th. A shifting of war contracts by the government created a surplus of Ord- nance workers in the Detroit area, according to ESMWT officials here. As long as this surplus exists, no new Ordnance inspectors will be trained here for the Detroit area. Government personnel ceilings on the arsenals from which the Engin- eering Aides were sent for training forced the discontinuance of this program. Included among the ESMWT courses offered here are military map making, surveying, photogrammetry and topographic mapping. WAR TRAINING PROGRAM: iwrcraf- Iii.pectors Receive 10-Week Course on Campus New Machiue is Given to Refrigeration .Plant To Be Set Up Here An absorption refrigeration mach- ine capable Qf turning out two tons of ice per day has been donated to the University by the Hoover Com- pany of North Canton, Ohio and will be set up in the chemical and - me- (tallurgical department laboratory for lab and experimental work, J. L. York, of the Chemical Engineering department said recently. Occupying 144 squarenfeet of floor space, the machine has been run for 100 hourssby the Hoover Company, Mr. York said. Operating continuously, the ma-" ch e will be used for student edu- cation in the theory and practice of refrigeration, according to Mr. York. Different operating conditions in the refrigerator will be studied in the laboratory courses during the fall term. term.
