COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

CONVERTER AND OPEN-HEARTH STEEL. II; 5 cr. The chemistry of
the refining processes. The order of reaction as affected by tempera-
ture, the various factors which enter into the control of the process,
and the quality of the product are studied in lectures; and in the
drawing-room the principles entering into the design of the converter
and open-hearth plant are applied in the solution of practical prob-
lems. Mr. McCaffery.

PROPERTIES AND MANUFACTURE OF GRAY IRON CASTINGS. Yr; 3 cr.
Mr. McCaffery, Mr. Mackay.
