ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING COURSE 259

ELECTIVES

Of the 28 elective credits,—

10 may be elected without restriction.

12 may be elected in subjects which are non-professional in the sense
that they are not prerequisite to the more technical phases of engi-
neering work,—in subjects such as economics, political and social
science, history, literature, the languages, and the like.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING COURSE

Industrial development generally and that in the chemical industries
particularly has made chemical engineering one of the important branches
of the engineering profession. There is now a demand for men having a
combined engineering and chemical training. To satisfy this demand the
four-year course in Chemical Engineering has been arranged, leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Science.

The variety of industries is most comprehensive in which the chemical
engineer now generally finds employment. Among these may be mentioned
the by-product coke and gas industry and its intimate connection with the
manufacture of dyestuffs; the production of paper and chemical pulp; the
hardening of vegetable and animal oils into valuable foods; the refining of
crude petroleum into gasoline, lubricating oils, and waxes; the manufacture
of iron and steel, brass, and alloys; the sulphuric acid and alkali industry;
and the construction of machinery and equipment for chemical plants. The
‘electrochemical industries for the refining of copper, the production of
caustic soda and chlorine, and the electroplating of metals for prevention
of corrosion have been firmly established. The use of the electric furnace
for making steel, brass, and alloys has led to revolutionary changes in these
industries.

The graduate usually begins his work as a cadet engineer in the oper-
ating or research departments; as a chemist in the laboratory; or in the
sales organization. His goal is frequently an executive position in a cor-
poration or in his own business; or he may do consulting work after having
gained the necessary experience.

Because the field of chemical engineering is so comprehensive, the
training of men for this work must be along broad lines. Besides the re-
quired technical courses, instruction in the departments of economics, ac-
counting, and English should be elected by the student, because training in
such studies is a most valuable asset. To train men in the technical details
of any branch of chemical engineering is not the purpose of the course,
