Freshman Drawing: Lecture Courses.
600. Practical Geometry. [Thornton.]
12:30-1:30, T. Th.; 8:30-9:30, S.
Fundamental problems of plane geometry with applications to the mensuration
of rectilinear and curvilinear figures; conic sections and the methods of
constructing these curves; the orthographic projection of polyhedra and of the
three round bodies in erect and oblique positions; sections of curved surfaces by
planes and intersections; the mensuration of solids and Simpson's rule; the
graphical solution of equations; and the theory and use of the Polar Planimeter.
(Fall.)
601. Machine Construction. [Hancock.]
8:30-9:30, T. Th. S.
Study of the hand and machine tools in the wood and machine shops, their
functions, construction, and operation; free-hand sketching of machine parts;
elementary problems in the computation of shafting, belting, rope drives, toothed
gears, etc. Problems are assigned the student to guide him in the study of each
machine. (Winter.)
Freshman Drawing: Practice Courses. [Henderson.]
9:30-11:30, M. W. F.
Each student executes one finished plate 15″×20″ weekly. These plates
are drawn under the supervision of the instructor and must be neatly finished,
lettered and dimensioned. Every student is required to make tracings and
blueprints of a certain number of his own plates.
650. Mechanical Drawing.
This course embraces training in technique, practice in lettering, and the
graphical solution in the weekly plates of a series of problems in practical plane
and solid geometry, and in graphical algebra and trigonometry. (Fall.)
651. Machine Drawing.
Finished plates consisting of detailed working drawings of machine parts.
The drawings are made, in part, from free-hand sketches from the machine
itself, and, in part, from designs and specifications worked out by the student.
(Winter.)
[4] 652. Topographical Drawing.
In this course the conventional methods of making topographical maps
are carefully taught. Each student is required to become reasonably proficient
in the preparation of such maps. Particular attention is paid to the study of
contoured plans and the solution of problems based on them. The associated
lecture and field courses are 700 and 750. (Spring.)
Sophomore Drawing: Lecture Courses.
12:30-1:30, M. W. F.
603. Graphical Statics. [Thornton.]
The necessary preparation is such knowledge of experimental mechanics as
is given in Physics 200. Graphical methods in mechanics; problems in the
composition and resolution of forces and moments; determination by graphical
methods of centers of gravity, and moments of inertia; construction of strain
sheets for the simpler forms of roof and bridge trusses; study of the stability
of dams and walls; calculation of internal stress in girders, and beam deflections.
(Fall.)
604. Descriptive Geometry. [Thornton.]
The fundamental problems on the point, line, and plane are carefully
studied, with applications to the construction of shadows on polyhedra and to
the graphical statics of force-systems in three dimensions. The projections,
tangencies, sections, and intersections of curved surfaces are then taken up, with
applications to the determination of shades and shadows on such surfaces.
The course concludes with an elementary theory of linear perspective.
(Winter.)
605. Structural Design. [Thornton.]
Graphical analysis and design of simple beam bridges; of reinforced
concrete slabs and beams; of plate girders; of retaining walls for earth; and
of simple types of framed structures. Special attention is given to the structures
important in highway engineering. (Spring.)
Sophomore Drawing: Practice Courses. [Stuart.]
11:30-1:30, T. Th. S.
The work of the course is the execution each week of a plate 15″×20″,
under the direction of a competent instructor. The problems assigned are such
as serve to illustrate the topics discussed in the associated lecture-courses and
develop power in the use of graphical methods. Each student is required also
and to use the planimeter for the mensuration of areas and volumes bounded
by curved lines and surfaces.
653. Graphical Statics.
Fall.
654. Descriptive Geometry.
Winter.
655. Structural Drawing.
Spring.
