This course serves to introduce the first-year student to the various preparatory
and manipulative processes with which he must be familiar in order
to properly attack the various courses in technical engineering in succeeding
years. The first two terms are devoted to a study of various engineering elements,
casting, forging, machining, stamping, rolling and drawing processes.
The third term includes lectures on specific topics in the engineering profession
by members of the Departmental staff, with a view to acquainting the
student with the various fields of the profession. Considerable use is made
of slides, motion pictures and model material, and one or more visits to industrial
organizations are generally attempted. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

Associate Professor Hesse and Mr. V. Quarles.
