ANNOUNCEMENT
=OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO BEGIN THE WORK OF THE FRESHMAN YEAR IN
FEBRUARY=
In order to meet a very real need the College has for the past several
years made it possible for a limited number of high school graduates to
begin the work of the Freshman year in February. Men entering at that
time may, if they so desire, continue the work of the Freshman year
during the Summer Session. Those who satisfactorily complete the work
of the Spring and Summer Sessions are then eligible for admission to
the Sophomore class the following September.
A man who enters in February, therefore, is able to graduate one
year earlier than would have been possible if he had waited until
the following September to enter. Freshmen continuing throughout the
Spring and Summer Sessions receive the same number of credit hours of
instruction as do those students who take the regular Freshman program
beginning in September. The number of class hours of attendance per
week for the February group is somewhat greater than the weekly total
for those entering in September. However, experience has shown that
the better student is able to complete the work of the Spring and
Summer Sessions satisfactorily without suffering any ill effects. As
the Summer Session ends about the middle of August, a vacation of
approximately one month is available between the closing of the Summer
Session and the beginning of classes in September.
High school students who wish to apply for admission to the February
sections should submit certificates of high school training immediately
after the December 1st preceding the February entrance as the
enrollment is definitely limited. These transcript and application
forms may be obtained upon request from the College Registrar. While
it is understood that a complete secondary school record will usually
not be available until the student’s graduation, the partial record
will serve for preliminary consideration of the application. The
final statement will be obtained by the College. All certificates of
high school training must be mailed directly to the Registrar by the
principals of the high schools.
Expenses for the February group are the same as for the September
matriculates.
Individuals desiring additional information may apply to the Registrar
for an appointment.

The Library of the College consists of approximately 21,000 volumes
of technical reference books and of engineering texts, together with
many volumes covering all branches of literature, and bound volumes of
the more important engineering periodicals. The College subscribes to
a considerable number of engineering periodicals and trade journals
which are available on the shelves of the library for student use. In
addition the College has an arrangement with the Newark Public Library
so that books may upon request be obtained from the city library for
reference and general use. The facilities of the Library of the Public
Service Corporation are also at the service of the College.
In 1936 Dr. Edward Weston bequeathed to the College his scientific
library of approximately 12,000 bound volumes and 65,000 pamphlets,
together with his collection of scientific and laboratory apparatus.
Arrangements are now in progress to provide adequate facilities for
making these collections available to the students and the public.
THE NEWARK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
The Newark College of Engineering instituted in 1919, is a development
of the Newark Technical School founded in 1881 by the Board of Trade
of Newark. The College is a public institution supported by both the
City and the State and is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by
the Governor of the State of New Jersey. The Governor and the Mayor of
Newark are ex-officio members.
The control and supervision of finances of the College is vested in the
Board of Regents of the State of New Jersey.
The College is situated in the heart of Newark at High Street and
Summit Place. The work of the institution is carried on in four
buildings. The recitation halls are adequately equipped modern
structures, particularly suited to requirements of an engineering
college.
Located in the center of one of the most important industrial sections
in the world, the opportunities for direct contact with industry are
exceptionally good and co-operative relations have been established
with some of the largest and best industries in this section.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Industry is asking today for young men of character and initiative
who have been trained to leadership along the lines of commercial
production. Men are in great demand who can step into positions of more
or less influence and who can handle problems of manufacture as well
as problems of design. The work of the production engineer of today is
concerned with problems of labor and problems of money as well as with
problems having to do with materials.
The Administration of the College believes that success in the field of
engineering depends, today, upon certain fundamental factors which are
best taught in direct contact with modern industry. The factors are:
(1) Character
(2) Initiative
(3) Hard work
(4) Understanding human relations
(5) A knowledge of fundamentals of applied science.
Early contact with the industries enables the student to get not only
his academic work but also to learn at first-hand some very important
and fundamental things about the operation of modern industry and about
the functions of the modern engineer.
Beginning in the year 1940-41 two full semesters of academic work
will be given to senior students. The co-operative work for students
affected by this arrangement will be increased and it will be given
during the summers following the Sophomore and Junior years. This work
will take the place of the alternating schedule now in effect for
seniors.
The summer cooperative work will have the same purpose as that
heretofore given in the Senior year. It will serve as an industrial
engineering laboratory where the men will work under commercial
conditions, commercial standards and commercial criteria. The work
given in industry under the supervision of the College will, however,
be limited to those men who have shown maturity, accomplishment, and
development in the first two years of their College work. It will be in
the nature of a premium given those men who are likely to profit from
it, along with other premiums in the way of scholarships, exemptions
from examinations, etc. extended to an Honors Option group. It will be
optional on the part of the student and limited by the College.
The college is particularly interested in the study of traits and
characteristics which in individual cases interfere with the student’s
development along industrial and professional lines. The student is
given, therefore, a considerable amount of individual study and
attention from this particular point of view.
COURSES
The College offers four-year courses in Industrial Chemistry, and
in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, with an option in
Aeronautical Engineering.
Much of the subject matter in these four courses is common to all of
them. These common subjects represent the unity of the basic sciences
and techniques of all branches of engineering.
The hours of instruction extend from 9:00 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. Monday to
Friday inclusive.
Opportunity is offered to a limited number of high school graduates to
enter the College in February as freshmen. Students entering at that
time may continue the work of the freshman year throughout the summer.
Those who satisfactorily complete the work of the spring and summer
terms may be admitted to the sophomore class in September of the same
year.
Students other than those referred to in the above paragraph, who
are desirous of taking work during the summer, should inquire at the
College for information regarding courses to be given.
DEGREES
The Newark College of Engineering reports to and receives the right to
grant degrees from the New Jersey State Board of Education.
All candidates for graduation who satisfactorily complete a regular
course of study and the examinations required receive the degree
of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in the course pursued. The degree is
certified by a diploma bearing the seal and signatures of officers of
this institution.
The work of the Newark College of Engineering is accredited by the
Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and by the
American Council on Education.
The courses of this college are registered by The State Education
Department of the University of the State of New York.
National professional engineering societies sponsor student branches at
the College. The societies represented are:
American Institute of Chemical Engineers
American Society of Civil Engineers
American Institute of Electrical Engineers
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Society for the Advancement of Management.
The specific academic requirements in the four courses are shown on the
next following pages for students entering September 1937 and later.
Graduates of 1940 meet similar requirements as stated in earlier issues
of this bulletin.
One Credit Hour is, generally, equivalent to one hour of attendance per
week in class or lecture exercises, and is equivalent to two hours of
attendance per week in laboratory exercises, during a semester.

While passing marks are required as a minimum in all subjects
undertaken, barely passing marks alone do not insure graduation.
To be eligible for graduation, a student is required to attain a grade
of A or B in at least 20% of the credit hours allotted in the catalogue
to professional and technical subjects.
All graduates of the College who desire to become candidates for the
degree C. E., E. E., or M. E., must receive the approval of the
faculty at least eighteen months before the granting of the degree.
Each candidate for the above-mentioned degrees shall render every three
months to the head of the department of which he is a graduate, a
written report on his progress, such report to contain a brief outline
of the engineering work performed by the candidate, the names of
engineering books and articles read by him, and the list of engineering
society meetings which he has attended.
Each candidate shall submit to the faculty, at least four months before
the granting of the degree, a satisfactory thesis upon an approved
subject.
Each candidate shall appear in person upon the appointed commencement
day to receive his degree, unless excused by the faculty.
ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
A student may enter the College of Engineering as a matriculated
student, registered as a candidate for a degree, or as a special
student, permitted to attend such courses in the College as he may be
qualified to take, but not as a candidate for a degree.
Applicants may submit certificates of secondary school records to
the College Registrar after March 15 for the next September opening
of College or after December 1 for the next February opening. The
forms for certification will be provided on request. While it is
understood that a complete secondary school record will not usually be
available until later, the partial record will serve for preliminary
consideration of the application.
It is required that each applicant present himself for an interview
at a time arranged by the Registrar so that the College may evaluate
his probable fitness to do engineering college work and subsequently
to find employment in the profession. This estimate will be on the
basis of physical and emotional fitness and on previous scholastic
achievement. In instances where the evidence is not reasonably
conclusive, certain tests and examinations may be required. A fee will
be charged for this testing service.
Every applicant for entrance into the Freshman Class must furnish to
the College a statement of good moral character.
Class room and laboratory facilities, demands of good instruction,
and prospects of employment in a particular field limit the number of
students to be admitted each year. It was found necessary, in view of
these factors, to close the September 1938-39 admissions in Industrial
Chemistry on August 15, 1938, and to require that the matriculation
fee be paid at that time. There is a possibility that this and
other courses may be affected by similar closing dates and that the
matriculation fee may be payable on notification by the Registrar prior
to the registration dates published in this catalog.
It is requested that all Freshmen complete their registration
arrangements for September 1939-40 admissions before Wednesday,
September 13, 1939, at twelve noon. An extra registration fee will be
required of those who register after that time. Similarly, February
admissions will be closed at noon on the Wednesday of registration
week, and the extra registration fee will be held effective after that
time.

represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school,
constituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s work. As a
minimum this represents one hundred and twenty sixty-minute hours or
their equivalent.
A four-year secondary school curriculum should be regarded as
representing not more than sixteen units of work.
The classification for special students is provided in order to make
available the privileges of the College to mature men to whom technical
instruction in a limited field would be a benefit, but who have neither
the need nor the necessary time for a full course of study. Such
students are expected to conform to the same standards of attendance
and scholarship as are required of matriculated students. Special
students may receive a statement of work completed.
Students who wish to transfer from other institutions must present
complete credentials including a statement of honorable dismissal to
the Registrar. Applications for admission by transfer students will be
considered only if the applicant meets all requirements which govern
the admission of Freshmen.
A student must satisfy the College of adequate preparation. To do this
he may offer either:
(A) Any one of the following examinations covering the
subjects required for admission:
1. Those given by the College Entrance Examination Board.[8]
2. The entrance examinations given by the College.
3. The examinations given by the Education Departments of
the States of New York and New Jersey to students who have
satisfactorily completed the courses in the High Schools;
_or_
(B) A certificate of graduation from an approved High
School showing the time devoted to each subject and the
standard attained. Entrance credits will be allowed for
those subjects only which are satisfactorily credited on
the certificate.
[7] For commercial and vocational subjects, not more than four units,
provided that not more than one unit be offered in any one subject.
[8] For information regarding these examinations see the next following
pages.
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD
Scholarship Examinations and Early Examinations for Admission to Be
Held on April 15, 1939
The College Entrance Examination Board will hold examinations at
approximately 150 places in the United States on April 15, 1939, for
applicants for scholarships and for admission to college. A list
of these places will be published about December 15. A detailed
announcement regarding the April series of examinations will be ready
for distribution on October 1.
Every candidate is required to file an application with the Executive
Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117
Street, New York, N. Y., not later than March 25, 1939. A candidate
who takes the examinations for admission to college should secure a
blank form of application for examination from the College Entrance
Examination Board; a candidate who takes them in order to qualify for
a scholarship must secure the blank form from the college offering the
scholarship. In order to facilitate the making of arrangements for the
proper conduct of the examinations, it is desired that all applications
be filed as early as possible. The examination fee of ten dollars
should accompany the application for the scholarship tests[9] and
should be remitted by postal order, express order, or draft on New York
to the order of the College Entrance Examination Board.
Applications for examination will be accepted after March 25, 1939,
when it is possible to arrange for the examination of the candidates
concerned, but only upon payment of five dollars in addition to the
regular fee.
When a candidate has failed to obtain the required blank form of
application, the regular examination fee will be accepted if it arrives
not later than March 25, 1939, and if it be accompanied by a memorandum
with the name and address of the candidate, the center at which he will
report for examination, the college to which his report is to be sent,
and the series of examinations (admission or scholarship) he wishes to
take.
No candidate will be admitted to a test late, that is, after the test
has begun. Each candidate who is registered for the Scholastic Aptitude
Test will receive a booklet containing a specimen test with blank
spaces to be filled in by the candidate. In order to secure admission
to the test, the candidate must present not only his ticket of
admission but also this booklet with the spaces filled in as requested.
Inasmuch as no special preparation will be needed for this series of
examinations, detailed information regarding them, with the exception
of the practice booklet for the Scholastic Aptitude Test, will not be
distributed to candidates.
The College Entrance Examination Board will report to the institution
indicated on the candidate’s application the results of his
examinations. Candidates should not expect to receive from the Board
reports upon their examinations.
[9] The fee for the admission series this year will be five dollars.
This series will consist of a form of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
containing a verbal and a mathematical section. There will be no
separate foreign language and mathematics tests.
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD
Examinations of June 17-24, 1939
The College Entrance Examination Board will hold examinations in
June 1939 at more than three hundred points in this country and
abroad. A list of these places will be published about March 1, 1939.
Requests that the examinations be held at particular points should
be transmitted to the Executive Secretary of the College Entrance
Examination Board not later than February 1, 1939.
Detailed definitions of the requirements in all examination subjects
are given in a circular of information published annually about
December 1. Upon request to the Secretary of the College Entrance
Examination Board a single copy of this document will be sent to any
teacher without charge. In general, there will be a charge of thirty
cents, which may be remitted in postage.
All candidates wishing to take these examinations should make
application by mail to the Secretary of the College Entrance
Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y. Blank forms
for this purpose will be mailed by the Secretary of the Board to any
teacher or candidate upon request by mail.
The applications and fees of all candidates who wish to take the
examinations in June 1939 should reach the Secretary of the Board not
later than the dates specified in the following schedule:
For examination centers
In the United States east of the Mississippi
River or on the Mississippi May 29, 1939

River or in Canada May 22, 1939
Outside of the United States and Canada,
except in Asia May 8, 1939
In China or elsewhere in the Orient April 24, 1939
An application which reaches the Secretary later than the scheduled
date will be accepted only upon payment of $5 in addition to the
regular examination fee of $10.
When a candidate has failed to obtain the required blank form of
application, the regular examination fee will be accepted if the fee
arrive not later than the date specified above and if it be accompanied
by a memorandum with the name and address of the candidate, the exact
examination center selected, and a list of the subjects in which the
candidate is to take the Board examinations.
When the examination supplies of the local supervisor permit,
candidates who have failed to file an application with the Secretary
may be admitted, upon payment to the local supervisor of a fee of five
dollars in addition to the regular fee, to all examinations except the
Scholastic Aptitude Test. Such candidates should present themselves at
the beginning of the period of registration. A candidate who registers
with the supervisor will receive from him a blank form of application
and an identification card which must be filled out and handed to the
supervisor for transmission to the Secretary of the Board.
In order to exhibit their tickets of admission, to present their
identification cards, and to obtain seats in the examination room,
candidates should report for a morning examination at 8:45 and for
an afternoon examination at 1:45. An examination will close for
candidates admitted late at the same time as for other candidates. The
examinations will be held in accordance with the time (Standard Time or
Daylight Saving Time) observed in the local schools.
No candidate will be admitted to the Scholastic Aptitude Test late,
that is, after the test has begun.
The Scholastic Aptitude Test may be taken upon the completion of the
school course or at the end of the third year of secondary school
work. Each candidate desiring to take this test, even though he is to
take no other examination, must file with the Secretary of the Board
the usual application for examination. Every candidate who registers
for the test will receive a practice booklet containing a specimen
test with blank spaces to be filled in by the candidate. In order to
secure admission to the test, the candidate must present not only his
ticket of admission but also this booklet with the spaces filled in as
requested. If the Scholastic Aptitude Test is taken in connection with
other examinations, no additional fee is required; if taken alone, the
fee is $10.

This college is primarily one for students who commute between their
homes and the school. Dormitories are not provided. Out-of-town
students who wish to room in Newark may apply to the College for aid in
locating desirable accommodations.
Students are advised to defer expenditures for textbooks until they are
certain that changes are not contemplated or necessary.
The College is not responsible for loss of property by fire or theft in
its buildings and grounds.
SCHOLARSHIPS
For young men of ability who need financial assistance there are in all
twenty-five scholarships available.
Application should be made for these scholarships to the President of
the College not later than September the first.
William F. Hoffman Scholarships
Boy Scout Scholarships
In addition to these general scholarships the Board of Trustees of the
College have granted two scholarships, the recipients to be chosen by
the Newark Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Henry J. Ruesch Scholarships
In memory of Henry J. Ruesch two scholarships have been donated, the
recipients to be graduates of the Newark Technical School.
Herbert P. Gleason Scholarships
By the will of Herbert P. Gleason seven scholarships are available for

STUDENT LIFE
The aim of the College is to train and educate earnest and industrious
students along technical lines. This is the first and the supreme duty
of the College; all other activities are secondary.
The professional departments expect student participation in the
activities of the student branches of the national professional
engineering societies.
The Faculty recognizes the importance of social and athletic activities
if properly co-ordinated with the more serious work of instruction.
ATHLETICS
In common with some of the better technical institutions in the country
the College does not support a varsity football or baseball team. The
athletic activities are designed to interest the average student and to
develop _him_ rather than to overdevelop a small group.
Varsity competition in basketball, fencing, tennis and track athletics
is encouraged, and the College each year puts teams into the field.
DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Mr. W. J. Hoffman
The Civil Engineering course is planned to prepare young men for
municipal engineering work, highway work, construction work, or work in
the general field of scientific management. Because of the temporary
slowing down of work in the civil engineering field, during recent
years, streets, highways, water supply and sewage disposal systems,
bridges, etc. have become seriously run-down or inadequate. Trained
young men will be needed in the near future to take part in the
repair, replacement, or enlargement of these necessities. The trend
toward large sectional projects, sponsored by the federal government,
indicates another field of opportunity for young men trained in civil
engineering.
To give students training in the fundamentals of civil engineering, so
that they may qualify for employment in any of the lines of work above
mentioned, a problem in municipal engineering is used, providing much
of the instruction of Junior and Senior years. A topographical survey
and map are made of a tract of land containing about a hundred acres.
This tract is then subdivided into streets and lots as in a suburban
community. The water supply and sewage disposal systems for this tract
are designed in connection with the sanitation course. Streets and
roads are located and designed as a problem in the highway course.
Bridges, culverts, retaining-walls, etc., such as would be required in
municipal, or highway work, are designed as part of the work of the
senior course in structures.
Active membership in the Student Chapter of the American Society of
Civil Engineers is expected of students in this department.
Field Equipment in Civil Engineering
The department has complete and up-to-date equipment for conducting
plane, topographic and hydrographic surveys. The equipment includes
plane and engineer’s transits, levels, plane tables, current meter,
sextants, tapes, level and stadia rods, range poles and all other
necessary surveying accessories.
Surveying Summer Camp
The complete facilities of the Summer Camp of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology at East Machias, Maine, are available to a
limited number of students who are selected on the basis of proficiency
in Surveying and general excellence in scholarship. Applicants will be
chosen from the group invited to participate in the Honors Option, and
will be given the summer camp assignment in place of the industrial
assignment given to the other members of the group. The Newark College
of Engineering will give to students receiving this assignment
scholarships covering a portion of the camp fee.
The M. I. T. Summer Camp is located in a region particularly well
suited to instruction in large scale surveying projects, such as
geodetic triangulation, mapping of large areas, reconnaissance for
highway or railroad location, hydrographic surveying, stream gaging,
etc. The camp itself is equipped with modern buildings, sanitary
water supply and sewage disposal, fire hydrants and fire-fighting
apparatus, and an emergency hospital. The staff includes a practising
physician. Students and faculty live in dormitories (known at the camp
as barracks) and eat in the camp dining room. The camp is within a
few minutes, by automobile, from the East Machias railroad station.
Students attending in 1939 will report during the last week of July and
remain at the camp seven weeks.

CE 21 Highways. Prerequisites, CE 2, CE 20.
This is a course in Highway Design in which two problems
are undertaken. In the first, plans are prepared for
the improvement and paving of about one-quarter mile of
city streets. Details of sidewalks, curbs, pavements and
drainage are taken into account. The field notes for this
problem are obtained in the course in Surveying CE 2. In
the second problem a paper location of a highway is made
from a contour map (similar to that prepared in Surveying
CE 2) for about two miles of rural highway. Plans are
prepared which subscribe to the practice and standards of
the New Jersey State Highway Department. Attention is given
to alignment, grade and cost, with a special study made of
the earth quantities and placement.

A course designed to give the student a comprehensive
knowledge of the problems encountered in the field of
highway traffic control together with a thorough study of
current methods of dealing with those problems.
The course is presented in the form of lectures by the
instructor, reports by the students, supplementary reading,
and, whenever practicable, field studies and analyses
of actual traffic problems. The subjects covered are as
follows: purposes of traffic control; accident statistics;
accident records as a basis for accident prevention
with special attention being paid to the use of spot
maps, flow diagrams and collision diagrams in analysing

CE 30-1 Structures. Prerequisite, First Semester Phys 30.
This course forms a transition between the previous
courses of mechanics (statics) and strength of materials
and the course in structures CE 30-2 given to the senior
civil students. It treats of a more rounded and complete
study of reaction and internal stresses in roof trusses
and statically determinate bridges by both analytical and
graphical methods. Special emphasis is placed upon the
construction and use of influence lines. A short time is
devoted to the approximate solution of lateral bracing and
portals.
_Text: Sutherland and Bowman “Structural Theory”, 2nd Ed._
CE 30-2 Structures. Prerequisites, CE 30-1, complete course. Phys 30.
The work of this course is divided between a theoretical
study of statically indeterminate structures and the design
of a variety of small structures. A thorough theoretical
study is made of the deflection of beams and trusses and
of the methods of least work, slope deflection, moment
distribution, and the column analogy. Secondary stresses,
space framework and wind stresses in buildings receive
their proportion of attention. Throughout the work in
theory those structures that are to be later designed and
detailed are used for class problems, thereby making a
close tie between the theory and design and eliminating
an unnecessary amount of duplication in arithmetical
calculations. Problems are given in the design of, and
complete preparation of plans for roof trusses, buildings,
foundations, abutments, retaining walls, trestles, trusses,
girders, and frames of concrete, steel, and wood, with
a study of timber, riveted, and welded framing. Highway
loadings are used in preference to railroad loadings in
order to simplify computations. Particular emphasis is
placed upon orderly and complete computations, standard
and practical considerations of design and detail, and
thoroughness and neatness in drafting. Given to senior
students in civil engineering.

the taking of the course._
CE 30 Structures.
Courses CE 30-1 and CE 30-2 will be combined in one senior
course in 1940-41 and later years.
CE 40 Hydraulics. Prerequisites, Math. 21, Mech. 20.
The subject matter is the same as in CE 41. In addition, a
laboratory course is given, in which the characteristics
of flow are studied for various types of conduits and
measuring devices, and also for various degrees of
viscosity of the liquid. Given to students in civil
engineering.
_Texts: Cummings and Widdop, “Elementary Hydraulics”;
Laboratory Manual of the Mechanical Engineering Department._
CE 41 Hydraulics. Prerequisites, Math. 21, Mech. 20.
This is a text-book and problem course. The subject
of hydrostatics is treated briefly, from the point of
view of review work in physics and applied mechanics.
In hydrokinetics, the energy balances are emphasized as
providing means of solving problems in theoretic flow
through orifices, pipes, open channels, and over weirs.
Constant emphasis is placed on the degree of precision
obtainable, in practice, by the use of the available
experimentally determined constants to modify theoretical
computations to meet actual conditions. Given to chemical,
electrical, and mechanical students.

The problems and techniques associated with the production, delivery,
utilization and control of energy in the electrical form are given the
inclusive title of Electrical Engineering. Any general preparation for
the recognition and analysis of these problems and the mastery of these
techniques, in their infinite variety, must, of necessity, emphasize
the basic conceptions and principles which are of widest application.
Specific applications, sufficient in number and variety to maintain the
student’s interest and broaden his point of view are, however, useful
supplements.
The work of the freshman and sophomore years consists, primarily, of
the foundation mathematics, physics, English and mechanical drafting
usually given to all engineering students. In addition, a course in the
fundamental electrical units and their application to the magnetic,
electro-static and electric circuits, is given. This is followed by a
general engineering course in d-c and a-c circuits. The classroom work
is paralleled by a laboratory course in electrical measurements.
During the upper class years the principles of electrical engineering
are applied to many problems; characteristics and operation of
direct-current, synchronous, and induction machinery, rectification,
wave form analysis, transient phenomena, power plant equipment,
transmission and distribution and electro-physical measurements in
magnetism, in induction and capacitance by balance methods and in
multi-electrode vacuum tube characteristics.
A student branch of The American Institute of Electrical Engineers
holds about eight or ten meetings each year. All upper classmen become
members and are expected to attend its meetings. The second year men
are invited to join the local society.
Since electrical engineering is closely related to mechanical and
chemical engineering much material from these branches is included in
the course.
The Electrical Laboratories
The electrical laboratories are located on the first floor of the
Laboratory Building. A centrally located stock room houses much of the
equipment used for test and measurement.
Electric power for the laboratories is obtained from the Public
Service Electric & Gas Company through a 240-volt, 3-phase, 60-cycle
alternating current line. By means of transformers, motor-generator
sets, synchronous converters, oscillators, rectifiers, and storage
batteries, direct or alternating current power of wide range of voltage
and frequency is available. This power can be distributed to any part
of the laboratories on either two or three wire lines, through a
carefully planned distribution system.
Equipment is available for setting up all types of electric circuits,
reactive and non-reactive, for either direct or alternating current
power, together with the usual voltmeters, ammeters, and wattmeters,
required in the measurement of these circuits.
Several examples of each of the fundamental types of generators and
motors for both direct and alternating current, as well as the usual
transformers and various special types are conveniently arranged for
study and complete tests.
Special types of instruments for extreme range of voltage current
and power are also available, together with special instruments such
as frequency meters, power factor meters, electro-static voltmeters,
oscillographs, and bridge networks for resistance, capacitance and
inductance.
Provision is also made for extensive study of the fundamental operating
characteristics of the vacuum tubes of many kinds which are so widely
used in the control of electric power in its various forms.
The following equipment is worthy of special mention:
A General Electric Educational Set consisting of a synchronous machine;
a wound-rotor induction machine; a squirrel cage induction machine;
and a double-current generator, each with a 15 k v a rating and wound
for either 1, 2, 3 or 6 phase operation.
A Westinghouse synchronous motor-generator set, rated at 15 k v a and
wound for 1, 2, 3 or 6 phases. One machine is arranged as a cradle
dynamometer and equipped for phase shifting.
A General Electric sine-wave generator coupled to a synchronous motor.
This machine generates a voltage wave which conforms accurately to
standard wave form. It has a capacity of 5 k v a for three phases and
has a ring gear mechanism for phase shifting.
A two-unit General Electric motor-generator set consisting of one 5
k v a generator capable of single-, three- or six-phase operation at
110/220 volts. This is coupled to a 5-kw, 250-volt d-c machine.
Three mercury-arc rectifiers complete with switchboards and auxiliaries.
Three General Electric Oscillographs complete with all auxiliary
apparatus.
One Westinghouse four-element Oscillograph.
One Westinghouse Osiso.
One Sundt Neobeam Oscilloscope.
One Du Mont Cathode-Ray Oscilloscope.
One Westinghouse Audio Oscillator.

This is the fundamental electrical course for all
electrical engineering students. The lecture, class and
laboratory method is used. The subject is treated from
the point of view of the physicist. The electron theory
is the basis. For each phenomenon considered a physical
explanation is given as well as a mathematical expression.
Particular attention is given to the proper definition
of the units of measurement. The relation between these
quantities is emphasized by problem work.
Laboratory work in measurements and the proper use of
instruments is carried on at the same time.

The four year course in Industrial Chemistry is broad in scope and is
designed to give the student a thorough background in the fundamental
sciences, engineering subjects, and the necessary cultural subjects. It
forms an adequate basis for advanced courses of a professional nature
in science and engineering and, by further training, in the methods of
scientific research.
The earlier part of the course provides the essential foundations of
mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Later comes thorough drill in the
assimilation, acquirement of facility of application, and blending of
the more theoretical instruction of the earlier years.
To give the student a sound grasp of the subject matter, problems of
various types form an important part of the curriculum. The laboratory
work is almost exclusively quantitative. The student is required to
record observations and to express experimental data in an orderly and
precise manner.
Incidental to the formal instruction are such matters as the use of
library, methods of finding all that is known of a particular product
or process, and the writing of reports.
Courses of a cultural nature constitute an important part of the
curriculum. Their purpose is to develop in the young technical worker
an intelligent approach to contacts with his fellow workers and to
responsibilities of a broader social nature. Like all technical men,
the chemist may become a business executive, in which event some
breadth of vision may be of the utmost importance to him.
The Chemistry Laboratories
These laboratories are located on the top floor of the Laboratory
Building, the laboratories being two in number. The large laboratory
is devoted to courses in General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis,
and the smaller one to more advanced work in analysis and to organic
chemistry. There is also a balance room and a stock room, both easily
accessible to the two laboratories.
The department possesses the material equipment necessary for work in
inorganic, organic, analytical and industrial chemistry. Fume closets
are installed in both laboratories for the proper handling of processes
involving harmful fumes. A continuous supply of distilled water is
furnished by an enclosed still. A parsons generator supplies hydrogen
sulfide for the work in qualitative analysis.
Among the various special pieces of apparatus are the following: A Parr
calorimeter, a centrifuge, conductivity apparatus, mechanical grinder,
pumps for the production of compressed air and suction, various special
pieces of apparatus for distillation and filtration and for the
handling of gases.
The Chemical Engineering Laboratory
The Chemical Engineering Laboratory is arranged for the study of unit
operations by the students of the chemical course. The apparatus is
commercial equipment of modern design, which has been equipped with
numerous meters, gauges and measuring devices for accurately testing
the machines. The students make quantitative studies of factory
operations and of the problems involved in the design of equipment.
The unit operations studied include heat transfer, fluid flow,
distillation, evaporation, drying, etc.
A copper, forced-convection, vacuum evaporator, having a capacity of
one thousand pounds of water per hour is available. This machine is so
equipped that accurate heat and material balances may be obtained and
operation costs calculated as in commercial practice.
A very flexible apparatus is the copper experimental distillation unit,
which is 23 feet high. This consists of a 50-gallon kettle, a 19-plate
rectifying column, condensers, cooler and an automatic decanter and
feed control. Five of the sections of the column are of Pyrex glass, so
the actual operation can be carefully studied. It can be operated on
several modifications of batch, steam or continuous distillation.
The batch drier, equipped with automatic temperature and humidity
control, is arranged for the study of the drying process as it is
carried out in commercial practice.
A rotary suction drum filter, Sweetland, plate and frame, and stoneware
suction filter are used in experiments on filtration.
Experiments on grinding include a study of a Ball Mill, Jaw Crusher,
Micro pulverizer, and an Attrition Mill.
The laboratory is also equipped with a centrifuge, sulfonator, vacuum
crystallizer, autoclave and other pieces of equipment, such as
pyrometers, necessary for experimental runs on the various units.

SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION in the DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY
CH 11 General Chemistry.
Descriptive inorganic chemistry, chemical theory, and
elementary applied chemistry. Besides a study of the
chemistry of the elements and their compounds, the
course includes a brief survey of certain of the more
important industrial processes, such as the manufacture
of the elementary gases, the acids, soda, glass, cement,
and metals. The laboratory work is chosen so as to
illustrate the current lectures. In order to emphasize the
quantitative nature of the science, the student is required
to solve a large number of numerical problems based on
chemical processes and to do a certain amount of actual
quantitative work in the laboratory.
_Texts: McPherson and Henderson, “A Course in General
Chemistry”; McPherson, Henderson and Evans, “Laboratory
Manual in General Chemistry”; Bradley, “Problems in General
Chemistry”._
CH 21 Qualitative Analysis.
_For Chemical Students._ This course includes the analysis
of numerous unknowns for both the anions and the cations.
Class work covers the practical and theoretical aspects
of analysis, including the theory of electrolytes, ionic
equilibrium and the law of mass action.
_Text: McAlpine and Soule, “Qualitative Chemical Analysis”._
_For Civil Students._ Laboratory work, the same as CH 21.
Class work consists of the chemistry of materials used in
engineering work, chemical theory and special topics.
_Texts: Leighou, “Chemistry of Engineering Materials”;
Cornog & Vosburgh, “Introductory Qualitative Analysis”._
_For Electrical and Mechanical Students._ This course is
designed to acquaint the students with the methods of
analysis and the application of chemical principles to
engineering work. Laboratory work consists of qualitative
analysis, and water and fuel analysis. Class work includes
the application of chemical theory and such special topics
as alloys, fuels, corrosion and the treatment of water for
industrial and sanitary purposes.
_Texts: Chapin, “Second Year College Chemistry”; Cornog &
Vosburgh, “Introductory Qualitative Analysis”._
CH 22 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry.
This course undertakes a more thorough treatment of the
modern developments of inorganic chemistry than is possible
in course CH 11. Such topics as the mass law, vapor
pressure, dissociation, velocity of reaction, and kinetic
theory are studied in considerable detail. Attention is
also given to the recent ideas of the structure of the
atom. The course is profusely illustrated by problems.
_Texts: Chapin, “Second Year College Chemistry”; Hougen and
Watson, “Industrial Chemical Calculations”._
CH 31 Physical Chemistry. Junior Year.
CH 41 Physical Chemistry. Senior Year.
These two courses form a continuous treatment, the
subject matter of which is selected with a more especial
view to the needs of students entering the chemical
industries than is usual in this subject. The abstract
principles of chemistry are developed in such a way as
to emphasize their practical importance, and to lead the
student to facility and confidence in the application of
theoretical knowledge to his everyday work. A large part
of the work consists to the solution of problems by the
students. The problems are discussed in detail, the aim
being to develop the power to use principles, rather than
merely to impart factual knowledge of the phenomena. The
topics considered in the course are the pressure-volume
relations of gases, the properties of solutions related
to molal composition, the conduction of electricity
in solutions, the ionic theory, the mass-action law
applied to the rate and equilibrium of chemical changes,
heterogeneous equilibrium from the phase-rule standpoint,
thermo-chemistry and thermo-dynamic chemistry. Under
the latter topic are considered the free-energy change
attending chemical reactions, the maximum work obtainable
from them, the effect of temperature on free-energy and
a number of applied topics in electro-chemistry such as
electro-motive force of voltaic cells, electrode potentials
in relation to the equilibrium of oxidation and reduction
reactions, electrolysis in relation to electromotive force
and concentration, and gas polarization. Throughout the
two courses, the scientific background of the chemical
industries is constantly impressed upon the student. Only
by constantly applying the principles to concrete problems
will the student acquire such a knowledge and the power to
use it in new cases.
_Text: Getman and Daniels, “Outline of Theoretical
Chemistry” (for CH 31 and CH 41)._
CH 32 Quantitative Analysis.
This course includes both the theory and the practice of
quantitative analysis. In the laboratory, training is given
in the correct technique of quantitative work, first in
volumetric and then in gravimetric determinations. Later,
extended analyses are carried out. In the classroom the
principles underlying the laboratory work are studied;
additional methods also are considered. Throughout the
year the student receives training in the calculations of
analytical chemistry, with special attention to the errors
of measurement. Particular consideration is given to the
accuracy of the methods studied, in connection with the
requirements of their use, and to the saving of time by
proper planning of work and choice of method.
_Texts: Kolthoff and Sandell, “Textbook of Quantitative
Inorganic Analysis”; Giesy, “Problems in Quantitative
Analysis”._
CH 33 Thermodynamics.
This follows the lines of course ME 31 Thermodynamics but
is adapted to the needs of industrial chemists.
_Text: Lichty, “Thermodynamics”._
CH 41 Physical Chemistry.
(See CH 31.)
CH 42 Organic Chemistry. Prerequisites, CH 11, CH 31, CH 32.

chemical properties of various classes of compounds.
The course is conducted with special reference to the
industrial applications of organic chemistry. Some of
the newer physico-chemical tools used in the study of
the science will be considered. If time permits, certain
special topics such as dye-stuffs, alkaloids, and compounds
of biochemical importance will be studied.
_Texts: Conant, “The Chemistry of Organic Compounds”;
Coghill and Sturtevant, “Organic Compounds”._

The Mechanical Engineer is concerned with the problems of design,
construction and operation of machine tools, of the power machinery
to operate these tools and of power machinery in general, such as
refrigeration, ventilation, automotive, hydraulic and heat transfer
machines. He is greatly concerned with the problems of industrial
management and public affairs in general. The subject matter covered by
this department has been developed with these points in mind.
The first two years of the course develop a background of mathematics,
physics, chemistry and English upon which the technical subjects of
the last two years depend. An introduction to the technical phase of
the work is had in this period through such subjects as engineering
drawing, shop work and electricity. A practical view-point may be
developed by work in industry during the summers.
In the third year, the student is introduced to the several basic
courses in engineering such as thermodynamics, heat power, hydraulics,
strength of materials, machine design and electricity. A knowledge of
the problems of our social and industrial life is obtained by a study
of economics, staff control and business law.
The student’s time in the fourth year, is divided between strictly
technical work in college and an attempt to co-ordinate with this the
cooperative industrial work in industry. In this manner, the practical
side of his profession is emphasized. The technical work in school
consists of applying the principles developed in the previous year
to definite engineering problems. This is done by a study of power
plants, turbines, internal combustion engines, heating and ventilation
and structural design. In the laboratories, tests are made on various
machines to determine their operating characteristics; fuels and
lubricating oils are examined; materials are studied both from the
machine tool view-point and their heat treatment and metallurgical
properties. The economic side of the question is further emphasized by
courses in management and staff control.
Students who have satisfactorily completed the first three years of
work in mechanical engineering may choose the aeronautical option
courses in the fourth year. In this course, some of the more general
subjects in mechanical engineering are replaced by more specialized
instruction in aeronautics.
Arrangements may be made whereby students of aeronautical subjects,
who wish to enroll in the aircraft mechanics course at the Casey Jones
School in Newark or in flying courses at the various fields, will
receive credit in their co-operative work for such time spent in these
courses. This work may be taken during the summer or during the regular
co-operative period. The cost of such courses must be carried by the
student; it is not included in the regular college fees.
The student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
holds eight to ten meetings a year at the college. All students in the
department are expected to attend these meetings.
Engineering Drawing
The aim in Engineering Drawing is to so train all the students of the
engineering departments that they will be able to write, to read, and
to understand the universal language of Engineering Drawing.
The work is designed as training for engineers, not draftsmen,
therefore an attempt has been made to eliminate copy work as such, and
to place stress upon an understanding of what is being done and of the
reasons for doing it that way.
The ability to make good freehand sketches rapidly, easily and
accurately is an asset to any engineer. Much time and attention is,
therefore, devoted to sketching. An engineer must, also, be able to
inspect a drawing and know whether or not it is well drawn, accurate
and complete, so training is given in checking drawings.
The work is so planned that opportunities for the exercise of planning,
judgment and initiative are given to each student.
Every student is urged to set for himself a high standard in each of
the following items:
1. Accuracy--accuracy is a necessity.
Exactness, completeness, and fitness are of the utmost importance in
the work of an engineer. A working drawing, no matter how pleasing
its appearance, is worthless if the dimensions on it are incorrect,
if important dimensions and notes are lacking, or if a job completed
according to instructions on it will not function properly. Drawings
lacking in accuracy are not acceptable.
2. Appearance--a good appearance is a predisposing factor.
The appearance of a drawing depends upon a few simple and easily
mastered elements.
_Balance_: No crowding, no great open spaces.
_Proportion_: Of letters to views--of views to the size of
the drawing.
_Line Work_: Clear-cut and uniform.
_Lettering_: Well formed and well proportioned.
Poorly lettered drawings are not acceptable.
_Cleanliness_: Keep hands and tools clean.
3. Speed--Time is the essence of the contract.
Speed depends upon understanding, planning, mastering of technique and
most of all upon concentration.
The Mechanical Engineering Laboratories
The Mechanical Engineering Laboratory is designed to meet the general
purposes of testing and studying machines and materials. It consists of
several distinct sections devoted to the special phases of experimental
engineering. These sections are as follows: steam, internal combustion
engines, flow of fluids, hydraulics, fuels and oils, metallurgy and
heat treatment, and machine tools.
The steam division of the laboratory consists of a steam boiler,
simple, automatic and compound engines, low speed and high speed
turbines, jet and surface condensers, feedwater heater, pumps, weighing
tanks, meters and calorimeters. Each machine is equipped with apparatus
for measuring quantities conforming with the A. S. M. E. test codes.
The internal combustion engine section includes Diesel engines, a gas
engine, Diesel and gasoline automotive engines and water and air cooled
airplane engines. Each test engine is connected to a dynamometer.
Instruments are provided for making the necessary measurements called
for in standard testing. Several engines are used for study purposes.
The flow of fluids laboratory makes provisions for the study of the
flow characteristics of steam, air and liquids. Instruments used in
measuring the flow of fluids are examined and tested. Steam nozzles
and orifices are attached to a condenser for steam flow tests. A
forced draft fan and a two-stage air compressor provide air for the
investigation of the flow in ducts, nozzles, orifices and general air
machines. A small wind-tunnel permits the examination of air flow
around small models. The loss of head in pipes, fittings and valves can
be tested.
The hydraulic division contains centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, an
open flow channel, weirs, nozzles, orifices, weighing tanks and meters.
Hydraulic machines are tested. The friction loss in pipes and fittings
is examined.
The fuel and oil section of the laboratory is equipped to make the
various standard test of these materials. This includes calorimeters,
viscosimeters, flash and fire point testers, distillation outfit
and flue-gas analysis equipment. A lubarometer is used to test the
coefficient of friction of lubricating oils and to study the effects of
various bearing metals.
The metallographic and heat treatment laboratories are equipped with
gas and electric furnaces, each with temperature measuring instruments,
for the melting and heat treatment of metals. Microscopes, both visual
and photographic, are used for the examination of metal structures.
Grinding and polishing machines are provided for the preparation of
specimens.
The machine tool section of the laboratory is equipped with lathes,
milling machines, shapers, grinders, gas welding outfit and the usual
small tools required for metal cutting. While the major part of the
machine shop instruction is given in connection with the co-operative
industrial work, this laboratory is used to demonstrate shop practice
and machine tool methods in general.
The test work in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory is designed to
familiarize the student with the construction details, features of
operation, methods of control and the comparative merits of the various
machines. The student is taught to operate these machines in the safest
possible manner and test them along the lines adopted by the various
professional engineering societies.

SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION in the DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
ME 1 Engineering Drawing and Descriptive Geometry.
The objective of this course is the development of the
students’ ability and judgment in the field of engineering
drawing. The work of the course is based upon case studies
accompanied by short informal lectures upon modern
commercial practice and upon the theory on which such
practice is based. Emphasis is placed on speed, accuracy,
neatness and on the techniques by which these are obtained.
The course includes study of and practice in lettering,
line work, projection, conventions, tracing, sketching,
shop standards, the use of notes, the reading of blue
prints, the reading of layout drawings, pictorial
representation, developments, and checking as applied to
commercial engineering drawing.
_Text: Freshman Engineering Drawing Notes._
ME 2 Engineering Drawing. Prerequisite ME 1.
The principles laid down in the previous year’s work are
applied to a series of problems in structural drafting,
concrete work, gear drawing developments, and welded steel
work. Such additional work in descriptive geometry as is
necessary for each drawing is given as the work develops.
An opportunity is given to learn modern drafting practice,
the way a drafting room is managed, and to develop the
basis for future courses in design and engineering.
_Text: Sophomore Engineering Drawing Notes._
ME 7 Shop Practice.
A course for sophomore mechanical students, given in two
parts.
Part 1--Surveying and Machine Layout. Three hours a week
for half a semester are devoted to laboratory work in
machine layout. This includes surveys of existing equipment
and exercises in establishing lines and elevations for
setting machines and equipment.
Part 2--Machine Tools. Three hours a week for half a
semester are devoted to a laboratory course in machine tool
practice. Experiments are carried out in the machine shop
and visits are made to industrial shops.
_Text: Busse, “Surveying Notes”; “Shop Notes”, Turner,
“Machine Tool Work”._
ME 10 Mechanisms. Prerequisites Math 21, Mech 20.
This course is essentially one of preparation for the
succeeding work in machine design. It includes the study of
links, bands and contact motion; of gears and gear teeth,
epicyclic trains and cams. The recitations and lectures are
supplemented by work in the drafting room where numerous
problems are solved graphically.
_Text: Schwamb, Merrill and James, “Elements of
Mechanisms”._
ME 14 Machine Design. Prerequisites, ME 2, ME 10 and concurrent with
Phys 30.
A course for senior mechanical engineering students.
This course continues the work of the previous year in
Mechanisms. It is outlined to place emphasis on the
strength as well as the motion of machine elements and
their final assembly into the complete machine. The
theory of the graphic solutions of problems is developed
and applied to the analysis of the stress in machines,
including the effects of friction. Both theoretical and
empirical methods are applied to the design of machines.
Its purpose is to instruct students to attack problems in
a direct and orderly manner. Three hours of lectures and
recitations and three hours of drafting room work per week
throughout the year.
_Text: Faires, “Design of Machine Elements”, Fairman and
Cutshall, “Graphic Statics”._
ME 16 Machine Design. Prerequisite, ME 2 and Concurrent with Phys 30.
A course in design for non-mechanical students. This course
is subdivided into two parts. Part one deals with general
design and is further divided into two sub-groups. The
first part of this sub-group deals with what is commonly
called Mechanisms and the second part deals with subject
matter which is usually associated with Machine Design
courses which should lead to the ability to proportion
parts of machine elements. Part two is for the purpose of
making the student acquainted with materials and their
characteristics through microscopic examination. In this
part of the work the student is required to examine not
only steels but non-ferrous materials such as brasses and
alloys of aluminum as well. This information coupled with
that given in Course Phys 30 should acquaint the student
with materials from any points of view and should make him
conscious of the important part played by materials in
design work.
_Text: Hyland and Kommers, “Machine Design”._
ME 18 Graphics and Structural Design. Prerequisite, Phys 30.
The theory of graphic statics is developed. It is then
applied to beams, columns, roof trusses, cranes, etc. The
theory of re-enforced concrete is studied. Design problems
on conveyers, foundations, cranes, chimneys and walls are
worked out. A classroom and drafting room course for senior
mechanical engineering students.
_Text: Opdyke and Schweizer, “Graphic and Structural Design
Notes”._
ME 20 Physical Metallurgy. Prerequisite, CH 11.
This course deals with the study of metals by means
of microscopic examination. The subject is introduced
by a discussion which aims to define a metal. This is
followed by an explanation of metallic properties and the
distinction between metals, non-metals, and metalloids. The
standard equilibrium diagrams for binary alloys are then
studied and include the liquid to solid and the solid to
solid transformations that take place. This is followed
by a detailed study of the iron, iron-carbon diagram. The
effect on the microscopic structure due to the addition
of a third element such as nickel, manganese, chromium,
vanadium, tungsten, etc., is then studied.
The equilibrium diagrams of the copper-zinc and aluminum
copper are then studied in detail.
In addition to these discussions the student is required
to prepare for microscopic examination and to take
photo-micrographs of such materials as cast iron, cold
rolled steel, carbon steels, standard S. A. E. Steels such
as nickel, nickel-chromium and molybdenum steels, brasses
and aluminum alloys, etc.
_Text: Van Wert, “Introduction to Physical Metallurgy”,
Woldman, “Physical Metallurgy”, “Metallurgy Laboratory
Manual”._
ME 22 Metallography. Prerequisite, ME 20.
This course consists of three hours a week of work in the
Metallographic Laboratory. The subject matter includes
the determination of critical points; calibration of
thermo-couples; study of gas and electric heat treating
furnaces, and the effect of heat treatment on steels,
brasses and alloys of aluminum. The student is required
to prepare specimens for microscopic examination to study
them under the microscope and photograph them in order
to determine whether or not he has secured the required
structures in heat treatment. The change in such physical
properties as hardness is also studied. This course
emphasizes the fact that microscopic examination is a
valuable adjunct rather than a purely laboratory procedure.
_Text: Woldman, “Physical Metallurgy”._
ME 30 Thermodynamics. Prerequisites, Math 21, Phys 3.
A Junior Course for mechanical engineering students. The
thermodynamic theory of gases and vapors is studied with
respect to both source of energy and the methods of making
it available. The subject matter includes a study of energy
and its availability; the properties of gases and vapors;

The technical work of the engineer requires him to write notes,
letters, and reports in a clear, correct, and concise manner. He must
be able to read both technical and non-technical writing quickly and
accurately. His advancement will depend upon the impression which he
makes upon his superiors. Consequently the spoken English which he uses
in conversation and in meetings will affect his professional progress.
The reading of good literature will help him to understand how
different sorts of people will act and feel under various conditions,
and so will aid him in solving problems involving personal relations.
As the engineer advances in his profession his contacts are more and
more with men who do not have a technical background. With these men
he cannot use scientific language, the terminology and formulas of
chemistry or mathematics. If he is to make himself clear, he must be
able to use the English language in a way which will make his hearers
understand his facts and ideas. If he is to persuade his hearers that
what he advocates is the proper thing to do, he must speak or write so
that they feel that he is a competent, trustworthy man.
During the first two years of his course, the student is trained in
writing, speaking, and reading. The training consists largely in
practice: in writing on assigned subjects, in speaking before a group
of about a hundred, and in reading selections from literature which
have interest to an engineer. Practice in writing and speaking continue
during the last two years of the course: the student prepares and
presents reports in his various professional courses.
Concurrent with the work of the first two years in English is a series
of lectures on the history of industrial civilization. These are
intended to give the student an appreciation of the broader aspects of
engineering development and particularly of its social results. They
also furnish material for the written work of the student in his study
of English.
SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION in the DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
Eng 10 English.
The aims of this course are to train the student to express
ideas in writing and speech, and to read rapidly and
accurately. He learns to write by writing, by having his
mistakes pointed out, and by correcting them. He learns to
speak by speaking before a group of about a hundred, and by
being criticized by the group and by the instructor.
(a) Selections from literature which have engineering
interest are read, some of them being abstracted.
Translations from foreign classics are included
with excerpts from English literature.
(b) Two hours per week are given to the writing of
themes, based in general on the material gathered
in (a) and in Course Eng 50. One hour per week
is spent in class work on the principles of English
composition, particularly as applied to technical
writing.
(c) One hour per week is applied to practice in oral
English. At first the students read before the
class themes which they have written; later they
speak without notes on current topics of engineering
interest.

An important function of this department is to test, orient, and guide
the student. Starting in the freshman year the student is advised, by
means of psychological tests, as to his fitness for engineering. Later,
the Staff Control course offers an opportunity to guide the student
in the field of human relationships. Guidance in this field is as
important as it is in engineering study.
Many engineering graduates are entering the fields of manufacturing,
selling, and administration. These men should have not only a knowledge
of the fundamentals of engineering, but also a knowledge of economic
theory, business functions, and human relationships. It is also
believed that a knowledge of these subjects will be beneficial to those
men who remain in the engineering field.
Therefore, in addition to the training in the fundamental principles
of engineering, every student in the Newark College of Engineering
is required to take all of the courses listed in the Department of
Industrial Engineering.
This department serves as a link between industry and the college. It
is responsible for the direction and administration of student work in
industrial plants and organizations. Beginning in the freshman year,
students are interviewed several times to determine their fitness and
their preferences regarding placement in industrial plants. Records of
these interviews are used in placing students in industrial work and in
summer work.
The department arranges for the placement of students in industry and
for the details of working plans or programs for each student. After
the student is placed, contact with the employer is maintained by
frequent visits to the plant. The progress of each student is carefully
supervised, and, in cooperation with a representative of the firms,
records are kept showing the progress of each student throughout the
period of his employment. Students must receive a satisfactory mark in
their industrial work before they are eligible for graduation.
The department seeks to give the student effective individual
_guidance_, a gradual, consistent _orientation_ to his professional
life, and a keen awareness of human relation values of his obligations
as a citizen and a member of society.
The department uses as mediums, certain courses extending over
the college career, established _psychological_ tests, supervised
industrial placement, personal interviews, thorough treatment of Staff
Control, Economics and Management and lectures and group discussions
with men prominent in fields connected with this program.
The department also acts as a link between its graduates and industry.
It conducts a placement bureau for the purpose of helping the graduates
better their employment opportunities.
SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION in the DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
Ind E 11 Principles of Engineering. (The College).
An attempt to interpret to the new student the activities
which go to make up his college experience.
The various catalogued subjects are discussed and their
values indicated and explained as an integral part of
the professional development of an engineer. The why and
wherefore of the various courses and their objectives are
discussed with the students so that they may have a clear
and somewhat definite idea as to the reasons for courses
and instruction material.
As the course proceeds extra-curricular activities are
considered in their relation to the academic values.
The objective of the course is to give some purposeful
direction to the activities of the freshman and to
possibly establish some sense of values inherent in his
undergraduate work.
The course consists of a series of two-hour discussion
periods in subjects carefully and sequentially arranged
and definitely scheduled. The discussions are led by
members chosen from the entire staff for their particular
fitness to explain professional values in terms within the
students’ experience.
Ind E 12 Principles of Engineering (The Industry).
A series of discussions centering about personal problems
having for its object the preparation of the student for
the required industrial experience to follow his sophomore
year. Believing that general attitudes, point of view,
emotional and personality factors are of the greatest
importance in any common enterprise, the discussions are so
directed as to clarify some of the common misconceptions
concerning modern industrial practice as it touches the
individual.
A serious attempt is made to induce the student to
undertake some constructive program of personality and
character development, to meet the standards required of
those who can successfully live and work together. While
the work of the previous year has served to explain the
internal standards and objectives of the college, this
continuation of the course explains the aims, objectives
and values inherent in the great industrial laboratory.
Ind E 13 Staff Control.
The subject matter of this course includes those factors
which have to do with human behavior and with human
relation problems. It deals with the coordination of the
young engineer with his environment. Particular attention
is given to the professional, economic, social, emotional
and moral phases of this correlation.
In the junior year the students discuss twenty-five to
thirty books on human relations and subjects which affect
human behavior. The subject matter of these books, in
outline form, is presented to the class by the students.
Ind E 14 Staff Control.
In the senior year the students discuss problems in human
relations. Many of these problems, which are presented in
written form by the students, consist of incidents which
have taken place in the cooperative firms. Therefore
the cooperative firms may be viewed as human relation
laboratories, furnishing real and vital problems for the
students.
The discussion groups provide an opportunity for the
students to discuss and analyze these problems which now
face them; and also problems which may face them later in
their profession and their every day life.
Ind E 21 Industrial Management.
This course includes a study of the industrial plant, its
design, layout, and equipment; organization, production
control, time and motion study, standardization, cost
finding and engineering economy studies. The object of the
course is to present to the students some of the important
principles underlying modern management methods.

Ind E 22 Industrial Management.
This course is similar to Ind E 21 but is less extensive in
nature.
_Text: Kimball, “Principles of Industrial Management”._
Ind E 31 Economics.
This course in the fundamentals of Economics is presented
from the business man’s point of view and includes many
concrete examples and illustrations from the world of
business. Some of the subjects discussed are economic
concepts, the nature of production, organization of
modern business, size of business units, specialization,
process of exchange, money, business cycles, monopolies,
international trade, business risks, distribution of income.
_Text: Bye, “Principles of Economics”._
Ind E 41 Accounting.
This course is intended to give the engineering student the
fundamentals of accounting. Only enough general bookkeeping
and accounting is supplied to make the course practical and
to provide a proper groundwork. Emphasis is placed on the
preparation and analysis of statements, the calculation of
fixed assets, and control features.
_Text: Reitell and Van Sickle, “Accounting Principles for
Engineers”._
Ind E 51 Business Law.
An elementary study of the principles of the Common Law as
applied to business relations. Students are required to
study definite parts of the text in preparation for each
meeting of the class. The class time is divided between
discussion of the subject matter and written quizzes. The
subjects given particular attention are: The definition
of “contract”, and a detailed study of each element of
the definition; agency; sales; partnerships and (briefly)
corporations; negotiable instruments; patents, copyrights
and trade-marks; master and servant; damages; evidence.
A practicing patent attorney gives special lectures on the
subject of patents.

Engineering”._
Ind E 60 Cooperative Work.
This is industrial placement offered to selected groups of
pre-Junior students who have demonstrated their ability,
and have given some indication that they will capitalize
the experience.
The placement is designed to furnish the laboratory
work for the courses in Staff Control, Management, and
Economics, and to provide general motivation for the
professional courses given during the last two years. The
student gains the experience of adjusting himself to a new
and usually different environment, learns at first-hand
some of the factors which affect a young man’s progress in
industry, and has the opportunity to observe the practical
application, and the limitations, of some of his academic
subjects.
The College maintains close contact with the industrial
firm and obtains frequent reports on the student’s personal
qualities. These reports are discussed with the student in
individual consultations.
Ind E 61 Cooperative Work.
This work is similar to Ind E 60. It is offered to selected
groups of pre-Senior students.

Confidence in his ability to solve the mathematical problems which will
confront him in training and practice is a very necessary qualification
for the successful student of engineering. Not only must he be able to
solve these problems, but he must know that his solutions are correct.
The courses in mathematics given to all students during the freshman
and sophomore years aim to provide this confidence.
Emphasis is placed not on acquiring information, but on developing
skill,--skill in analyzing problems and arriving accurately and
efficiently at their solution. Consequently, much time is given to
written work under careful supervision of the instructors. Neatness and
orderly arrangement are stressed, as well as efficiency of methods and
the checking of results.
In the sophomore year the same division of time between classroom
recitations and written exercises is continued. Here the student adds
a powerful tool to his equipment in the theory of the differential and
integral calculus. Applications of the methods studied include many
practical problems from various types of engineering work.
Beside the minimum requirements for completing the courses mentioned
above, a large number of extra problems is included to provide further
training for students of superior ability. For those who plan to go
into fields of research or to continue their studies after graduation,
the Department offers certain advanced courses designed as preparation
for graduate work. These may be elected by upper classmen in addition
to the regular courses.
SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION in the DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
Math 1 Freshman Mathematics.
In order to enable him to handle accurately and efficiently
the mathematics of engineering subjects, the student is
given a thorough training in the analysis and solution of
problems, and in the performance of numerical calculations,
including the use of slide-rule and logarithmic methods.
The following subject matter will be included:
Plane Trigonometry: review of the solution of right and
oblique triangles and fundamental trigonometric analysis.
Geometry: review of the use of mensuration formulas for
plane and solid figures.
Algebra: review of fundamental operations, and
simplification of fractional forms; solution of equations
and simultaneous equations, linear and quadratic, and
the approximate solution of equations of higher degree;
exponents and radicals; complex numbers, variation,
binominal theorem, and progressions (with applications to
compound interest and annuities).
Analytic Geometry: fundamental formulas; general curve
plotting; equations of the straight line, circle and
conic sections (with applications); polar coordinates;
translation and rotation of axes; and an introduction to
solid analytic geometry.
_Texts: Oglesby and Cooley, “Plane Trigonometry”; Pettit
and Luteyn, “College Algebra”; H. B. Phillips, “Analytic

Math 21 Calculus. Prerequisite, Math 1.
Topics include the technique of differentiation; maxima
and minima, rates, curvature, parametric equations,
differentials, series, and partial differentiation;
technique of integration; areas, volumes, lengths,
surfaces, centroids, moments of inertia, fluid pressure,
work, multiple integrals, and approximate integration by
Simpson’s Rule.
The theory and technique of both differentiation and
integration are studied during the first term, with a
few simple applications, mostly geometric in character.
The second term affords opportunity for many practical
applications from various fields of engineering. The aim of
a set of general review problems during the last few weeks
is to teach not only how to use the methods previously
studied, but when to use them--i.e., whether the nature
of a problem suggests an exact analytical solution, or an
approximate or graphical solution.

Two advanced courses, Differential Equations (first term)
and Vector Analysis (second term), are optional for Juniors
in addition to the work of the regular curriculum. No
attempt will be made to give an exhaustive mathematical
treatment, but certain parts of these subjects will be
taught together with other related material necessary for
the solution of important problems in all branches of
engineering.
_Text: Doherty and Keller, “Mathematics of Modern
Engineering”. Vol I._
Math 31 Differential Equations. First and second order
equations of common occurrence; linear differential
equations of any order with constant coefficients, and
systems of linear equations; determinants; Fourier series
and harmonic analysis.
Math 32 Vector Analysis. Algebra and calculus of vectors;
line and surface integrals, and potential theory; vector
operators, and their application to electromagnetic
theory and the derivation of certain partial differential
equations of mathematical physics.
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICS

The courses in mechanics are designed to provide the student with
a sound foundation in a subject which occupies a position of basic
importance in all branches of engineering and especially in the
analysis and design of machines and structures.
While some emphasis is placed on routine calculations and development
of formulas, the main objective of the courses is to present general
methods of attack and a scientific point of view. The greatest emphasis
is placed upon the ability to carry on sustained work at reasonably
high levels.
A considerable portion of the time in the courses is devoted to the
solution of problems of a practical nature and largely drawn from the
field of engineering. In connection with these problems stress is laid
on clearness of statement and accuracy of formulation and solution.
The technique and methodology are considered of extreme importance in
undergraduate study.
The recitations are individual as far as possible and are supplemented
by group discussions. It is believed that progressive tests are the
fairest criteria for determining the students’ mastery of the subject.
Written examinations form an essential part of the courses.

The Department of Physics is in charge of the course in Physics given
to Freshmen and Sophomores, and of the course in Strength of Materials
given to Juniors.
It is the objective of the course in Physics to provide a knowledge
of the fundamentals of the subject and to teach these fundamentals as
prerequisite to later work in professional subjects rather than as
basic principles in a discreet scientific subject. To this end the
engineering aspects of the subject are stressed more than would be the
case in General College Physics.
The schedule of instruction includes a rather small amount of formal
lecturing with a large amount of informal recitation and problem work
together with one afternoon each week spent in Laboratory. Effort is
made to unify the instruction in the class room and in the laboratory.
The work in the latter, which is largely quantitative, is designed to
present fresh problems for the students’ solution as far as possible
rather than to require routine rechecking of known constants.
The course in Strength of Materials is designed to present the
fundamental causes of the strain in material under stress. Effort is
made to present a course which may be of common benefit to each of the
four professional departments in the College. Instruction is carried
out by means of lectures and recitations and one-half day per week
spent in the Laboratory. The laboratory is designed to demonstrate the
theory presented in the class room and thus furnish visual evidence of
the accuracy of theoretical assumptions.
The Physics Laboratory
The Physics Department is supplied with two laboratories, adequately
equipped with standard and special apparatus for quantitative
measurements in elementary mechanics, heat, sound, light, and
electricity. Its furnishings include sensitive physical balances,
acceleration apparatus, coincidence and compound pendulums, Young’s
Modulus and centrifugal force apparatus, force tables, ballistic
pendulums, microscopes, radiation equipment, and specially designed
equipment for obtaining centers of gravity and moments of inertia of
various specimens.
Equipment is at hand for performing standard experiments in heat.
Kundt’s tubes, electric tuning forks and resonance tubes are provided
for experiments in sound. Measurements in light employ diffraction
gratings, prisms, lenses, and mirrors. A first class optical bench with
Lummer-Brodhun head, 30″ sphere photometer, illuminometer, and Weston
Photronic cells are used for illumination measurements. An equipment of
meters, resistance units, Wheatstone bridges, potentiometer sets and
traction permeameter is provided for elementary electrical measurements.
Strength of Materials Laboratory
The Strength of Materials Laboratory has been designed for the purpose
of student instruction. With this in mind, the size of the apparatus
has been kept within moderate limits so that the student may perform
the test. The laboratory is housed in two adjoining rooms. The first
room is equipped with:
1--100,000 lb Olsen Std. Tension Compression Test Machine.
1--50,000 lb Machine of the same sort.
1--50,000 lb hand operated Riehle Tension Compression Machine
fitted with extra size screw for column work.
1--5000 lb Riehle Machine.
2--Punch Presses for shear studies.
2--Sets of Apparatus for testing Eccentric Riveted Joints.
1--Gyration Pendulum.
1--Polarized Light Stress Analyzer.

In the second room the cement and concrete testing appliances have been
concentrated, including:
1--Riehle Briquette Testing Machine
Concrete Cylinder Moulds
Concrete Beam Moulds
Vicat Needles
Briquette Moulds, etc.
Moist Storage Cabinet
Sand and Gravel Bins
1--Power Concrete Mixer
SUBJECTS OF INSTRUCTION in the DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
Phys 1 Introductory Problems in Physics.
An introductory course to familiarize the student with the
best methods and procedure in performing calculations in
Physics. Practice is given in the use of the slide rule,
logarithms, mathematical and physical tables, construction
of graphs and curves, co-ordinate and tabular ruled paper.
Emphasis is placed upon the arrangement of work, efficiency
of calculations and methods of attack. The question of
precision is introduced through simple measurements and
calculations and is emphasized throughout the work of the
year. A set of problems has been compiled which aims to
present the elementary principles of physics as basic to
all engineering problems.
The work of the second term continues this approach, with
special emphasis upon the proper preparation of reports in
Physics. All of this work is done under conditions which
approximate the environment of the engineering computing
office.
Phys 2 and Phys 3. General Physics.
The objective of the courses in General Physics is a
knowledge of the fundamental laws of physical science,
visualized as the foundation for later professional
work. To this end, the courses are administered from the
Engineering rather than the Scientific viewpoint.
Phys 2.
Elementary Mechanics--Linear and curvilinear motion; simple
force system; energy and power; static forces in fluids;
simple harmonic motion.
The laboratory work which accompanies this course is
entirely quantitative and is designed to aid, by physical
demonstration the development of the concepts originated
in the classroom. To this end, the laboratory experimental
work follows as closely as possible after the classroom
exercises so that the essential unity of the two may be
impressed upon the student’s mind. An effort is made to
develop the student’s capacity for sustained careful
observation and deduction, and to initiate good practice in
the matter of recording and reporting upon scientific and
engineering data. Great stress is placed upon the precision
of the results obtained in the laboratory.

Phys 30 Strength of Materials. Prerequisites: Math 21, Mech 20.
The object of a study of Strength of Material is:
First, to determine the relations between the external
forces acting on a body and the internal forces or stress
and between external forces and the deformations or
strains, so that the stresses may be determined from known
loads or from measured strains or the strains determined
from known loads.
Second, to obtain a knowledge of those properties of
engineering materials necessary to an understanding of
these relations.
Among the topics covered are stress-strain curves,
properties of engineering materials, thin-walled cylinders,
riveted joints, combined stresses and strains, torsion,
statically determinate and statically indeterminate beams,
shear diagrams, moment diagrams, elastic curves, flexure
formula, Euler column formula, Gordon-Rankine formula,
straight line column formula, repeated loads, fatigue of
metals, impact and energy loads, stresses in flat plates,
and reinforced concrete beams.
An introduction to the use of a handbook is accomplished
by instruction in the A. I. S. C. handbook and by the
assignment of special problems for solution in class under
supervision.
In the laboratory, tests are performed to verify the
theoretical considerations studied in the classroom work.
These include a study of testing machines, tension test of
metal, test of riveted joint, compression tests, Brinell
hardness, wood tests, strength of cement and mortar,
concrete in bond and tension, construction and test of a
reinforced concrete beam, slender column tests, torsion in
shafts, and stress analysis by means of polarized light.

law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
States without permission and without paying copyright
royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™

and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following
the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use
of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for
copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very
easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation
of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project
Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may
do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected
by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark

Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.
Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.
The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
