COURSES OF STUDY. 



The engineering administration course established last year was avail- 

 able for Juniors in the fall term of the current year with 60 per cent 

 of the Juniors enrolled, and for Sophomores in the spring term with 45 

 per cent enrolled. 



The course may be said to be successfully launched. 



In accord with the general faculty plan for reduction in credit hours, 

 all engineering courses have been remodeled, with 15 credit hours per 

 term for the first two years and 17 credit hours per term for the last 

 two years. The new courses will be presented and described in the col- 

 lege catalog. 



ENGINEERING RESEARCH. 



A formal recognition of research activity which will serve as a reason 

 for an "engineering experiment station" at M. A. C, has been made by 

 the appointment of a half-time graduate assistant in electrical engineer- 

 ing, radio-communication. 



The legislative appropriation for research will permit and encourage 

 further effort. It is proposed to utilize |3,000 to |5,000 during the com- 

 ing year.
