In prejMring
for
a career in engineering,
the
students must
take three basic science courses, industrial proc1sses,. chemis–
try
and physics.
The Industrial
Proce~~e~
Course
I8I'Y8I
as a general
sc:lence
course for the prospective engineer.
The
dejMrfment introduces
science at Tech by giving new students an understanding
of
sQme
of
nature's raw materials; their sources, proc:eaing,
uses,
structures and properties.
Tech's Chemistry OejMrtment
is
designed to help al Tech–
nita understand the basic concepts
of
chemistry. In addition,
expe imental courses help keep speciatrzed students abreast
of the changes in the chemical industry.
The physics O.jMrtment's obiedfve
is
to give the students
an understanding of the prindples which
form
the
basis
of
many engineering fields. Among
the
topics learned ant
elec–
tricity, magnetism, heat, nuclear and atomic
physics
and
theories. Tbe new, revised physics course combines
the
basic
methods of Harvard and PSSC physics.
