The scope of the Engineering Experiment Station covers research in engineering problems of general interest to the citizens of the State of Washington. The work of the station is made available to the public through technical reports, popular bulletins, and public service. The last named includes tests and analyses of coal, tests and analyses of road materials, testing of commercial steam pipe coverings, calibration of electrical instruments, testing of strength of materials, efficiency studies in power plants, testing of hydraulic machinery, testing of small engines and motors, consultation with regard to theory and design of experimental apparatus, preliminary advice to inventors, etc.

Requests for copies of the engineering bulletins and inquiries for information on engineering and industrial problems should be addressed to Director, The Engineering Experiment Station, State College of Washington, Pullman, Washington.

The Control of the Engineering Experiment Station is vested in the Board of Regents of the State College of Washington.
