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.

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.
