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.

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.
