U NGINEERING IS A LICENSED PROFESSION, AND EDUCATIONALPATTERNS
1 1 must meet certain professional standards. Such standards are
assured by periodic inspection of the School by off-campus teams
operating under the Engineers' Council for Professional Development
(E.C.P.D.), a national, unified accreditation organization. If the
periodic inspection and evaluation so indicates, curricula are "ac-
credited." Curricula keep the accredited rating as long as repeated
inspections indicate that standards are maintained and that the objec-
tives of the School in its relationship to the University are being met.
Major curricula at Oregon State are accredited with Civil, Electrical and Electronic, and Mechanical Engineering being accredited
in 1937, Chemical Engineering in 1942, Agricultural Engineering in
1949, and Industrial Engineering in 1950. Each department has main-
tained its accredited status since the initial date.

THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING at Oregon State University was
established more than seventy years ago. Since the inception,
the School has awarded 8,846 B.S. or B.A. degrees, 722 M.S.
or M.A. degrees, 70 professional degrees, and 72 Ph.D. degrees.
Every effort is directed toward excellence of instruction, at
both the undergraduate and graduate level. The reputations
of the more than ten thousand degree holders attest the accomplishment.
Opportunity in Engineering
For many years, there has been a shortage of properly
educated technical people. In spite of periodic fluctuations in
employment, the technical nature of the industrial complex indicates extensive opportunities in the future. Companies search
constantly for men and women capable of assuming responsibility in production, operation, construction, research and development, maintenance, consulting, administration, and sales
and service. Salary and rate of advancement compare favorably
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are awarded from each
of the above-named departments. In addition, the flexibility of
the curricular pattern in general engineering makes it possible,
by judicious selection of electives in the junior-senior years, to
obtain a B.S. degree in optional specialties.
It should be emphasized that designated degrees, offered
either by departments or as optional patterns, do not involve a
great deal of specialization. Careful examination of the curricula of all departments will show core patterns comprised of basic science, mathematics, engineering science, and
humanities and social science. If the student wishes some specialization, about one-fourth of the total credit hours may be
chosen from departmental subject matter which is offered largely
in the junior and senior years.
Technologies
Intimately associated with Engineering are the technology
with those in other recognized professions.
curricula which are terminal at the B.S. level. Each of the
Engineers apply science. They apply scientific knowledge
and principles to the design and operation of machines and systems; to the design of structures or public works; to the design
of manufacturing processes; to the planning and organization of
professional engineering. Curricula are offered in Production
Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Electric Power
engineering operations; to the selection of materials; to the most
profitable use of manpower and money; and to the generation,
distribution, and control of energy.
Most engineers eventually specialize in one of the more
technology patterns is designed to provide support personnel for
Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology. Prospective students should make inquiry regarding opportunities, requirements, and limitations of the technology patterns. Curricula
outlines and course descriptions are included at the end of the
engineering
section of the catalog.
than fifty-two branches of the profession or they may specialize
in the particular problems of one type of industry. There are
many subdivisions of the profession defined by either the general divisions of the technology or the specific areas of application. The basic knowledge required for all areas of engineering
provides flexibility and makes it possible to shift from one field
of specialization
to another. In fact, the strong and
rigorous
pattern of education for the profession provides sound preparation for many pursuits other than engineering.
Admission
New students must meet the customary requirements of the
University for admission. To engage in the regular engineering
program at the freshman level, they must have demonstrated
by score on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests a satisfactory knowledge of mathematics with which placement in physics is correlated. Students without adequate high school courses in physics
and mathematics cannot expect to start the regular program
without some remedial preparation. Students with low SAT
scores and low high school grades are advised not to attempt
the regular freshman year without some remedial preparation.
In addition to a satisfactory grade-point average, transfer
students from non-E.C.P.D. accredited institutions may be required to complete an examination in the field of their major to
establish their ability to engage in courses at the level indicated
by their prior academic record.
Because of the technical and professional requirements of
engineering curricula patterns, which in some instances are
above the minimum requirements of the University, the administration of the School of Engineering reserves the right of final
determination in matters of admission, retention, reinstatement,
placement, and transfer of students.
Departments and Degree Offerings
The School of Engineering is divided into several departments. Freshmen choose their major from among the curricula
of the agricultural, civil, electrical and electronic, general, industrial, mechanical, metallurgical, or nuclear engineering departments. Options in computer science under electrical and
electronic engineering and aerospace engineering under me-
chanical engineering are offered. A cooperative curriculum is
available in engineering physics. Freshman students who have
no firm, specialized interest will be assigned to General Engineering the first year.
Cooperative Programs
In some subject matter areas, cooperative programs are
available by arrangement between various industries or agencies
and the University. These programs provide an opportunity for
on-the-job experience, subsequent to the sophomore year.
Students who have an interest in such programs should consult
their adviser or inquire at the office of the Dean of Engineering.
University Honors Program
The Honors Program in this School is coordinated with
the programs in other Schools and administered by the Director
of the University Honors Program (see page 28). Information
concerning eligibility and application forms may be obtained
from the Director.
Graduate Study
With the increased complexity and sophistication of technol-
ogy has come a great demand, particularly in the engineering
applications, for persons with education beyond the B.S. degree. The School of Engineering offers advanced degrees of
Master of Science (M.S.), Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Engineering, Master of Material Science, Professional degrees, and
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Advanced degree programs, in
all instances, are developed with faculty advisement to meet the
interests and objectives of the individual candidate. Students
who have established satisfactory undergraduate records and
are looking for the greatest opportunity in the professional field
should consider continuation of their education at the graduate
level. General regulations and requirements for all advanced
degrees, including professional degrees and off-campus programs, are printed under the GRADUATE SCHOOL.
Advisement and Placement
Each student in the School of Engineering is assigned to a
faculty adviser. Details and procedures dealing with registration, course selection, professional opportunities, personal prob-
lems, academic regulations, etc., should be discussed with the
adviser. All advisement functions are coordinated by the Personnel Officer assigned to the office of the Dean of Engineering.
School of Engineering
123
The Personnel Officer is responsible for supervision of registration, and for counseling of persons in academic difficulty.
Such advisement within the School results from many years
of experience dealing with similar situations. At times, students
do not wish to accept such advisement. In such cases, the student may be requested to sign a waiver of such advice and the
waiver will be placed in the student file. The waiver relieves
the adviser of the responsibility for the consequences of failure
by the student to accept the advisement.
Since the engineering profession has high regard for ethics
and personal behavior, it is expected that each student will conduct himself in a corresponding manner. Cases of deviation from
expected behavior will be dealt with from the offices of the
Dean of Students and Dean of Engineering.
In some cases of academic difficulty, students are permitted
to remain in the School upon a contract basis with either the
Dean or the Personnel Officer. The terms of such contracts are
considered to be binding upon the student.
The School of Engineering, under the Personnel and Placement Officer, maintains an organized placement service. This
service is available to industrial organizations, undergraduate
and graduate students, and alumni. Services are not restricted
to engineering, but are available in all associated fields. Upon
file in the placement office are listings of positions available,
descriptionsof industrial organizations and governmental agencies, interview schedules, opportunity literature, and guidance
material. No charges are made for the placement service.

CIVIL ENGINEERING
The curriculum in Civil Engineering is
designed to prepare students for a professional career of civil engineering and
responsible positions in business, industry,
private consulting, and government. The
course of study includes basic sciences,
social sciences, and engineering sciences
fundamental to engineering practice.
Courses in engineering analysis and design which cover the fields of structural
engineering, highways and transportation
systems, engineering surveying, hydraulics and water resources engineering, soil
mechanics and foundation engineering,
water supply, waste treatment, water pollution control, municipal engineering, and
engineering planning and economy are
included in the junior and senior years.
Graduate study leading to the M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees is offered by the department. Graduate students can major
in any of the above specialty areas. Ocean
engineering is offered as a graduate major
only since it requires undergraduate prep-
aration. Due to the growing complexity
of modern engineering practice, graduate
study is becoming increasingly necessary
and is recommended for students who
wish to specialize.
The professional practice of engineering requires licensing in all states. Stu-
dents are prepared to take the Engineerin-Training examination of the State lj-
censing board upon graduation and to
take the professional licensing examina-
tion after four years of supervised experience.

The curriculum is designed to provide
a professional education in electrical and
electronics engineering. An experienced
professional staff and adequate facilities
provide competent instruction in many
important areas. Laboratories and equipment, including analog, digital, and hybrid computers, are available for undergraduate, graduate, and staff research.
The undergraduate may use electives
in the sophomore, junior, and senior years
for additional chemistry, physics, mathematics, or language-either as prepara-
tion for graduate work, or as part of a
broader undergraduate program.
Graduate studies through the Ph.D.
are provided in many areas of electrical
and electronics engineering. All graduate
students take a noncredit seminar with
their major professors; this provides a
meeting for all graduate students with
a common major interest. Electives from
other departments are used to strengthen
the graduate students' program, as well
as to provide programs of maximum
benefit to the individual. Advanced semi-
nars in specialized areas are offered when
needed to complete specialized programs
of study. The thesis is required in both
M.S. and Ph.D. programs.
A program in computer science leading to the B.S. degree is offered. Graduate work in this area can be taken in the
regular program of electrical and electronics engineering. Both the under-
graduate and graduate programs have
been established for engineers who are

Engineering, the youngest branch of the
engineering profession, is represented on
the joint Engineering Council by the
American Institute of Industrial Engi-
neers, which body suggests that:
Industrial Engineering is concerned
with the design, improvement, and
installation of integrated systems of
men, materials, and equipment;
drawing upon specialized knowl-
edge and skill in the mathematical,
physical,
and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design, to specify, predict, and evalu-
ate the results to be obtained from
such systems.
The curriculum at Oregon State University is fully accredited by the Engineering Council for Professional Development. Provision is made in Oregon, as
in most other states, for the professional
registration of industrial engineers. At
Oregon State, particular emphasis is
placed on engineering and industrial
management as applied to operations re-

Courses in Technology
Various departments of the School of
Engineering offer technology as well as
professional curricula. The technology
courses of study are designed to provide
support personnel for professional engi-
neering activity. Each curriculum consists of a combination of technology,
business, and general education courses.
In each field, a student's adviser assists
in planning a program that will be suited

nation does not infer lack of opportunity or restriction, but students who
contemplate
any
of the
technologies
should confer with an adviser prior to
enrollment to make sure that the opportunities and limitations of technical
preparation are thoroughly understood.

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department offers a curriculum
in Electric Power Technology, primarily
to prepare for employment with public
and private utility operations. The generation, transmission, and use of electric
power requires the services of people
who understand the functioning of elec-
trical equipment, who understand the
economics of electric power production,
generation, and distribution, who are
aware of the administration problems
of utilities, and who can supervise the
personnel of a large power distribution
complex. Specialized instruction in this
curriculum includes circuits and component,s, instruments, protective equipment, codes, regulations and economy,
power generation, power transmission
and distribution, and use of electrical
energy.
The Mechanical Engineering Tech-
nology curriculum in the Department of
Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering focuses upon heating and air conditioning,
refrigeration,
power plant and power
conversion, metallurgy and materials, internal combustion engines, mechanical
design, and instrumentation and control
systems. Instruction stresses application in
laboratory courses. Students should con-
fer with an adviser to determine an ap-
propriate area of specialization within
this technology.
Students who wish to receive particular information in regard to any of the
technology curricula should direct inquiries to the departments concerned.
