Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Stillwater, Oklahoma May, 1914 A. AND M. COLLEGE PRINTING DEPARTMENT Ti ■ Oklahoma A. & M. College The School of Engineering Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College To those who desire facts concerning the present status of engineering education in our State, this bulletin is respectfully dedicated. While many people are familiar in a general way with the work as carried on at the College, there are many others who have not realized that The School of Engineering is not only many years older than the next oldest in the State, but that it has profited by experience and has developed courses in the various branches so that now a student receives training that, in many respects, rivals that received at the highly endowed institutions of the North and East. The courses as at present outlined represent a standard as high or higher than that offered to any young man in the State by institutions within reasonable distance of his home. The equipment also shows considerable care and forethought in selec- tion, and, while it has a creditable appearance, as evidenced by the illustrations in this pamphlet, the main idea in its selection was the benefit that may be derived by the student when he works on various problems in the laboratory. As has been demonstrated, a boy can become an excellent en- gineer and perhaps never see the inside of one of our modern en- gineering schools, but who of present day parents would care to start their boy with such a handicap? Of the number who start out to make of themselves self-made engineers, very few indeed ever attain any prominence ; while the percentage of failures among college graduates is very small. An engineer at the pres- ent day must be a Mathematician, a Physicist, a Chemist, a Pub- lic Speaker and must, beside these, have many other qualifica- tions. He must know how to use English correctly, he must be a mechanic, he must have a general knowledge of all branches of engineering and a specific knowledge of one particular branch. Such training as above outlined is the aim of instruction offered in engineering at the A. and M. College. The School of Engineering PRESIDENT CONNELL AT HIS DESK Oklahoma A. & M. College 5 PREPARATION The authorities of the institution recognize that in order to train a student for the profession of engineering a good founda- tion is necessary. The work at this College has always been planned so that it could be of most value to those who desired to follow the courses presented. Recently, on account of the in- creasing number of first class high schools throughout the State, the College has been enabled to raise its standard to a straight fifteen units entrance requirement for admission to the Freshman class in the engineering courses. For those who have completed the equivalent of the tenth grade, the engineering preparatory course is planned. This should not be confused with the regular Sub-Freshman course. The student finishing the Sub-Freshman course is admitted without conditions to the Engineering Pre- paratory course. In this latter course every effort is made to make the training thorough and adaptable to the work that is to follow. It will be noted, therefore, by comparison of courses and equipment, that this College is in the front rank with other col- leges and universities offering engineering courses. THE AIM OF THE SCHOOL The aim of the instruction is not to set the "almighty dollar" as a goal for our graduates, but to train young men in a broad way for successful and useful careers in their chosen profession. If we succeed in the latter purpose, the first will not be wanting. While the engineering instruction is not neglected, enough work is required in other courses so that a student learns to appreciate the fact that what he can do as a life work only serves as one small mite toward the public benefit. He learns to find much pleasure in his daily occupation, and after graduation finds that it is not all drudgery. A prominent engineer once said : "A man who designs a high class automobile and sees it in operation de- rives more pleasure than the plutocrat who runs it." This state- ment applies with equal force to any successful engineering work. The School of Engineering The illustration above shows several views in the College Power Plant. The first and second views show some of the engine equip- ment which furnishes power for various purposes about the campus. The equipment in the engine room consists of one I4xi6-inch enclosed, self-oiling Brownell engine directly connected to a IOO K. W. 250- volt, direct current generator, and two ioxio-inch Ideal engines, each directly connected to a 40 K. W. 250-volt, direct current generator. In addition to these there is a motor- Oklahoma A. & M. College generator set connected to the city lines to serve in emergencies. The motor is a 2,500-volt, 60-cycle, 3-phase induction motor rated at 35 horsepower. It will be noted that automatic cutoff engines were used in this plant instead of more economical four-valve or compound engines on account of the fact that for considerable periods in the year the exhaust steam is used for heating purposes. The boiler plant is a model for cleanliness and can serve as a pattern for many commercial and municipal plants in the vicinity. The capacity of this part of the plant is much in excess of the en- gine equipment, having a rating of 770 horsepower, divided as follows : Three 200-horsepower, Babcock & Wilcox watertube boilers, and two return tubular boilers. The illustration shows one battery of two 200-horsepower boilers. The large boiler ca- pacity is to take care of the large heating load. It should be noted that this plant is primarily a central heating plant. The fuel used at the plant is fuel oil. This oil is pumped from a railroad siding at a distance of about a mile and a half. The ca- pacity of the oil storage tank is about four tank cars, or 40,000 gallons. SHOP BUILDING, IN WHICH ARE HOUSED THE WOOD, FORGE SHOPS AND THE FOUNDRY MACHINE AND 8 . The School of Engineering BUILDINGS FOR ENGINEERING INSTRUCTION Our frontispiece shows an elevation of the new Engineering Building. This building represents the embodiment of the most advanced ideas in design of buildings for engineering instruction. The 36,000 square feet of floor space is devoted to the various laboratories, classrooms, drawing rooms, offices and the engineer- ing library. The building is 150 by 80 feet, three stories high, built of reinforced concrete and brick, with trimmings of white limestone, and presents a very handsome appearance. It is abso- lutely fireproof. The Shop Building provides accommodations for the various shops necessary for engineering instruction, namely, the machine shop, forge, foundry and carpenter shops. These shops repre- sent a combined floor space of 11,200 square feet. In addition to the above, the modern power plant of the Col- lege, in which are housed boilers of 770 horsepower capacity, high class engines and auxiliaries, is available for tests conducted by engineering students. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Besides all of the various literary, social and athletic organi- zations of A. and M. College open to all students, there are the two organizations, The Engineering Society and the student branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, for the These societies not only give the student a broader WOOD TURNING AND PATTERN MAKING Oklahoma A. & M. College A CLASS IN THE MACHINE SHOP view of his profession, but promote a social intermingling that is so necessary in broadminded men. The Engineering Society meets regularly every other Wednes- day, at which time technical papers are presented. Manufactur- ing or large engineering projects are shown by motion pictures. This society publishes a bulletin in which timely engineering top- ics are discussed. During the May Carnival at the College this society always has an elaborate engineering entertainment, be- sides one or more smaller functions during the year. A branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers is located at the College. The members all receive the publications of the parent organization. THE SCHOOL AN AID TO THE PEOPLE AT LARGE The School of Engineering is always at the service of the peo- ple of Oklahoma and its Faculty answers inquiries regarding en- gineering problems that arise — if the service does not involve questions regarding the relative merit of manufactured machines, and the information desired does not call for too much of the De- partment's time in answering. No charge is made for such ser- vice for residents in the State, and replies are made promptly, if within the scope of The School. Besides the above service, the laboratories are equipped with apparatus for commercial testing of building materials, of ma- chinery, and various other engineering investigations that may be desired by municipalities, public or private corporations or by in- dividuals. The expenses in such instances are borne by the per- sons for whom the work is done. The approximate cost can be learned by addressing The School of Engineering of the College. 10 The School of Engineering A partial list of the tests that can he conveniently undertaken is given in the following" : I I eating value of coal and fuel oil. Proximate analysis of coals. Tests of electrical apparatus. Tests of electrical installations. Tests of road-building materials — stone, brick, asphalt. Tests of building materials. Tests of pumps. Tests of boilers. Tests of steam and gas engines. Tests of complete power plants. Calibration of instruments. ENGINEERING SHORT COURSE Another step in advance has been made by The School of Engineering in the establishment of an Engineering Short Course, to be given in Stillwater during the regular College Short Course Week in January. This is in no way offered as a substitute for our regular courses in engineering, as it has been shown that the length of courses as now scheduled should be a minimum in which to train engineers, but the short course is offered to help the lay- man and the artisan to solve problems which he may encounter in everyday life. The lectures and demonstrations that are planned are of an eminently practical nature. This course begins Mon- day, January n, 191 5. APPARATUS FOR FUEL TESTING Oklahoma A. & M. College II DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING R. E. Chandler, Professor Charles Jablow, Assistant Professor E. E. Brewer, Foreman of Shops C. W. Skinner, Instructor in Wood Shop F. R. Bradley, Instructor in Machine SIiop The field of Mechanical Engineering is perhaps as diversified as any young engineer may wish. The broadest division of the work is practically covered by the following: Power Develop- ment, Power Transmission, Power Utilization, Manufacture, De- signing, Testing, Heating and Ventilation, Refrigeration and Sci- entific Management. The above divisions are each in themselves almost too much for a man to master thoroughly, and so in the subject matter which follows some branches of the above divisions are discussed with the view of assisting those contemplating taking up the work in forming some opinion as to which channel shall receive their chief effort. No claim is made for a graduate of the Mechanical Engin- eering Department that he is accomplished in all the above divis- ions. He is only prepared with a foundation upon which to build, and his success will be commensurate with individuality, person- ality and adaptability to his chosen profession. It will, however, be well to add, in fairness to the Department, that practically all our graduates have been successful. If a student's interests lie in power development, he may wish to specialize in Gas Engineering, in Steam Engineering or Hydraulic Engineering. If Gas Engineering is his choice, he may follow work with gas plants or gas engines. In Steam Engineer- ing, the field may be divided into steam production and steam utilization. In Hydraulic Engineering, the mechanical engineer is principally concerned with power development. A FEW OF THE INSTRUMENTS USED IN- STEAM ENGINEERING LABORATORY Oklahoma A. & M. College 13 Designing may be followed with a view of designing machin- ery for power development or power utilization. Frequently the mechanical engineer specializes in the design of structures. Testing work of mechanical engineers includes tests on steam, gas or hydraulic prime movers, also tests of equipment for steam or gas production. Aside from power development, testing may be conducted with machines for power utilization. The possibilities of specialized work of a graduate of this De- partment has been suggested above, and it is only after years of work that he reaches the point of greatest usefulness to the com- munity. However, the fundamental principles underlying the design, construction, operation and testing of steam boilers and engines, turbines, gas, compressed air and refrigeration machin- ery, form a foundation for this future work. The above sub- jects are developed by thorough courses in mechanical drawing, in thermodynamics, in steam and gas engineering, and also courses in applied mechanics and hydraulics. To supplement these courses a student has the broadening influences, due to re- quirements of a certain amount of work in other engineering courses, such as electrical engineering, contracts and specifica- tions, surveying and other subjects.

Little, Associate Professor O. L. Britt, Assistant The field of Eleetrical Engineering is a broad one, offering opportunities in electrical design, manufacture, construction and operation. The growth of the electrical industries has been rapid and the demand for skilled electrical engineers has often ex- ceeded the supply. It has been the experience of this College that its electrical graduates have, practically without exception, good positions awaiting them on graduation. Hydro-electric developments, electric power transmission and electric railways offer, perhaps, the widest field at the present time. Less than 10 percent of the available waterpower of this country has been put into service, and the rapid development of electric railway engineering calls for an army of trained men. In illuminating engineering the development has been very rapid during the past few years, the high efficiency arc lamp and the half-watt tungsten incandescent lamp being prophetic of fur- ther progress along this line. The wireless telegraph has rendered great service, especially at sea, in saving life and property. Marconi has recently stated that before many months have passed regular service by wireless telephone between ocean liners will be in operation. THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH STATION IN THE ELECTRICAL LABORATORY Oklahoma A. & M. College 17 The Electrical Engineering course at the Oklahoma A. and M. College gives the student a thorough working knowledge of the fundamental principles underlying the design and operation of electric machinery. It is expected that after obtaining the proper practical experience the graduate will be able to act successfully as a designer of electrical machinery or manager in any of the electrical industries, or to take charge of construction work. Throughout the course the work is carried on by lectures, recitations and laboratory practice in the management and test- ing of electrical machinery. The lectures and recitations cover explanations of theoretical principles underlying the action of the various machines and apparatus, together with discussions of modern practice in all the important subdivisions of electrical engineering. Laboratory practice consists in performing experi- ments, making measurements and testing machines and appara- tus, similar to the commercial testing carried on by manufactur- ing companies. This work includes electrical measurements ; theory, design and testing of rotary converters and transformers ; storage batteries, arc and incandescent lamp testing; power plant and sub-station design ; long-distance power transmission, and systems of power distribution; electric lighting, electrical wiring; r THE X-RAY IN THE PHYSICS LABORATORY i8 The School of Engineering telegraph and telephone engineering, wireless telegraph engineer- ing, ete. In the new Engineering Building considerable space has been set aside for the electrical testing and experimental laboratories. The main or commercial testing electrical laboratory is lo- cated on the first Moor of the new building. The electrical equip- ment has been selected and arranged in such a manner as to af- ford students the greatest facility for acquiring a thorough knowledge of different types of electrical machinery, their man- agement and methods of testing. Several other rooms are equipped for laboratory work, such as standardizing, storage bat- tery, electric furnace, electro-chemistry and physics laboratory, photometry rooms, etc. The facilities of the laboratories and shops are employed in the Senior -year in the preparation of a graduating thesis, and ori- ginal work is required of each student. For experiments in this connection, instruments of high precision are placed at the dis- posal of Senior students, and the workshops of the College afford opportunity for the construction of special apparatus. An active branch of the American Institute of Electrical En- gineers has been organized at the College, meeting once each week for informal discussion of the proceedings of the Institute. ORIFICE AND WEIR EXPERIMENTS IN HYDRAULIC LABORATORY Oklahoma A. & M. College 19 A GROUP OF CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENTS WITH FIELD EQUIPMENT DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Alfred Boyd, Professor The work usually included under the term civil engineering is so varied that no one can master it completely in the course of a lifetime. Our aim during the College course is to give a thorough grounding in the underlying principles. The civil engineer is ex- pected to be familiar with the location and construction of rail- roads ; the construction and maintenance of city streets and coun- try roads ;. the design of water supply systems and sewage dis- posal plants ; the irrigation and drainage of land ; the designing of bridges in concrete and steel. That phase of civil engineering which affects more people of the State than any other is highway improvement. We are enter- ing upon an era of better roads. Interest in the subject has al- ready been excited, and the civil engineer is expected to take a part in the work of educating the people on the subject of roads as well as in the construction of the roads themselves. If our highway improvement is to result in any permanent good it must be done by men who are trained in that kind of work. The subjects of water supply and sewage disposal are related 20 The School of Engineering o < £ Oklahoma A. & M: College 21 and are of increasing importance every year. Every summer a great many Oklahoma towns are distressed with the question of obtaining an adequate supply of water. Many of the problems involved call for engineering ability of the highest order. Irrigation in Oklahoma has hardly obtained a good start. Probably the most of the development will be on a small scale, but will, nevertheless, present some interesting subjects for study and investigation. The railroads will continue to need men to carry on the work of extension which is sure to come as our resources develop. There will be new bridges to build. Concrete will replace steel in many cases, and modern methods of construction will take the place of older ones which we have outgrown. The Department oi Civil Engineering is especially well sup- plied with the equipment necessary for giving the practical train- ing which young men need before entering the field of actual work. There is an assortment of transits, levels, plane tables and other instruments of modern and approved design. Opportunity is given for practice in all the usual operations of surveying, and a young man after leaving College should be able to handle any ordinary problem that might be presented to him. The laboratories are well equipped with testing machines for the examination of the materials which enter into engineering structures. Scientific studies are made of cement and of the va- rious problems connected with construction in reinforced con- crete. The student thus comes to realize the true meaning of his theoretical training. The College has the best equipment for the CEMENT I5RIOUETTE TESTING 22 The School of Engineering testing of road materials to be found in this part of the country. The facilities in the hydraulic laboratory are better than those offered by many larger institutions. The student is here made familiar with the operation of pumps of different kinds, of the construction of water meters, and of the laws governing the flow of water througl pipes, Humes and over weirs. Actual measure- ment is also made in the field of the discharge of streams. The drawing room devoted to the work in design is ideal in all respects. Few institutions in the country are better supplied. The lighting and equipment leave little to be desired. It is here that the more advanced students work out over the drawing board problems in design similar to those which a structural en- gineer would have to solve. A large printing frame, 3 feet by 5 feet is used to make blueprint copies of all of the drawings. ROAD MATERIAL TESTING MACHINERY Oklahoma A. & M. College 23 DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING Frederic Child Biggin, Professor Oklahoma is rapidly becoming a populous and wealthy State. Old, cheap methods of building, good enough in territorial times, cannot long stand before such conditions. Substantial, modern structures, often of fireproof construction, are springing up in all the large centers. The last two buildings erected by the State for the College are of reinforced concrete and will outlast the genera- tion using them. Without properly trained Architectural Engineers it is impos- sible to build permanent structures. The modern laws of the lar- ger cities rightly require the filing of carefully prepared plans and specifications and their endorsement by some department of the government before a building permit can be issued. After construction begins, constant superintendence of materials and workmanship on the architect's part, and rigid inspection by city officers are also demanded. But it is not enough to erect structures that are lasting. Every building should also be planned for the greatest possible ef- ficiency in use, and where this is not attained constant loss must result to both owner and tenant. Nor is this the last word, for, no matter how staunchly constructed, nor how well planned a ROEB CONCRETE OFFICE BVILD1TNG SCALES -£- INCH TO 11 FOOT THESIS DESIGN FOR ■5-.S -DEGREES MAY £3 I?13 DEPT OF ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING OKLAHOMA- Afir-M- COLLEGE CD 24 The School of Engineering TYPICAL FLOOR PLAN REINFORCED CONCRETE OFFICE BUILDING SHOWN ON PAGE 23 building may be, when it constitutes an eyesore and an architec- tural disgrace, instead of a pride, to the place of its location, the very permanency of it becomes a regret. As a noted Senator said, years ago, of one of the earlier Federal buildings at Wash- ington, "I have but one fault to find with it— the thing is fire- proof". The opening of the business world for architectural engineers is broad. The well balanced architectural firm of today consists riR-ST FLOOR PLAN REINFORCED CONCRETE OFFICE BUILDING SHOWN ON PAGE 23 Oklahoma A. & M. College 25 of three members, an architectural designer, an architectural en- gineer and a business manager. Moreover, the great steel, terra cotta and concrete companies, and the general construction com- panies, are continually on the lookout for capable, trained men, both as draftsmen and superintendents. Good salaries are paid. The Department of Architectural Engineering of the Okla- homa A. and M. College offers a thorough, practical and theo- retical training. Students who come properly prepared and carry on the four years' work with earnestness and diligence, after graduation are ready to attack with confidence the problems of structural designing, superintendence, etc., that come up in the modern office. During the Freshman and Sophomore years a strong founda- tion is supplied in English, mathematics, physics and chemistry, and these are supplemented by practical work in the College Shops. With the Junior year begins the study of building materials and construction, history of architectural styles and the Greek and Roman orders, applied mechanics, graphics and roof trusses. Close attention is paid to the preparation of working drawings. Shades, shadows and perspective, pen and ink rendering, and water color work are also taken up. In the Senior year are covered strength of materials, masonry, reinforced concrete and steel, skeleton, fireproof construction, heating and ventilating, specifications, estimates of cost and su- 26 The School of Engineering FACTORY BVILDING o-r MILL * * CONSTRVCTION * V INTT.TJ TtlLM ijl-»(i) irzzzzrzz: T" I !©! fall 1 !®M~!

For his thesis, each Senior student prepares preliminary sketches and complete working drawings for a steel frame or re- inforced concrete, fireproof office or commercial building, includ- ing all computations for structural work. Examples of such de- signs are shown. All the equipment of the entire School of Engineering of the College is used for instruction in Architectural Engineering. In the Shops students learn the principles of carpentry, the uses of metals and methods of working them. The electrical laboratory affords practical instruction in wiring and lighting of buildings. The civil engineering laboratory is used to illustrate methods of testing the strength of materials, such as cement, stone, brick and steel.
