THE
VARIOUS ENGINEERING
COURSES AT NEBRASKA
Electrical Engineer Receives Broad
Training Prepares Studentt For
Future Work
The Electrical Engineering Course
at the University of Nebraska, under
takes to give to the student the broad
training in this line which is necessary
for a continued growth after leaving
school. As a consequence, the curri
culum includes very substantial work
in mathematics, physics, chemistry
and applied mechanics, and these sub
jects are effectively associated with
ntpam engineering, hydraulics, etc., in
class recitations and in laboratory
practice. Into this is built the struc
ture of the specific requirements oi
those who expect to follow electrical
engineering as a life work. This en
compasses both theory and practice
in direct-current and alternaung-cur-rent
circuits and apparatus. Electrical
laboratory work is required thru three
and one-half semesters.
The changes which lately have been
made in the course of 6tudy and the
additions made to laboratory equip
ment have had in mind provision for
more extended work in these funda
mentals, fewer requirements but great
er freedom in the choice of technical
electives and the possible election of
courses in economics, business, etc.
This 1s the outcome of the recogni
tion of the fact that the field open to
well prepared electrical engineering
students is widening rapidly. Manu
facturing, design, operation, research
and invention are not the elementary
things of a few years ago. They have
become complex and abstruse and re
quire as well as repay much effort and
study.
For example the importance of the
questions which are arising in the field
of public utilities is ever-iLcreasing.
Moreover, this type of service is pe
culiarly the province of the trained
electrical engineer. The telephone,
the telegraph, public and private light
ing, local railway service, power distri
bution, all call for expert knowledge
and are crowding all competitors out
of the field. The problems of their or
ganization, extension and administra
tion are questions of public policy.
They must be settled in fairness to
corporation and to public. Their solu
tion must be brought about by experts
with engineering training and an inti
mate knowledge of economic princi-
,
There never has opened a greater i
field for the engineer than that of the
public service of tomorrow. It utilizes
t.vrv minute of his previous experi
ence, every phase of his training, J
every iota of his knowledge; it de-j
mands the most discriminating Judg-i
ment, every ounce of his enthusiasm. ;
every inch of breadth, the highest de-j
gTee of tact and every joule of bis j
energy. ;

AGRICULTURAL COURSE
MADE GREAT PROGRESS
Has Proven That There is a Demand
For Such Work Three Great
Fields For Graduates
In all educational institutions,-there
is the danger of imaginative profeor
putting In courses which have only a
temporary value. Such professors
must always be watched with more or
less care for fear that they will load np
their "departments with unnecessary
and unimportant work.
A few years ago, when, departments
of agricultural engineering were be
coming organized, this work was
looked upon with the same suspicion
that the work of such imaginative pro
fessors la watched, as is mentioned
above.
Agricultural engineering has passed
through this stage and naa proven
that there is a demand for such work.
It is true that the whole field of agri
cultural engineering, ezceptiir that
t a T Y NEBBASKAN
of rural architecture and farm machln
ery might be covered in other en
gineering groups; that Is, farm motors
might be handled in a mechanical en
gineering group; irrigation, drainage
and highways, in a civil engineering
group; and the other lines could like
wise be distributed. However, this is
not a practical method of handling
the work, for where is the farmer or
the community of farmers who have a
small lighting proposition, a small
architectural proposition, a smau
power proposition, a small drainage
proposition or a small heating propo
sition that would care to send into the
city for a consulting engineer to con
sider each one of the above proposi
tions Independently when he could
send to the city for an agricultural
engineer who would come out and
handle all of them for him collectively?
As another verification of the fact
that the field for the agricultural en
gineer is permanent, consider the four
institutions in the United States which
are now ofTering degrees in this work
and the twenty or-twenty-five institu
tions or more which are teaching
farm mechanics under that head or
under the head of agricultural en
gineering. There are three great fields for agri
cultural engineers which do not over
lap in the least upon the fields of
other engineering professions the
teaching field, which at present de
mands the greatest number of the
graduates in this line of work, the
county or community engineer; and
the rural community commercial en
gineer. The county or community en
gineer would fill the position of county
highway engineer, county surveyor
and could carry a side line of consult
ing work for the rural community. The
rural, commercial engineer would
carry a line of equipment such as farm
machinery, farm motors, heating sys
tems, water system supplies, and
so on, and at the same time he could
do advisory work relative to engineer
ing problems as applied to rural com
munities and villages. The last field,
no doubt, would be one of the roost
Independent and yet be a good oppor
tunity for any one to enter who is
commercially inclined. It will not be
many years until every county seat
will have such a commercial company
which will be handled by technical
graduates, or by men who are now in
the commercial field and have the
