Therefore specialized studies are planned for graduates; and the opportunities for such work will be unusual and varied. Emphasis on fundamentals should not be mistaken to mean that the undergraduate work will be general courses in science; on the contrary, it will contain more engineering and engineering laboratory work than is customary and will be definite, thorough preparation for the different engineering professions...
