Summary:
This series provides a longitudinal view of the course curriculum and contains in-depth material from courses in math, physics, statistics, machine design and mechanisms, ordnance and textile engineering, thermodynamics, electronics, computer technology and applications, among others. Course progress reports written by school faculty (1969-1971) document topics covered in the two-year Computer Technology Course (Box 2, Folder 90). Of special interest are laboratory notebooks from the 1880s-1890s (Boxes 12-13, Folders 414-417), student reports (1939-1942) on topics ranging from corrosion problems in the packing industry to dynamic gear loads in railway engineering (Box 5, Folders 245-50), and course-related blueprints and drawings.
