\ advanced courses offered to the undergraduat e and graduate student, such courses as Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Materials of Construction, which along with the others prove to be interesting and vital courses. "Materials Testing", the only lab course taught by the department, provides an opportunity for students to observe the actual practice of testing concrete, steel, and wood structures for their ability to withstand tensile, compressive, and shearing stresses. Several large testing machines form the integral part of the lab, this also assures very accurate tests. The importance of the Mechanics Department in an engineering education is obvious, for as long as the curricula oi the other departments depend so highly upon it, no one will be::ome an engineer without venturing into the Mechanics Department.
