 In order to assist students who may wish to attend the University throughout the
year, the College of Engineering will offer a limited number of courses in each curricula
during the Summer Session of the University. Details will be found in the Catalog of
the Summer Session, obtainable from the Office of the Registrar.

 FLORIDA ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT STATION

 The Florida Engineering and Industrial Experiment Station is an integral part of
the College of Engineering. It is the research division of the College and the develop-
ment laboratory for Florida's industries. Its function is to initiate and carry on projects
in the several fields of engineering and in industrial development. It is particularly in-
terested in developing new products from Florida raw materials and in assisting in the
establishment of new industries in the State.
 Undergraduates in the College of Engineering who show promise as research
workers may be employed to assist in research work in the Station and to prepare them-
selves for graduate study.
 All students in the College will profit from their association with the engineers en-
gaged in research projects and from the opportunity of seeing the principles of engineer-
ing being applied to the solution of fundamental and applied problems.
 Graduate students may select fundamental problems involved in research projects
of the Station for the subject matter of theses that are required of all graduate students
majoring in engineering.
 All facilities of the College are available for instructional purposes and for use in
research projects.
 FLORIDA INDUSTRIES' COOPERATIVE PLAN

 Several of Florida's industries, under a cooperative arrangement, will employ Florida
men in industry at prearranged regular intervals during the student's course at the Uni-
versity. Students are eligible for this cooperative employment if they are candidates for
an engineering degree and have shown that they are satisfactorily prepared scholastically.
 Students with Sophomore standing who intend entering the College of Engineering
or engineering students in their Junior year may file application for the Cooperative
Plan with the Dean of the College of Engineering at any time. Placement will depend
upon openings available, the industrial selection of the applicant and his personality.
Arrangements will be made for personal interviews with representatives of the cooperat-
ing industries. Applications may also be accepted from men already in industry who
wish to complete their Engineering College courses and need credit of one year or more
of college work to earn a degree.
 After assignment to an industry, a student alternates with a partner each college
session: Fall Semester, Spring Semester and Summer Session. The alternating periods
in industry and school are approximately February 1 to June 15, June 16 to September
15, and September 16 to February 1. In this manner one member of a team is always
on the assigned cooperative job while the other is in school.
 The student is paid a salary by the cooperating industry while at work. This salary
should cover the necessary living expenses and permit him to save toward his next
school term's expenses.
