air conditioning installed on the campus which vary in size from small package units
to those in excess of 350 tons of refrigeration.
 The Mechanical Engineering Department has an extensive staff of skilled tech-
nicians and a special set of shops which are available for building all types of special
research equipment. These shops serve the College of Engineering including the En-
gineering and Industrial Experiment Station and all other units of the University re-
quiring precision work. Also a wide range of specialized research instruments are avail-
able for many types of experimental investigations which are conducted in the graduate
program and the numerous projects of the Engineering and Industrial Experiment
Station.
 MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING

 See the Graduate School section of the Catalog.
 All instructional departments in the College of Engineering offer graduate work
leading to the degree of Master of Science in Engineering. The Departments of Chemi-
cal Engineering and Electrical Engineering offer graduate work leading to the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy.
 There is considerable demand for engineers with graduate degrees, particularly in
research, design and development work, and teaching. The facilities of the College,
including the Florida Engineering and Industrial Experiment Station, are exceptionally
well adapted for graduate study. Any undergraduate student whose scholastic average is
well above average is urged to consider seriously the possibility of doing graduate work.
The Dean and the various members of the staff of the College will be happy to confer
with students in regard to graduate study.
