Special consideration is given to technological unemployment and the other social problems connected with the development of labor-saving machinery. DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING Professor J. A. Brooks Assoc. Prof. R. Widdop Asst. Prof. C. J. Kiernan Asst. Prof. G. D. Wilkinson Mr. P. L. Cambreling Mr. J. C. Hoffman Mr. O. J. Sizelove Mr. R. I. Vail Mr. J. W. Willard An important function of this department is to test, orient, and guide the student. Starting in the freshman year the student is advised, by means of psychological tests, as to his fitness for engineering. Later, the Staff Control course offers an opportunity to guide the student in the field of human relationships. Guidance in this field is as important as it is in engineering study. Many engineering graduates are entering the fields of manufacturing, selling, and administration. These men should have not only a knowledge of the fundamentals of engineering, but also a knowledge of economic theory, business functions, and human relationships. It is also believed that a knowledge of these subjects will be beneficial to those men who remain in the engineering field. Therefore, in addition to the training in the fundamental principles of engineering, every student in the Newark College of Engineering is required to take all of the courses listed in the Department of Industrial Engineering. This department serves as a link between industry and the college. It is responsible for the direction and administration of student work in industrial plants and organizations. Beginning in the freshman year, students are interviewed several times to determine their fitness and their preferences regarding placement in industrial plants. Records of these interviews are used in placing students in industrial work and in summer work. The department arranges for the placement of students in industry and for the details of working plans or programs for each student. After the student is placed, contact with the employer is maintained by frequent visits to the plant. The progress of each student is carefully supervised, and, in cooperation with a representative of the firms, records are kept showing the progress of each student throughout the period of his employment. Students must receive a satisfactory mark in their industrial work before they are eligible for graduation. The department seeks to give the student effective individual _guidance_, a gradual, consistent _orientation_ to his professional life, and a keen awareness of human relation values of his obligations as a citizen and a member of society.
