Three quarter hours. Summer. Division Of Mathematics and Physical Sciences Merlon L. Stevenson, Chairman To help preserve and strengthen the democracy in which we live, it is urgent that the scientist, the engineer, and the technician receive a rounded education concerning the environment in which he lives. This requires a liberal amount of general education along with the professional or vocational training. In order to meet these challenges and the needs of students, the Division offers courses and two-year curricula developed to serve the following major groups of students: 1. Those who desire to transfer to a senior institution at the end of two years and who major in mathematics or the following physical sciences: Chemistry, geography, geology, and physics; or in the professional fields of chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, or aeronautical engineering; or in the professional mineral industries programs of mining, metallurgy, geology, mineralogy, meteorology, fuel, and ceramic technology; or in architecture. 2. Non-science majors who desire to round out their education and to meet group requirements with courses in physical science and mathematics. 3. Those who desire to complete their formal education and enter employment in technical and sub-professional fields at the end of two years, and who need special two-year programs and curricula in architectural technology, general engineering technology, and radio technology. A student majoring in the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences is urged to take interest inventory and the special aptitude test that is recommended by the respective departments, and consult with an adviser prior to registration. Recommended tests and inventories: It is recommended that all students of the division take the Kuder Interest Record Inventory and the Ohio State Psychological Examination. Engineering majors are advised to take the pre-engineering battery of tests which is administered on a national basis. Knight
