this year will bo "A Study of Industrial Plants." Each man will bo given
tho problem to design a plant for tho
manufacturing
of some Industrial
product.
This design will lncludo building

equipment, tho design of a power
plant to furnish power for tho machinery and light for tho buildings,
tho design of a heating and ventilating system for tho plant, an estimate
of labor required, and an outline
for a comploto modern working organization.
In this' way more than
twenty industries will bo studied in
dividually, and finally combined in
one large thesis on typical industrial
plants. Tho men will all work together In one drawing room with an
executive staff formed from members
of the class. A time system will be
used to record each man's punctual
ity and time efficiency.
The thesis work will begin about
March 27 and continue until the first

tho whole- class wont Into tho machine
shop and carried on what Is known as
a "time study."
Tho main object of a "tlmo study"
Is to accurately dotormlno what Is
the exact time, that a man should
to making a certain piece. To
do this it is necessary to observe him
during a. complete operation, taking
time with a stop watch of each step
In the manufacture, and in the end
adding up the time of the necessary
motions, calling this the required
time.
The principles involved will be used
to a great extent in the Senior thesis
