Engineering, Production Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Building Departments. Bibliographies of reference books were compiled for each subject, and in the case of mechanical engineering a literature guide was prepared. The guide included a flow chart showing the stops to take during a literature search, and this was found to be particularly useful to the students preparing projects. It is hoped that this program will be expanded considerably during the next academic year with the emphasis placed on teaching students to know and use the literature within their own subject fields.
