one semester are devoted to a study of internal combustion
engines, including gas, gasoline and Diesel engines.
The various air standard cycles are studied. Ignition,
carburetors and injection mechanisms are discussed. The
design features of the various engine parts are considered.
Attention is paid to the cooling and lubrication systems.

ME 50 Mechanical Laboratory. Prerequisite, ME 34.
A course for senior mechanical engineering students. The
course consists of one hour of lecture and six hours of
work in the experimental laboratory. Studies and tests are
conducted on steam engines, turbines, condensers, boilers,
gasoline and Diesel engines and hydraulic equipment. Air
compressors and refrigeration units are examined and
tested; the flow of fluids is studied; oils and fuels are
tested.
