1911

Appointed Charles Felton Scott (1864-1944) Professor of Electrical Engineering. Scott was the designer of power transformers and transmission systems for the Niagara Falls installation while he was an assistant to Tesla at the Westinghouse Company.
    He had great concern for his students. In 1916 he received the following from the plant manager of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company.
    “It seems best that the men should start at the bottom and work their way up. As I have previously written the millwork is physically hard and the hours long, eighty-four a week. Hence big strong men would be best suited for these jobs.”
    Scott notes that none of his students that year applied to the Youngstown Company.
The degree in Metallurgical Engineering approved by the Corporation.
Mason Laboratory including its new large experimental bay was occupied by the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
