Research work in engineering colleges

About fifty American engineering colleges are carrying on organized engineering research. Fifteen of these received during the year 1924–25 more than $500,000 for research through cooperative relations with industry. The total annual expenditure by engineering colleges for research is more than $1,000,000. The cooperative relations between Purdue University and the American Railway Association have resulted in extensive studies for which the association has appropriated more than $500,000 during the last two years.
