ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS.

For admission to the Freshman Class in the Department of Engineering
the candidate must be at least sixteen years old. He must present a certificate
of honorable withdrawal from the school last attended, or other valid proof
of general good character. He must further satisfy the Dean of the University
as to his adequate preparation for the work by passing the Entrance
Examinations specified below or by the presentation of equivalent certificates
of preparation signed by the president of a recognized institution of collegiate
rank, or by the principal of an accredited high school. The topics required
for entrance and their values in units are as follows, the unit being one year's
work on the subject in an accredited high school:

                     

English A.—Grammar and Grammatical Analysis	1
English B.—Composition and Rhetoric	1
English C.—Critical Study of Specimens of Literature	1
Mathematics A1.—Algebra to Quadratics	1
Mathematics A2.—Quadratics, Progressions, Binomial Formula	1
Mathematics B.—Plane Geometry	1
Mathematics C.—Solid Geometry	½
Mathematics D.—Plane Trigonometry	½
History.—Ancient; Mediæval; English; American (any one)	1
Electives	7
Total	15

High school students who expect to study Engineering are advised to
include among their electives one Modern Language, Chemistry or Physics,
and Mechanical Drawing, and Shop-work. Other electives which may be
profitably offered are History of English and American Literature, History,
Latin, Greek, Botany, Zoölogy, Physical Geography.

A candidate may be admitted as a Conditioned Student in spite of some
deficiencies, provided these are not such as will impair the integrity of his

work. But no such candidate will be conditioned except upon subjects
actually taught in this university, nor will any candidate be conditioned on
more than two units; and all conditions must be absolved before the beginning
of the next session after initial registration. Courses taken for the
removal of entrance conditions may in no case be counted as part of the
work credited for any degree. No conditions will be allowed in English A
or B or in Mathematics A1, A2, or B.

A candidate may be admitted as a Special Student without formal examination,
provided he is more than twenty years old if a Virginian and not
less than twenty-three years old if a non-Virginian, and gives evidence of
serious purpose and of fitness to pursue with profit the courses for which he
is registered. No special student may be a candidate for any degree. No
conditioned student may register later as a special student.

ADMISSION OF WOMEN.

Women may be admitted only as regular students in the Department of
Engineering provided they have completed at least two years of standard
college work before entrance, and are at least twenty years old.

ADVANCED STANDING.

Under the elective system of the University of Virginia, a student who
has completed courses of college or university grade in other institutions of
learning on mathematical or scientific subjects may be excused from attendance
upon these courses by the Dean, with the advice and consent of
the professors in charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced
work.

In order to secure College Credit upon such courses toward a degree in
Engineering from this University, the applicant must show—

1. That the courses offered are coextensive with the corresponding
courses as given in the University of Virginia.

2. That his grades on them were not below the seventy-five per cent.
pass-mark of this University.

Such credits may be granted by the faculty upon the recommendation
of the Dean and the professors in charge; but are automatically revoked by
the failure of the student to pass in the more advanced courses in the related
topics.

The same rules apply to Credits on Summer School Courses; except
that for courses in the Summer School of this University the examination
questions must be prepared by the professor in charge of the regular course,
and the answers must be read and graded by him.

Students, suspended from other universities, are not granted college credit
on courses previously passed, except upon the explicit recommendation of
the suspending university, and after such additional tests as this Engineering
Faculty may impose.

Credits on Practice-Courses in Drawing, Shop-work, or Field-work may

be granted to applicants who have gained in professional practice the training
which these courses represent. Such applicants must file with the Dean
proper certificates from the official under whom the work was done and
must in every case pass an additional practical test on the subjects for which
credit is desired. College credit is not granted for high-school work.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY.

The candidate who has satisfied the requirements for entrance as above
defined is matriculated as a student of Engineering and admitted to the Freshman
Class. The studies of this class comprise lecture courses in English,
Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Chemistry with associated laboratory
courses in Chemistry, Drawing, Shop-work and Field-work.

For advancement to the Sophomore Class the student must have completed
at least two-thirds of his Freshman work. Upon entering this class
he elects his specialty. The courses thereafter diverge according as the student
is an applicant for a degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or
Mining Engineering. Programs of study for each degree are given below.

The courses are so ordered that the specified entrance requirements are
adequate for the work of the Freshman Year. Each succeeding year presupposes
the completion of the work for all the foregoing years. Students
are advised to adhere strictly to the regular programs. The arrangements specified
in them have been carefully planned and are the best. Departures from
the curriculum will in almost every case produce conflicts in lecture hours or
laboratory periods and may cost the student a year's time. Haphazard election
is discouraged and in extreme cases will be prohibited. No student will
be registered for a course unless, in the opinion both of the Dean and of the
professor, his preliminary training has fitted him for the profitable pursuit
of that course.

Students are especially advised against the attempt to crowd too many
studies into their scheme of work, and are warned that admission to advanced
courses will be granted only to those who have adequate mathematical and
scientific training to profit by them. Men overloaded with work, too great
in volume or in difficulty for their powers, suffer inevitable discouragement
and incur almost certain failure.

Changes of classes with transfer of fees may be made, subject to the approval
of the Dean, within two weeks after the beginning of any term. Thereafter
such changes may be made only by special order of the faculty, and
then without transfer of fees.

Upon the completion of the four years' course as defined in any one of
the Programs of Study, the faculty will award to any student in regular and
honorable standing the appropriate degree of Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer,
Electrical Engineer, Chemical Engineer, or Mining Engineer.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF FIVE-YEAR CURRICULUM.

In view of the impressive and growing demand from practicing engineers
and industrial leaders that Schools of Engineering should enlarge the field of

study to embrace more of the humanities and better opportunities for student
research, to the end that graduates may be better fitted to undertake their
duties as engineers and citizens, announcement is here made that the engineering
curriculum of the University of Virginia is to be enlarged from four to
five years.

In the new curriculum courses will be offered in modern languages, history,
government, sociology, philosophy and like studies, and graduate courses
will be developed in the main divisions of engineering instruction.

Under the new curriculum the B.S. degree will be awarded at the end of
four years upon satisfactory completion of the work and the specialized degrees
(C.E., Ch.E., E.E., E.M., and M.E.) at the end of the graduate year.

The entering class of 1923-24 and subsequent classes will be matriculated
under the new program, while students registered before the session of 1923
or with corresponding advanced standing will be permitted to graduate under
the present curriculum, but not later than June, 1926.

The full revised curriculum will be published later but the Freshman
courses will be the same as under the present system.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The Subjects of Instruction in Engineering are grouped into classes, each
designated by a distinctive number for each term, the lecture and laboratory
courses being likewise differentiated. This grouping follows the arrangement
shown below:

                   

Business Administration	1 to 99
Mathematics	100 to 199
Physics	200 to 299
Chemistry	300 to 399
Geology and Mining	400 to 499
Applied Mathematics	500 to 599
Experimental Engineering	600 to 699
Civil Engineering including Field-work	700 to 799
Mechanical Engineering including Shop-work	800 to 899
Electrical Engineering	900 to 999

Lecture courses are listed in the first fifty numbers of all classes; laboratory
or practice courses are listed in the second fifty numbers of all classes.
The same numbers are used in schedules of lecture hours, laboratory periods
and examination days.

The last pages of this announcement are devoted to a description of the
courses in Art and Architecture now offered. There will be found the requirements
for admission, the statement of requirements for a degree in
Architecture and description of equipment available for instruction in the
McIntire School of Fine Arts.

STUDENT BRANCHES OF NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL
SOCIETIES.

There have been established at the University of Virginia Student
Branches of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (1912), the
American Society of Civil Engineers (1921) and the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (1922). These societies hold regular meetings for the
discussion of periodical literature and the exposition by resident and visiting
engineers of the present-day problems in Engineering. A valuable feature of
the meetings is the opportunity presented for practice in public speaking and
debate. At stated meetings the Branches hold joint sessions for the discussion
of mutually interesting questions.

TAU BETA PI.

In May, 1921, a chapter of the National Honorary Engineering Fraternity
of Tau Beta Pi was granted and the Alpha of Virginia Chapter of Tau Beta
Pi will henceforth serve to further inspire high scholarship and integrity.
This fraternity is recognized as the leading honorary engineering fraternity
of this country and its chapters have been installed in some forty engineering
schools of the highest standing. The members are selected with care and the
standards maintained are rigid both in respect to scholarship and character.

ENGINEERING JOURNAL.

During the session of 1920-21 the University of Virginia Journal of
Engineering was first issued. The Journal is published by the Students of
Applied Science and is issued ten times yearly. Contributions are made by
students, instructors and alumni and the Journal gives to the students especially
an opportunity to take part in an activity of interest and value while
providing a medium in which may be published results of individual experience
and research.

ENGINEERING STUDENTS' READING CLUB.

A gift to the Department of Engineering from Messrs. Arthur P. Jones,
William Barham Jones (B.A. 1907) and Major Kenneth S. Jones (B.A.,
LL.B., C.E. 1915, Major U. S. A., Engineer Corps) in memory of their
father, the late Walter H. Jones of Norfolk, Va., and of his deep interest in
the University of Virginia, in the form of an endowment fund has made it
possible to provide a considerable number of professional periodicals representing
the various engineering activities. To promote the regular use of
these periodicals an Engineering Students' Reading Club has been formed
to which all engineering students are eligible and this club is expected to
foster proper use of the periodicals to the end that the maximum of value
will be obtained by the students from their reading.

	Examination Day IV	Examination Day VI

The examination days for the various classes are fixed by the hour of
regular lecture period. The examination day for a particular course is indicated
in the table above by the Roman numeral in the space denoting hour of
lecture. The examination period covers ten days at the end of each term.

A change in lecture period for any course will change the examination day
correspondingly. Classes for which lecture periods are not indicated will have
examination days fixed by the arranged lecture hour in accordance with above
schedule.

EXPENSES OF REGULAR STUDENTS.

The average annual expense of a student who pursues the regular course
in Engineering will be:

               

	NonVirginians	Virginians
University Fee	$ 40	$ 20
Tuition	160	85
Laboratory Fees (average)	35	35
Living Expenses (for nine months)	400	400
Books and Drawing Materials	30	30
Incidental Expenses (for nine months)	60	60
Total annual for average conditions	$725	$630

The charges for Tuition are uniform to all students, except that Virginians
are relieved of tuition on courses offered in the College, this exception
saving regular Freshmen from Virginia $100 and all other Virginia
students $65 each year in comparison with non-Virginians.

The laboratory charges are $15 per class for the year's course in Physics,
and $20 per class for a year's course in Chemistry. A deposit for breakage
of $5 is required for each laboratory course in Chemistry. The fee for each
practice course in the Engineering Department, Drawing, Engineering
Laboratories, and Shop-work is $5 per term for each course. The fees for
Field-work and Bridge Drafting are each $10 per term per course. These
fees include all charges for laboratory materials; but the student is held
further responsible for breakage.

The living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights, servant and
laundry; the average is $10.00 per week, the minimum $7.50, and a reasonable
maximum $12.50. Books and Drawing Materials will cost about $120
for the four-year course. Incidental Expenses ought to be kept within modest
bounds; the above estimate is sufficient; large allowances of pocket
money promote idleness and attract companions of the baser sort. No
allowances are included for clothing and travel, the expenses for which vary
too much to be introduced into any general estimate.

The charges payable on entrance are the University Fee, and the Tuition
and Laboratory Fees.

EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS.

Oral examinations are held at the beginning of each lecture hour on the
topics of the preceding lecture. Written test papers are set monthly, or at
such interval as the professor may appoint. Absences from lecture except
by reason of sickness are not excused without a written leave from the
Dean. Class standing is determined on the basis of the oral examinations
and the written tests. Absence from the latter or failure to answer incurs
a zero grade. Absences from laboratory periods, however caused, must be
made up by special private arrangement with the instructor.

Written examinations are held at the end of each term on the entire
work of that term. The result of examination combined with the student's
class-standing gives his term-grade. The pass-mark is seventy-five per
cent. Absence from the written term examination incurs a zero term-grade,
which may not be removed except by the passage of a special written examination
on the work of that term. Such special examinations are granted
only upon presentation of a written certificate from a reputable physician
that the student by reason of sickness on the day of the regular examination
was unable to attend.

Regular Reports are sent out at the end of every term to the student's
parents or guardian. These state for each course followed the term-grade
and the number of absences. Further comment may be added by the Dean
or the professor, if it appears probable that such comment would be helpful
to the student. Parents are urged to examine these reports carefully
and to exert such parental influence as may seem needed to establish and
confirm the student in habits of industry and order.

Special Reports are sent to parents at the end of each month for students
delinquent in attendance or studiousness and for delinquents only.
When a student is making steady progress and showing due diligence in his
work, only the regular reports are sent. The receipt of a special report is
evidence that, in the judgment of the faculty, prompt and pointed parental
admonition is urgently needed.

If in any class in the Department of Engineering a student fails to
make satisfactory progress, he is first admonished by the professor in charge.
In default of prompt and permanent improvement, he is next formally
warned by the Dean. If due amendment is then not immediately effected,
the student's name is dropped from the rolls of the Department, on the
ground that he is not accomplishing the purposes for which he should have
entered upon a University course of study.

REGULATIONS.

The following regulations, adopted to define the policy of the faculty,
are published for the information and guidance of the students:

1. Practice-courses as well as lecture-courses must be conducted under
the Honor System. The student who submits any work to be graded is
considered to submit it under pledge.

2. When the lecture-course and the associated practice-course are given
in the same term of the same year, no student will be admitted to examination
on the lecture-course until he has completed at least three-fourths of the
practice-course.

3. No student will be admitted to any practice-course unless he is at
the same time pursuing the associated lecture-course, or has already received
credit for the same.

4. No student will be admitted to the graduating examination on a
lecture-course unless he has been present at more than half the lectures in
that course.

5. In the technical courses in Engineering (i. e., courses not given in the
College) term-grades shall not be averaged; except that the term-grades for
Freshman Applied Mathematics may be averaged for the first-year men only,
provided no mark is below 65.

6. The pass-mark in every course is 75. Class standing is estimated at
20 points; the written examination at 80 points.

7. No student who fails to make 75 on term-grade shall be granted
another examination on the course until he has again attended lectures on
that course.

8. Special examinations are not given except by reason of sickness on
the day of examination, attested by the written certificate of a reputable
physician, or for other like providential causes. In every case they must
be validated by special vote of the faculty.

9. A student whose term-grades average less than 40 for all the courses
in which he is registered shall be at once dropped from the rolls. If his
average is above 40 with no mark above 65, he is placed on probation.

10. A student on probation may engage in no collegiate activities, athletic
or musical. If in the next term he makes less than 65 on each and all
his courses, he shall be at once dropped from the rolls.

DRAFTING ROOMS.

The drafting rooms are abundantly lighted and are provided with solidly
constructed tables with locked drawers for instruments and materials. Each
student is assigned to a table and has a drawer for his exclusive use. The
regular Drawing Classes execute each one plate a week under the supervision
of the Instructors in Drawing. The more advanced students have such
additional drawings assigned by their respective professors as are needed
for the full development of the courses of study.

Careful attention is given to the training of the students in free-hand
lettering, in the conventional signs of mechanical drawing, in the proper
lay-out of drawings, and in neat and accurate execution. Exercises are required
also in tracing and in blue-printing, the rooms for which are conveniently
arranged and in close contiguity to the drafting rooms. While,
however, technical dexterity is demanded, the graphical method is taught
and used primarily as an indispensable instrument of research, the thoughtful
mastery of which is essential for the instructed Engineer.

The construction and theory of the Polar Planimeter, the Slide Rule,
and the Pantograph are carefully taught, and the student is trained in the
practical use of these appliances for the rapid and accurate production of
estimates and copies from finished drawings.

SHOPS.

The machine shop is provided with six first-class engine lathes, illustrating
the practice of the best American makers; with a planer, a shaper,
two drill presses, a universal milling machine (Brown & Sharpe), and a universal

For hydraulic surveys a hook gauge and a current meter are provided. All
students are instructed in the theory and adjustments of the field instruments

and in their practical use in the field. They are also required to
make up their field-books in standard forms; to reduce their surveys and
execute all the necessary profiles, plans, and maps; and to determine lengths,
areas, and volumes both from the maps and from the original notes. Polar
planimeters are provided for facilitating such estimates, and a pantograph
for making reduced copies of finished drawings.

In recognition of the growing interest in Good Roads in Virginia and
the immense social and economic importance of the construction of such
roads in all parts of the commonwealth, the Faculty of the Department of
Engineering has rearranged the courses of instruction in this topic and
brought them together into the Spring Term, so as to form a special course
in highway engineering for the benefit of young men from Virginia who
wish to go into public highway work. To such Virginians, if adequately
prepared and recommended, free scholarships will be given. Application
should be made to the Dean, accompanied by recommendations from the
State Highway Commissioner or from the Board of Supervisors of the applicant's
county.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY.

The Scott Laboratory of Electrical Engineering.—This laboratory was
initially equipped and endowed by Mrs. Frances Branch Scott, of Richmond,
Va., as a memorial to her late son, an alumnus of this University.
During the year 1910 the equipment was substantially increased through
the generosity of the Hon. Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, Ill., a friend of
the University. During 1912 still further substantial additions were made,
consisting of measuring instruments, auxiliary control apparatus, and more
particularly a steam-turbine-driven three-phase alternating-current generator
with exciter and control switchboard.

In addition to full sets of electric meters with the appliances for testing
and calibrating them, galvanometers of the best modern types, standard
cells and resistances, standard condensers, and other pieces of apparatus
for minor tests, this laboratory contains numerous pieces of the very best
construction. Such are the Wolff potentiometer, the Seimens and Halske
Thomson double bridge, the Koepsel permeameter, the Station photometer
with Lummer-Brodhun screen, the Carey-Foster bridge and others. For
the work in machine-testing there are a number of direct-current generators
and motors, series, shunt and compound, interpole motors, a double current
generator, a two-phase alternator, a General Electric experimental test set
for alternating current, comprising a generator furnishing single, two, three,
six or twelve-phase current, and, in addition, offering three types of induction
motors with all necessary starting and controlling devices, a single-phase
repulsion motor, a two-phase induction motor, two three-phase induction
motors, several pairs of constant voltage transformers, a constant current
transformer, frequency meters, power factor indicator, synchronism indicator,
ground detector and the auxiliary apparatus used in testing these machines.
The laboratory has been arranged with a system of universal plug and

receptacle-connections to facilitate the setting up of all experimental combinations.

Additional equipment is now being installed which comprises a complete
three-element oscillograph set with necessary accessories, two direct
current motor generator sets with automatic push-button start and stop
control complete, and an experimental alternator test generator with complete
modern switchboard panel for its control as well as a motor to drive
it equipped with push-button start, reverse and stop control.

BUILDINGS.

The buildings devoted wholly or in part to the work of the Department
of Engineering are the following:

The Mechanical Laboratory is the main seat of the instruction in technical
studies. It is 180 by 70 feet and contains on the main floor the Dean's
office and the offices of three other professors; and three lecture-rooms.

Above are an office, a small drafting room for advanced students, and
blue-print and photographic rooms. Below on the ground floor are an office
and classroom, the electrical laboratories, the testing laboratories, apparatus
and storerooms, and the students' lavatory. In order to more adequately
care for increased numbers this building has undergone a considerable
rearrangement during the past few years. Wood and machine shop equipment
has been entirely removed from the building, as well as the facilities for
Freshman and Sophomore Drawing. This change made available much
needed classroom space and allowed the electrical laboratories to be expanded.
Incident to the changes new cement floors were constructed for
the Road Materials Testing Laboratory, the main testing Laboratory and
the main hall. A new high-pressure steam line from the Power House was
also installed.

The Shops are now temporarily housed in the Garage erected for the
Motor Truck Training Detachment during the World War. This building
gives a floor space of some 5,000 square feet and has allowed the rearrangement
of wood and machine shop equipment for group drive by four electric
motors. Space is also available in this structure for use in connection with
the course in automobile construction and testing.

The Drawing Room is temporarily housed near Peabody Hall in one of
the Barracks taken from the Training Camp site and rebuilt and fitted for
drawing. The building accommodates about 180 men, each man having his
individual drawing desk.

The Power House is a single-story building 110 by 40 feet. In addition
to the University boiler plant and the electric lighting plant, this contains
the foundry and the forge-room. The Boiler plant consists of two horizontal
return-tubular boilers, each of 140 horse-power. The lighting plant
consists of three electric generators directly connected to high-speed engines,

the respective capacities being 25, 50, and 75 kilowatts. The whole
plant is available for purposes of instruction, study and experiment.

In addition to the University plants there are available by courtesy of the
owners for purposes of inspection, study and tests such plants as the turbine
station and railway and power substation of the Charlottesville and Albemarle
Railway Company, the water turbines and oil engine plant of the
Charlottesville Woolen Mills, and plants of the local ice companies and
cold storage.

The Geological Museum is 120 by 50 feet. It is a three-story building.
The main floor is devoted to the very extensive geological collection of
specimens, charts, relief maps, and so on. The gallery above contains an
equally good collection of minerals and numerous models of typical crystallographic
forms. The upper floor contains the lecture-rooms and the laboratories
of Economic Geology. In the basement are stored subsidiary collections
and new material accumulated in more recent geological surveys.

The Physical Laboratory faces the Mechanical Laboratory on the opposite
side of the quadrangle, and has almost the same proportions. The
main floor contains the lecture-room, the professors' offices, the laboratory
of experimental physics, and the storeroom for the very large collection of
apparatus used in the lectures. On the ground floor is the laboratory of
theoretical electricity, the storage battery room, a well-equipped shop for
the repair and manufacture of apparatus, and smaller rooms for the work
of graduate students. Considerable special equipment is available for the
study of problems in thermodynamics.

The new Chemical Laboratory was opened for use in September, 1917.
In this fire-proof structure all the work in Chemistry is assembled. The
floor area provided is about 30,000 square feet. The lecture-rooms seat
classes of 300, 75 and 25 students. The laboratories assigned to General
Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Qualitative Analysis, Quantitative Analysis,
and Physical Chemistry contain 110, 60, 40, 30, and 20 desks. Altogether
by dividing classes into sections, 600 students may be accommodated. Smaller
private laboratories are provided for research workers. Large stock rooms
communicating by elevators with the several floors contain ample stores of
chemical supplies. The 5,000 volumes of books and bound sets of journals
constituting the Departmental Library of Chemistry are so housed as to be
accessible to both teachers and students.

INSTRUCTION IN ARCHITECTURE.

Instruction leading to the professional degree of Bachelor of Science in
Architecture is offered in the University by the McIntire School of Fine
Arts in collaboration with the Department of Engineering and with the
other academic schools. This work is under the administrative jurisdiction
of the College, and the rules of the College regarding entrance requirements,
fees, choice of courses, and requirements for degrees are those which apply
in it. For the courses offered, equipment, etc., see the announcement of
courses in the Academic Schools.
