University of Virginia Library

DEGREES.

Upon the completion of the four year course as defined in any
one of the following Programmes of Study and the presentation of
an acceptable graduating thesis the Faculty will award to any student
in regular and honorable standing the appropriate Degree of Civil Engineer,
Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Mining Engineer, or
Chemical Engineer. In each programme will be found the Topics of
Study for the several years and the hours of lecture or of laboratory
exercises, where such hours are fixed and non-adjustable. In the more
advanced laboratory, shop, and field courses the hours for the exercises
will be adjusted to the convenience of the students. Arabic numerals
give the hours for Monday, Wednesday and Friday; Roman numerals
give the hours for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
