COURSES OF STUDY.
The following condensed summary gives by title the various
courses of study offered in the Engineering Department, arranged in
an orderly curriculum of four years. Those courses, for which no
special note is given, must be taken by all candidates for degrees.
The special elective courses are in each case followed by a note,
showing the degree for which they are required. The name of the
Arabic numbers are for lectures on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday;
Roman for lectures on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
The courses are so ordered that the specified entrance requirements are
adequate for the work of the First Year. Each succeeding year presupposes
the completion of the work for all the foregoing years. Students
are advised to adhere strictly to the regular programmes. The arrangements
specified in them have been carefully planned and are the best.
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 successful 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.
