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 at least one Foreign Language (Latin or
French or German), one Science (Chemistry or Physics with adequate
laboratory work) and an additional unit of History. Other electives which
may be profitably offered are History of English and American Literature,
Greek, Botany, Zoölogy, Physical Geography.

A candidate may be admitted as a Conditioned Student in spite of some
deficiencies in required entrance subjects, provided these are not such as
will impair the integrity of his work, but be must submit not less than 15
units. 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.

As the table of Entrance requirements shows, the full High School
course in Mathematics is required for entrance to the Department of Engineering,
but unfortunately the graduates of the High Schools are often
deficient in Solid Geometry and Plane Trigonometry and can be admitted
only upon conditions in those subjects. High School principals are advised
to urge their graduates, with this status, to attend a Summer Session
at the University before entering the Department of Engineering so that
these deficiencies may be overcome. If the prospective student finds it
impossible to attend a Summer School previous to his regular matriculation
a course has been planned which will allow him to make up his deficiencies
by taking work in the Summer School following his first year in Engineering.
This course provides for Trigonometry, Solid Geometry and College
Algebra in the three terms of the regular session, with the other work as
outlined for the regular student, and in addition, in the two terms of the
Summer School, Analytical and Coordinate Geometry are taken. Such a
program will prepare the student for entrance with Sophomore standing
and will save him from the failure usually encountered by students who attempt
to make up the deficient work in regular session in addition to the
full course of required subjects.

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 are admitted as candidates for the Engineering Degrees but
not as Special Students. A candidate must be at least twenty years old

on the birthday preceding matriculation; must present certificates showing
graduation from an accredited public high-school, or not less than four
years' attendance in an accredited private school, with credit for not less
than fifteen college entrance units obtained at least two years before admission
to the University; and must in addition show by proper certificate
the completion in a standard college, subsequent to the credit obtained for
fifteen entrance-units, of at least thirty session-hours, (sixty semester-hours),
of courses of college grade, in not less than eighteen calendar
months.

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 professor in charge, and will then be registered for the more advanced
work, provided the full entrance requirements have been satisfied.

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.

Advanced standing in the technical engineering subjects of higher
grade than those of the Sophomore year will not be given except to graduates
of other institutions offering technical engineering instruction and
then only upon special consideration of each application for such advanced
standing. No degree in Engineering will be awarded for less than one
full year's work in a regular session of this University and the work of a
candidate's last year must be performed in residence here.

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
the student majoring in Chemical Engineering begins his specialized work,
while all others pursue identical courses of study through the year. On entering
the Junior year each student elects his specialty. The courses thereafter
diverge according to the major subject chosen by the student. 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 pre-supposes
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 degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Upon
the completion of the additional Graduate Course in a satisfactory manner
the faculty will award the appropriate degree of Civil Engineer, Mechanical
Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Chemical Engineer, or Mining Engineer.

The new five-year curriculum has been adopted at the University of

Virginia 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.

The entering classes, beginning with 1923-24, will be matriculated under
the new program as presented in this volume of the University of Virginia
Record, while students registered before the session of 1923 or with corresponding
advanced standing will be permitted to graduate under the former
four-year curriculum, but not later than June, 1926. Complete programs of
the former four-year degree courses may be found in Volume IX of the
University of Virginia Record for those who are yet to graduate under the
older curriculum. The present volume presents in detail only the new five-year
curriculum.

Advanced Courses: A number of advanced courses in Chemistry, not
listed above, are given and complete details are shown in the catalogue of the
College. When time permits, students in Chemical Engineering, who are
properly prepared, may take such of these courses as are approved by the Faculty
of Engineering. Seminars will be offered in the different branches of Chemistry
to students applying for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The courses will
be offered only as occasion demands, and the subjects treated will vary. These
courses will be designated as "D" courses, but owing to the flexibility which it
is desired to secure in the subject matter, no definite statement of them will be
made except that special phases of Physical, Inorganic, and Analytical chemistry
will be treated, including such subjects as radio-chemistry, the chemistry
of the rare elements, colloid and surface chemistry, etc. Research work looking
toward a thesis will accompany these courses.

The Chemical Journal Club will meet once a week (hour to be arranged)
for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest in current
chemical literature and of such chemical researches as are in progress in the
University. All members of the teaching staff and advanced students in chemistry
are expected to participate in these meetings and to take part in the discussions.

Fellowships: The University announces the establishment of five Teaching
Fellowships in Chemistry, each with an honorarium of $500. These fellowships
present the opportunity for graduate study and research in Chemistry, accompanied
by a limited amount of instructional work. Holders of the fellowships
will be expected to devote not more than fifteen hours a week to instruction,
leaving ample time for research and work toward the graduate degree. The fellowships
are open to men who have received a bachelor's degree from a college
or university of recognized standing, and who have received thorough undergraduate
training in chemistry and physics.

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 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 are found in a limited number of engineering schools of the
highest standing. The members are elected with care and the standards maintained
are rigid both in respect to scholarship and character.

THETA TAU.

In June, 1923, a chapter of the National Honorary Engineering Fraternity
of Theta Tau was granted at the University of Virginia. This fraternity
has chapters in a score or more of the leading engineering schools of
the country and membership is eagerly sought and greatly appreciated by the
members of the student body. Elections are made each year based on scholarship
and general record of ability and promise of future service to the profession
of engineering.

ENGINEERING JOURNAL.

During the session of 1920-1921 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.
