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
Department of Engineering 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 an official of a recognized
institution of collegiate rank, or by the principal of an accredited public
high school or of an accredited private secondary school. An applicant for
admission from outside of Virginia may be required to supplement his application
by an interview with a representative of the University. 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; Medieval; 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 he 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
2 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 Coördinate Geometry are taken. Such a program will prepare the student
for 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 15 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 15 entrance-units,
of at least 30 session-hours (60 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 the 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 75 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
credits on courses previously passed, except upon explicit recommendation
of the suspending university, and after such additional tests as th
Engineering Faculty may impose.

Credits on Practice-Courses, in Drawing, 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, 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 students majoring in Chemical and Mechanical Engineering begin their
specialized work, while all others pursue identical courses of study through
the year. On entering the Junior year each student elects his specialty. At
this time the students of Mechanical Engineering must choose either the
power or the aeronautical option. 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 presupposes
the completion of the work for all the foregoing years. Students are
advised to adhere strictly to the regular programs. The arangements 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 i
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 Chemical Engineer, Civil
Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, or Mining Engineer.

The 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 the graduates may be better fitted to undertake their
duties as engineers and citizens.

The lectures and recitations in this course are devoted to the study of fundamental
principles underlying the more important phases of industrial chemistry,
including both theoretical and economic problems. A considerable amount of collateral
reading in descriptive industrial chemistry is assigned, and written reports
involving use of the literature are required. Better appreciation of the quantitative
relationships existing in the applications of chemistry is gained through problem
work paralleling the lecture material. A number of plant inspection trips are
arranged during the year. Lectures and recitations, 3 hours a week. (Fall,
Winter, Spring.)

Associate Professor Hitchcock.

386-387-388: Chemical Engineering Research:

This course is designed for candidates for the Ch. E. degree and affords an
introduction to research methods. Fundamental problems are selected, whenever
possible, from the field of greatest interest to the student. The method of attack
is in general to reduce the selected problem to laboratory scale leading to the
collection of basic data susceptible of definite interpretation, rather than to attempt
special investigations on semi-plant equipment which usually lead to merely
empirical data. The use of the chemical literature as an aid in conducting investigations
accompanies the laboratory work, as well as practice in the mathematical
and graphical treatment of the data obtained.

The preparation and submission of a satisfactory thesis marks the completion
of this course, and is a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ch. E.
degree. Two copies of the thesis, typewritten on paper of prescribed quality and
size, and substantially bound, must be deposited in the office of the Dean of the
Department of Engineering not later than May 15 of the year in which it is expected
that the degree will be conferred. The back of the cover must bear the
title of the thesis and the writer's name, and the title page must bear the words:
A thesis presented to the Engineering Faculty of the University of Virginia i
candidacy for the degree of Chemical Engineer. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

Associate Professor Hitchcock.

Advanced Courses: A number of advanced courses in Chemistry, not
listed above, are described 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.

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.

SUMMER SCHOOL

In the Summer School at the University of Virginia it has been possible
for some time to procure many of the non-technical courses required in the
engineering curricula, such as Chemistry, Physics, Commercial Law, Economics
and the Modern Languages. In the Summer School of 1933 there
will be given the following courses as they are given in the regular session:
English 1-2-3; Mathematics 100-106-107 and 108-109-110 with 158-159-160.
In addition at least two courses in Mechanics will again be offered from
the three 526, 527 and 528. If there be a sufficient demand Mechanical
Drawing, 522-572, and Descriptive Geometry, 523-573, will be given.

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. A local society for students of
Chemical Engineering was organized in 1929.

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 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.

TRIGON SOCIETY

The Trigon Engineering Society was founded at the University of Virginia
early in the spring of 1923. It is a local organization which has for its
object the broadening of the education of the engineering student by fraternal
and social contact and by encouraging lectures and study on subjects aside
from those dealing primarily with engineering. The society is active in the
student affairs of the department and is always ready to help in any undertaking
for the betterment of the Engineering School. Members are selected
for their personality, sociability, and promise of high engineering attainment.

ALPHA CHI SIGMA

On May 27, 1922, a charter was granted at the University of Virginia,
creating the Alpha Kappa chapter of the National Chemical Fraternity of
Alpha Chi Sigma. This fraternity recognizes high scholarship, character,
and seriousness of purpose in students specializing in chemistry and chemical
engineering. As the leading national fraternity in this field, it has 47 active
college chapters, 10 professional chapters, and 6 professional groups, serving
to advance chemistry and chemical engineering both scientifically and professionally.
Among the regular activities of the local chapter are the sponsoring
of the annual Alpha Chi Sigma lecture, the award of a membership
in the American Chemical Society to the outstanding student in chemistry
and chemical engineering, and general assistance to the faculty in the conduct
of official functions.

JONES AND BARKSDALE MEMORIAL FUNDS

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. A gift to the Department of Engineering

from Mrs. Hamilton Barksdale in memory of her husband, an alumnus
of the Engineering Department, specifically donated for the purpose of
building up the department library, has made possible much needed changes
and additions to the library.

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 $135 and all other Virginia
students $70 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. A fee of $5 each
for the year's course in Engineering Geology and in Mineralogy is charged.
The fee for each practice course in the Engineering Department, Drawing,
and Engineering Laboratories 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, the Athletic
Fee, and the Tuition and Laboratory Fees.

The Philip Francis duPont Scholarships: Founded in 1928 upon the
generous bequest of Philip Francis duPont, '00:

In the Department of Engineering a number of these scholarships are
awarded annually to both new and old students of the department. The emolument
will vary from $100 to $200, depending upon the income available, with
apportionment at the discretion of the Faculty of Engineering.

The tenure of each scholarship is one year, but any incumbent may be reappointed
upon recommendation of the Dean.

Applicants for these scholarships who have not previously attended the University
must have complied with the entrance requirements before their applications
can be considered; they must give evidence of financial need; and they
must have ranked in the highest quarter of their class. Preference is given to
applicants who ranked in the highest tenth of their class.

Applications must be made on a blank form supplied by the Dean. Students
who have not attended the University must submit their applications not later than
July 1; students attending the University must apply not later than May 1.

The Isabella Merrick Sampson Scholarship in the Department of Engineering,
with an income of $100: Founded in 1910 upon the gift of Mr. W. Gordon
Merrick, of Glendower, Albemarle County, Virginia. Appointments are
made upon the recommendation of the trustees of the Isabbella Merrick Sampson
Endowment. Preference is given to an applicant from Albemarle County.

A limited number of additional scholarships may be granted in the Department
of Engineering from those general scholarships open to any department of the
University. A complete statement regarding all scholarships will be found in the
General Catalogue.

LOAN FUNDS AND STUDENT SELF-HELP

The University is in possession of funds from which loans are made to
deserving students in need of such assistance. An account of these loans is
given in the General Catalogue. Inquiries concerning them should be addressed
to the Bursar.

Opportunities for obtaining remunerative employment are afforded to students
who are desirous by this means of partially paying their way through the University.
It is difficult to give definite assurance of employment to a student before
he reaches the University, but it may be stated that any student with sufficient
resources to carry him through the first half of the session can be reasonably
sure of obtaining work which will help defray his expenses for the rest of the

academic year. Information as to employment may be obtained from the Director,
Bureau of Student Self-Help, Box 1487, University, Virginia.

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 0 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 75 per cent. Absence from
the written term examination incurs a 0 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
parent or guardian. These state for each course followed the term-grade. 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
Freshmen Applied Mathematics may be averaged for the first-year men only,
provided no mark is below 65, and term-grades in Freshman English, Freshman
Mathematics, Sophomore Mathematics, and Sophomore Physics may be
averaged, provided a grade of 75 or higher be made in the third term of the
course with no grade below 65 in the first and second terms of the course.

6. The pass-mark in every course is 75. Class standing and written examination
are combined for the term-grade in such proportions as the several professors
may determine.

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. Any engineering student who fails to attain a passing grade of 75 on
at least 9 term-hours will be placed on probation for the following term, probation
to continue until at least 9 term-hours are passed in one term. No engineering
student shall remain on probation for more than three terms, whether consecutive
or not, in his entire engineering course. If probation is imposed a fourth time the
student shall be suspended.

10. Any engineering student on probation who fails to attain a passing grade
of 75 on at least 6 term-hours and whose average grade on all courses taken is
less than 65 will be suspended. Any engineering student who passes less than 6
term-hours and whose average grade on all courses taken is less than 65 will be
suspended. Suspension during a session continues for the remainder of the regular
session. Suspension imposed at the end of a session holds for the whole of a
subsequent session, except that such suspension may be absolved by the successful
completion of prescribed work in the Summer Quarter. No engineering student
suspended for a second time shall re-enter the department.

11. The Dean's List.—A student, who, in any session, passes on all
courses taken, aggregating not less than 18 session-hours, with an average grade
on all courses of not less than 82 per cent, will be placed on the Dean's list. A

student, who, in any session, passes on all courses taken aggregating not less than
18 session-hours, but who does not average 82 per cent, and who, in any subsequent
term, passes on all courses taken, aggregating not less than 18 term-hours, with an
average grade on all 18 term-hours of not less than 82 per cent will be placed
on the Dean's List. A student will be automatically dropped from the Dean's List,
if, in any term, he does not pass on all courses taken, aggregating not less than
18 term-hours, with an average grade on all courses of not less than 82 per cent.
A student dropped from the Dean's List will be again placed on it if he meets the
above mentioned standard for a term. A student on the Dean's List is not subject
to the regulations limiting the issuance of leaves of absence from the University,
nor does absence from any class entail on such student any penalty, affecting
class standing, imposed for absence alone. Students on the Dean's List must
attend all laboratory classes and must perform all written problem work and take
all written quizzes under the same conditions as all other students.

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 layout 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. A vertical blue-printing machine with arc lamp,
complete with trays, has recently been procured and installed. 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.

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. A set of Beggs' Deformeter apparatus
is available for use in the work of Bridge Design.

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. In recent years a
large number of new machines, measuring instruments and pieces of auxiliary
apparatus have been purchased. Improvements are constantly being made and
items of equipment added. As a result the laboratory is now well supplied with
the best modern equipment.

Power is supplied to the laboratory from the University distribution system
through a transformer vault located in the building. There is also installed a
motor generator set consisting of a synchronous motor driving an alternator and
a three-wire direct-current generator. A complete three-panel switchboard for
the control of this set is equipped with the necessary instruments and includes an
automatic voltage regulator for the alternator. Power is carried from the switchboard
to distribution panels located at convenient points. Universal plug- and
receptacle-connections facilitate the setting up of all experimental combinations.

For the machine testing there are available several direct-current motor
generator sets with automatic control; numerous series, shunt and compound
motors and generators; synchronous and induction motor driven generator sets;
high voltage direct-current generator; steam turbine driven three-phase alternator
with exciter and control switchboard; two experimental test sets for alternating
current single or polyphase generator operation; single-phase induction motor;
single-phase repulsion-induction motor; two-phase induction motor; three-phase
squirrel cage induction motors of the general purpose, high reactance and double
cage types; wound rotor induction motors; induction generator; wound rotor induction

The instrument room is unusually well equipped with all of the types of high
grade portable meters required for the laboratory tests, including frequency and
power factor meters, watthour meters, synchroscopes, tachometers, instrument
transformers, recording voltmeters, ammeters and wattmeters.

For testing and calibrating the portable instruments and for more precise work
in electrical measurements there are available a set of laboratory standard instruments
with standard shunts and resistances; standard cells; standard condensers,
inductances and resistances; galvanometers of the best modern type and numerous
other pieces of apparatus of the highest precision such as the Wolff potentiometer,
Siemens and Halske-Thomson double bridge, Carey-Foster bridge, Koepsel permeameter,
Fahy simplex permeameter and others.

For experiments in illumination and photometry there are a Station photometer
with Lummer-Brodhun screen, a Macbeth illuminometer, General Electric

Equipment for the study of communication and power transmission includes
a complete artificial transmission line; an adjustable frequency test oscillator;
bridge; vacuum tube voltmeter-ammeter; representative pieces of modern telephone
equipment including two central office ringer sets; equipment for the study of
vacuum tube performance; model network distribution system; all with the necessary
auxiliary apparatus.

The laboratory is equipped with three oscillographs which are available for
the study of wave forms and transient phenomena. Two of the oscillographs are
of the latest portable type—one a six element and the other a one element. All
are complete with the necessary accessories for both visual observation and photographic
recording.

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 two offices, a reading room for 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 student's lavatory. In order to more adequately care for increased
numbers this building has undergone a considerable rearrangement during
recent years. Wood and machine shop equipment has been entirely removed
from the building, as well as the facilities for 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 Drawing Room is temporarily housed in the sub-basement of Cabell
Hall which has been fitted for drawing. The room accommodates about 100
men, each man having his individual drawing desk.

The New Power House is a single story building 130 by 60 feet, in which
is housed the University heating plant. The equipment includes two 310
horsepower Heine water tube boilers, equipped with single retort stokers
of the underfeed type, supplied by the Combustion Engineering Corporation,
two Babcock and Wilcox boilers (Stirling type) fitted with underfeed twin-retort
Detroit stokers, two steam and two electrically driven circulating
pumps, low pressure heaters, etc. Provision has been made for the future
installation of two uniflow steam engine generator sets for the supply of
electric current to the University buildings. The entire plant is available
for instructional purposes.

Plants available for inspection both locally and elsewhere throughout the
State include the Bremo Bluff and other generating stations of the Virginia

Public Service Company, the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory,
Hampton, the Newport News Shipyard, the Norfolk Navy Yard,
the Rothwell Cold Storage and Ice Company's plants in Charlottesville
and Waynesboro, the Norfolk and Western Railway shops and the works
of the Virginia Bridge and Iron Company at Roanoke, the Charlottesville
Woolen Mills, etc. Visits of several days' duration are organized to distant
points and are made to coincide, if possible, with some event of more
than usual interest, such as the launching of a cruiser at the Newport News
Shipyard, the visit of an airplane carrier to Hampton Roads or the sea trials
of a passenger liner.

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.

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 45,000 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.
