ENGINEERING
Most of the non-technical courses in the regular engineering curriculum
such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, English, Modern Languages,
Economics, etc., may be taken in the Summer Quarter.
In addition to the above the following courses in Applied Mathematics
will be offered if there is sufficient demand for them. Those who are interested
in these courses should communicate with the Dean of the Summer
Quarter at the earliest possible date. As soon as sufficient applications
are received definite announcements will be made as to which courses will
be given. The tuition fee is determined largely by the number enrolled in
the course. It is usually approximately $25.00 per course. Payment of this
fee and $5.00 registration fee entitles the student to take one additional summer
school course without extra cost.
