COLLEGE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. FACULTY. The Faculty of each College consists of the President of the University and the resident Professors, Associate Professors, Assistant Professors, and Lecturers giving instruction in the College. UNDERGRADUATE COURSE. The requirements for admission are: (A) Oral and Written Expression, (1) English, (3) Algebra, (4) Plane Geometry, (5) History and Government of the United States, (11) Physics, either (6) Latin or (8) Greek or (14) English or (15a2) French or (1562) German, (12a1) Solid and Spherical Geometry, (12a) Plane Trigonometry, (12b) Chemistry, and (16) Free-hand Drawing. See page 64 for requirements to be added in 1905. The requirements for graduation from this College, with the degree of B.S., are set forth in the following scheme.* The studies are explained in detail in the description of the Courses of Instruction.

Totals Junior Year. 151 164 The Freshman and Sophomore courses in Irrigation Engineering are the same as for the other Civil Engineering courses, except that they omit Mineralogy and Shop Practice, and add three units elective in the Sophomore year. At the beginning of the Junior year, the general course in Civil Engineering divides into three separate branches, one of which the student must choose; namely (1) Railroad Engineering, (2) Sanitary Engineering, and (3) Irrigation Engineering.

As much time as is practicable, including a summer class in surveying, is given to the first division.of work, with the intention of rendering the student skillful and ready in the use of the instruments and methods adopted by the best field engineers. Same course as for Railroad Engineering students, except omission of lectures (1 unit). Full theoretical discussion is given to the different topics in constructive engineering; and practical application and illustration are given at length in the engineering draughting-rooms. GRADUATE COURSES. To graduate students are extended the facilities for advanced or special work which the libraries, laboratories, and collections of the University afford. A canditate for the degree of Civil Engineer must be a graduate of the College of Civil Engineering of this University, or must have successfully completed a course of study equivalent to the regular undergraduate course of that college; and must pass a satisfactory examination in the following subjects; railway tunnels; principles of construction of walls, arches, domes, retaining walls; specifications and contracts; engineering and irrigation laws, irrigation engineering, etc.; standard authors upon river and harbor engineering; practical astronomy; drawing and designing of engineering structures; English, and either history or political economy. The applicant must have had at least one year of actual practice of his profession, and must present an acceptable original memoir upon some subject bearing upon his profession. This degree will not be given earlier than three years after completion of the undergraduate work. |
