Degrees at other Universities:
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING.
The degree course in Aeronautical Engineering is a four year course taken
at the University of Sydney. Students who have completed the first two years
of the Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering courses at this University
may make application to transfer to the third year of the above course in Sydney.

Matriculation and Faculty Pre-requisites

All first year students must matriculate—i.e., make the prescribed declaration
and sign the matriculation roll—at the Registrar's Ofnce during the first terns.
The dates fixed for matriculation in 1955 are 19th and 20th April.
Unless this is done no subjects passed can count towards a degree. Students
should satisfy themselves that they are qualified to matriculate before enrolling.
Attention is drawn to the following points relevant to the obtaining of the
matriculation qualification:—
In order to become qualified to matriculate, candidates must—
(a) obtain the School Leaving Certificate and be credited therein with five
subjects including
(i) English,
(ii) a branch of Mathematics or of Science,
(iii) one other subject chosen from the languages other than English,
Greek and Roman History, Modern History, British History,
Economics, Social Studies ;
(b) pass the Matriculation Examination by obtaining credit for four subjects,
including English Expression ;
(c) attain the age of seventeen years by March 31st in the year concerned.
In addition to matriculating, candidates must also have passed the pre-requisite
subjects (if any) prescribed for their course. For the Bachelors' courses in
Engineering and Surveying the pre-requisites comprise passes at the Matriculation
Examination in at least one from each of the following pairs of subjects: (1)
Physics, Chemistry; (2) Calculus and Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics.
Note : Those wishing to enter Engineering Courses are advised that the teaching
of the First Year subjects is of a University standard and assumes that Mathematics
I, Mathematics II, Physics and Chemistry have been taken at least to the Leaving
level.
The First Year Mathematical subject, Engineering Mathematics Part I, is
predominantly a Pure Mathematics subject.
Wherе students have definitely decided on the course they wish to undertake
the following recommendations are made :
B.Met.E. and B.Chem.E. courses
Chemistry should be taken to the Matriculation level.
B.E.E. course
Pure Mathematics and Physics should be taken to the Matriculation level.
Ex-service candidates, (i.e. those who have given not less than twelve months'
service in the armed forces of the United Nations in Korea, and in special cases
other candidates, may be given special treatment as regards pre-requisites.
Enquiries in such cases should be made of the Registrar.
The Professorial Board has discretionary powers concerning matricula-
tion, and certain matriculation concessions may be made to candidates in the
following categories :
(a) Persons who in their first University year become 17 years of age after
31st March but before the start of the Annual Examinations may be admitted to
matriculation if they have fulfilled one of the following conditions:
(a) passed the Matriculation Examination twice,
(b) passed the Matriculation Examination with a minimum of three
honours,
(c) passed the Matriculation Examination with particular distinction but
with less than three honours.
9
в
In each case the Professorial Board will satisfy itself about the maturity of the
candidate.
(b) Adult matriculants (i.c., persons who are at least twenty years of age
and also nave left school four full years on 31st March).. Such candidates are
normally required to pass either a special test in English or pass in Matriculation
English Expression or English Literature and a reduced number of other matricu-
lation subjects.
(c) Special cases (i.e., persons whose studies have been hampered by illness
or by changes in requirements, or whose qualifications are deficient only in a
very minor respect). Individual determinations are made in these cases.
(d) Persons in employment. Candidates who are in full-time employment
and have passed the necessary School Leaving subjects may qualify to matriculate
by passing, while in full-time employment, in four Matriculation subjects including
English Expression at any three sittings.
(e) Technical College students. Candidates with approved technical college
qualifications are qualified to matriculate if they have passed at the Matriculation
Examination in English Expression.
(f) Ad eund сm st а tum applicants. Candidates wiio ba'-e qualified to mat-
riculate in another recognized University may be admitted to matriculation.
All candidates for special forms of matriculation should consult the Matricula-
tion Officer in the Registrar's Office, who will advise them as to the form of
application required.

Lectures and Time-table of Lectures

The syllabus for each course of lectures and for practical work is shown in
details of courses and subjects (see page 55 et seq.).
The rooms assigned to classes will be published on the Engineering School
Notice Board before the beginning of First Term.
The time-table of lectures in the various courses is printed on page 45.
17
 Evening Lectures
Subject to sufficient enrolments being received, evening lectures will be delivered
in 1955 in the following subjects :
Applied Mathematics Parts I and III.
Physics Part I (with laboratory work).
Pure Mathematics Parts I and II.
These lectures are for bass candidates only.
Vacation Work
Students are required to obtain suitable vacation work experience each year
during the vacation which follows the Annual Examinations (see Regulations and
details).
The University Appointments Board is usually able to assist students in
finding suitable employment.
Vacation Reading:
Students are advised that they are expected to use a considerable partof
the summer and spring vacations for reading purposes. In some cases specific
references are made in the following details ; in others a list of suitable books will
be posted on the appropriate notice boards; in all cases the lecturers concerned
should be consulted.
University Survey Camp:
A University Survey Camp, of three weeks' duration, followed by plotting
and computations in the Drawing Office, may be arranged in the summer at a site
selected by the Head of the Department of Surveying to enable students to con-
form with vacation experience requirements. Students who have not obtained the
requisite experience in Surveying under a competent surveyor must attend at least
one University Survey Camp and do the consequent Office work.
Members of the Camp defray their own travelling and camp expenses. The
University provides the instruments and a limited number of tents. A meeting
of intending members is called during the second term of the Second Year to
elect a camp committee, which is responsible to the Head of the Department for
details of arrangements. Each member must be approved by the Head of the De-
partment before admission and must pay to the committee, at least seven days
before the end of the third term, a contribution for transport and camp expenses,
usually about Ls, and also an amount, about fl, to cover the cost of transport of
instruments and repairs and renewal of equipment. Students from other Univer-
sities and recognised Technical Schools may be admitted by the Head of the
Department.

Scholarships, Bursaries, Prizes and Financial Assistance

THE COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME
The Commonwealth Government provides 3,000 scholarships each year for
open competition among students who wish to undertake tertiary courses at
universities and other approved institutions.
Approved Courses
Commonwealth Scholarships are available in all first degree courses and
certain combined courses and undergraduate diploma courses at universities
and institutions of university status, in Technical College and School of Mines
diploma courses at prescribed standards, and in other approved professional
courses. The courses approved include part-time as well as full-time courses,
and in approved circumstances a student may be permitted to take a full-time
course on a part-time basis.
In general, selected students will be free to apply their scholarships to any of
the approved courses.
Eligibility
Commonwealth Scholarships are in general intended to enable boys and girls
who have just successfully completed their secondary education to proceed direct
to a university or similar institution. For this reason an applicant will be normally
18
 required to have matriculated and to be under twenty-one years of age on 1st
January in the year in which he desires to commence his course. Special conditions
apply to applicants for scholarships to do full-time Technical College diploma
courses. The applicant and his parents will, in general, be required to be domiciled
in Australia or to be permanently resident in Australia. Students who are
granted exemptions equivalent to two years of the course (see p. 11) are also
eligible for Commonwealth Scholarships. Special provision is made, however,
for a limited number of scholarships to be made available to mature age students
aged not less than twenty-five years on 1st January in the year in which
the scholarship is desired and not more than thirty years on 1st January in the year
of commencement of the course.
Selection
Commonwealth Scholarships will be awarded on the results of applicants at
the examination qualifying for matriculation in the university in the state con-
cerned, even though matriculation is not required for the course they desire to
study. Special provision is made, however, for selection of students who wish to
take diploma courses in Technical Colleges and for students awarded mature age
scholarships.
13cncjïts
Selection for scholarships will be made entirely on merit, and all students
awarded scholarships will be entitled to tuition fees and certain other compulsory
expenses, irrespective of the means of their parents. In addition, selected students
who are undertaking full-time courses may apply for a living allowance, which
will be payable subject to a means test.
The maximum living allowance is f169 per annum for a student living with
his Parents and {240/10/- per annum for a student not living with his parents.
Special provision is made concerning benefits payable to mature age students.
Winners of scholarships will be entitled to benefits for the duration of their
courses, subject to satisfactory progress. When a university course does not
complete a professional qualification, a scholarship may be extended for this
purpose.
Living Allowances
Students undertaking approved full-time courses will be entitled to apply for
a living allowance, subject to a means test. This will be based on the income
of the applicant and his parents for the financial year preceding that in which
he desires assistance. Maximum living allowance will be paid when the
adjusted family income does not exceed f б()0 per annum, and will he abated at the
rate of f3 for every f10 by which the family income exceeds f600 per annum.
The adjusted family income is the total of the incomes of the applicant and
his parents for the preceding financial year less {100 for the first dependent
child under sixteen years of age (other than the applicant) and f50 for each other
such dependent child.
Deferment
A student awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship will be permitted in
certain circumstances to defer his scholarship for a maximum period of twelve
months. Deferment will he permitted where—
(a) the applicant has not reached the age required by the Institution to
qualify him for entrance upon the course of training he desires to take;
( Ь ) the student, although nominally qualified in regard to age to undertake
а course, desires to defer Isis course for a year in order that he may be
mmore mature to undertake higher study;
( е ) the student, although awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship, is unable
to undertake his course immediately because of ill-health ;
(d) there are special circumstances which justify deferment being granted.
Ens¢layment
Commonwealth scholars not in receipt of living allowance may undertake
whatever amount of employment in tern they desire. A scholar in receipt of living
allowance may undertake employment during term only with the permission of the
Education Department.
19
 No restriction is placed on the amount of employment a scholar undertakes
during the long vacation.
A student receiving a living allowance under the scheme may have an income
from all sources of up to £1/10/- per week without deduction from his living allow-
ance, and during long vacations he may in addition earn up to £3 per week from
employment. This means that during the long vacation a scholar may earn up to
£4/10/- per week without deduction from the living allowance he would otherwise
receive.
Closing Dates
The closing date for application for continuation of Scholarships in 1956
is 30th November, 1955.
Application forms and further information may be obtained from—
The Officer-iп-Charge,
Commonwealth Scholarships Branch,
Education Department,
University Grounds,
CARLTON, N.3

DAFYDD LEWIS TRUST. Under the terms of The Dafydd Lewis Trust,
scholarships for University courses other than Theology, Music, Arts and Education
are available to boys who have been educated in Victoria at State Elementary, State
Secondary or Technical Schools for at least five years before the award of the
scholarship. The age limit, reckoned at January 1st, for Technical School
candidates is 20k years, and for others 185 years. The parents of the applicant
must not be in receipt of a joint weekly income of more than an amount equivalent
to the purchasing power of £6 at the time of the benefactor's death (17/8/41). For
the purpose of the 1954 awards the figure was f17/9/3 per week. No holder
of one of these scholarships shall be entitled to hold also a Government Senior
Scholarship or a Resident Scholarship at any of the University colleges. Renewal
of the award annually depends upon satisfactory progress in work. The scholarships
provide for payment of University fees and for maintenance of students during the
tenure of the scholarships. There is also provision for post-graduate work and study
abroad for any student who shows exceptional talent and fitness for the career he
proposes to follow. Applications must be lodged by 1st December each year with
the Secretary, The Dafydd Lewis Trust, c/o The Trustees, Executors & Agency Co.

GOWRIE SCHOLARSHIP TRUST FUND. In addition to post-graduate
research travelling scholarships and secondary school scholarships, four or five
University entrance scholarships, of the value £75 p.a. and tenable for the normal
period of a University course, are awarded by the Trustees. Applications are due
on the 31st December in each year. Further particulars may be obtained from the
Secretary, The Gowrie Scholarship Trust Fund, G.P.O. Box 2069, Sydney, N.S.W.
STUDENTS' LOAN FUND. Loans from 10 to £150 may be made in any
one year to matriculated students who are pursuing or intend to pursue a
University course, and who cannot proceed without such assistance.
Applications for loans must be lodged with the Registrar on the appropriate
form not later than 18th February.
Applications must be accompanied by evidence of the student's ability and
full particulars of his financial position. The borrower must also provide a
guarantor who is able and willing to guarantee the repayment of the loan.
Provided that the borrower's work is satisfactory, the loan is free of interest
during his course. Thereafter interest is chargeable at the rate of 4 per cent..
for five years, and at 5 per cent, on any balance unpaid after that period.

GRANTS FROM RESEARCH FUNDS
Allocation
Grants from the General Research Fund are made by the Professorial Board on
the advice of its Standing Research Committee and the Heads of the Departments
concerned.
20
 Research Awards
A limited number of research awards are made annually to first-class candi-
dates who are proceeding to higher degrees and who show promise of aptitude for
research. Scholars are expected to devote their whole time to research, except for
such tutoring and demonstrating work as is approved by the Head of the appro-
priate Department. Awards are made for one year, but may be renewed for addi-
tional yearly periods.
Research grants are awarded to selected graduates of Bachelor standing. The
tenure of a research grant is generally not extended beyond two years.
Research scholarships are awarded to selected candidates of Master standing
who have shown marked ability for research and who are undertaking further
research training, whether as Ph.D. candidates or otherwise. Research scholar-
ships may be renewed annually for a period not exceeding five years.

Emoluments of Awards
The value of research grants is f200 for the first year and f350 for the second
year plus annual compulsory fees. The value of research scholarships varies from
f450 to f500 per annum.
Grants for travel within Australia may be made to research scholars in
appropriate cases.

Research Fellowship
The University Research Fellowship, of the value of #750-f1,000 per annum, is
awarded in the first instance for two years and is renewable for annual periods up
to, and in exceptional cases beyond, a maximum period of five years. The Fellow
may not engage in teaching, or other work outside his research, without the
Professorial Board's permission, and he must annually submit to the Board a
report on his work.

Travelling Research Scholarships

Two Travelling Research Scholarships are offered each year to enable a
graduate who shows first-rate capacity for research to undertake approved work
at an overseas university, or other suitable institution. The value of the scholar-
ship, which is normally awarded for two years, is IA600 per annum.

Research Report
All persons conducting research in the University, whether under research
awards or otherwise, are required to submit, by the end of February in each year,
reports on their research during the preceding twelve months to the Heads of
their Departments, together with a list of their research publications during that
period. Heads of Departments also submit departmental research reports, which
are published in the annual Report of Research and Investigation.
Mode of Application
Applications for research awards and grants must be made on a form designed
for the purpose (and available at the Registrar's Office). Applications must be
lodged with the Registrar on or about 15th December. In general, research awards
are made as from 1st March.
Further information may be obtained from either the Dean of Graduate Studies
or the Research Secretary.

 Libraries
The Library in the north wing of the quadrangle, with branches in several
of the Departments, is open to all students. Most books recommended for
study or for reference arc available for use in the Library, which also provides.
fully for the requirements of wider reading. Students may borrow from the Library ;
but prescribed text-books, and books in regular and constant use, are not to be
borrowed except under special circumstances. The Library Rules arc displayed
in the Library and are also distributed in leaflet form.
The Branch library at the Engineering School is open front 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
during the year, including vacations, and on Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 12
noon, except during the Long Vacation and First Term Vacation. It is closed
for the fortnight following Christmas. The staff is in constant attendance to help
students avail themselves of its resources.
Students seeking information should know that, apart from the Card Index
(which should always be first consulted), the Engineering Library contains
certain general Indexes and Abstracts of Technical Literature, which they should
find of great assistance, especially in the later part of their courses. These are,
chiefly:
Thе Engineering Index.
MetalInrgical Abstracts. (Inst. of Metals, Lend.)
A.S.M. Review of Metal Literature (American Society for Metals.)
Electrical Engineering Abstracts. (Science abstracts B.)
There is also a guide to current periodicals which include Abstracts and
Indexes of Technical Literature of a more specialized nature.

Examinations
A,tnual Examination. All candidates for the Annual Examination, whether
enrolled as attending lectures or for external studies, must lodge an examination
entry with the Registrar not later than Friday, 5th August. The entry must
specify whether the candidate intends presenting for pass or honours in each
subject, no candidate being permitted to enter for both pass and honours in the
sanie subject. Candidates who take the honours papers in any subject but fail to
reach honours standard are eligible to be granted a pass.
A time-table of the Annual Examination will be available at the Registrar's
Office some weeks before the examination. No additional examination fee is
payable by those who have paid full lecture fees in the subjects for which they
present themselves. Candidates sitting at country centres must pay, in addition, a
supervision fee of f1/1/- per subject. Examination numbers for candidates pre-
senting at the University will be avaihahle at the Registrar's Office on and after
the Monday before the examination begins, and must be applied for by candidates
in person.
Candidates prevented by illness or other serious cause from sitting for the
Annual Examination may be granted a special examination by the Faculty on
submission of satisfactory evidence of the cause of absence from the Annua,
Examination. All applications for such special examinations must be made at once
to the Registrar.
When a candidate's studies during the academic year have been gravely
hianipered by illness or other serious cause the appropriate Faculty may (upon
application being macle to the Registrar prior to the commencing date of the
Annual Examination, supported by medical or other proper evidence) direct the
examiners to take the circumstances into account.
When a candidate at the Annual Examination is to a substantial degree
affected by illness during the course of an examination in any subject, the Faculty
may (upon application being made to the Registrar within three days after such
examination, supported by medical or other proper evidence) direct the examiners
in that subject to take the circumstances into account. No such application will,
however, be considered unless the candidate either during or immediately after
such examination shall have reported to the supervisor in charge the circumstances
relied on in the application.
33
 Any student, moreover, in any Faculty who fails to make satisfactory
progress may be reported to the Professorial Board, and may be excluded
from such course or courses as the Professorial Board shall specify, or may be
limited in any year to subjects specified by the Board.

list of Principal Dates. This application must be accompanied by a bank-
slip for the Degree or Diploma fee.
The fees are as follows :
For the Degree of Bachelor of any branch of Engineering i10 10 0
For the Degree of Master of any Branch of Engineering .. 12 12 0*
For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy .. . .. 15 15 0*
For the Degree of Doctor of Engineering .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 26 5 0*

Discipline
Special attention is directed to the following provision of Statute XXV,
section 7 :-
"7. Where any Faculty considers that at two successive Annual Examina-
tions any student has not made satisfactory progress in his course, the Faculty
may report the circumstances to the Professorial Board. After giving the student
an opportunity of being heard, the Board may determine that the student—
(a) be excluded from such course or courses as it shall specify; or
(b) be limited in any year to such subject or subjects as it shall specify;
and the student shall thereupon be so excluded or limited as the case may be. The
determination of the Professorial Board pursuant to this section shall be final."

Student Guidance
Student Counsellor
The Student Counsellor is located on the first floor of the temporary adminis-
trative building at the north end of the site of Wilson Hall. He is available to advise
intending students and to advise and help students with problems of adjustment to
University life auch financial and personal difficulties. He is available in the usual
University office hours, with or without appointment.
The Student Counsellor acts as liaison between the student and the Appoint-
ments Board where a student is in need of information regarding future employ-
ment opportunities or has a special employment problem.
Assistant Student Cоuп sсllor
The Assistant Student Counsellor is Miss J. Utber. Miss Utber is a trained
social worker and assists the Student Counsellor in dealing with students' problems.
She is available in the usual University hours with or without appointment.

Appointments Board
The Appointments Board provides an employment service for men and women
with University training. This service is free of charge and is available to
graduates and undergraduates throughout their professional lives. The Board has
reciprocal agreements with other University Appointments Boards throughout
Australia and the United Kingdon whereby these Boards make their services
available to graduates and undergraduates of the University of Melbourne.
Besides catering for those whose studies at the University have terminated,
*Less the examination fee.

34
the Appointments Board arranges work during the long vacations for those wish-
ing to earn money or to widen their experience. Quite apart from the pecuniary
factor, vacation work enables students and employers to become acquainted, and
frequently leads to attractive offers of permanent employment after graduation.
Vacation work has a real educational value beside tending to break down the
prejudice of other workers against people with University training.
An Odd Jobs Bureau is operated by the Appointments Board for students who
find it necessary to earn money in odd spare hours of time during their courses.
For years past the Board has compiled statistical records of trends in the
demand for graduates, and conducts, from time to time, surveys into age and
income distribution within the professions based on University training. It is thus
in the position to assist those requiring advice on University courses in relation
to careers. Intending students requiring advice are invited to arrange appoint-
ments with the Secretary (Ir. H. E. Downes).
Undergraduates requiring jobs during the vacations should register early to
give the Board sufficient time to make the necessary arrangements; those requiring
jobs through the Long Vacation should register before the end of August.
Students in their final year and contemplating permanent appointments should
register early in the final year and should keep in touch with the Appointments
Board until they are satisfactorily placed. It is advisable for all students to visit
the Appointments Board two or three times a year during their courses to become
acquainted with the Secretary and his Assistants and to obtain information on
current employment trends. Ir. Downes caters for engineers, Mr. K. Gravell for
all other men graduates and Miss Marjorie Ross for women of all faculties.
Registration is advised even in those cases where arrangements have already
been made independently for employment after graduation. The Board's respon-
sibility to graduates continues throughout their working lives ; and there are very
few graduates whom the Appointments Board is not in a position to help at some
stage or other during their working lives. All men and women currently registered
and available for employment are kept advised of suitable vacancies coming to the
notice of the Board. They receive, also, each year, a copy of the Appointments
Board Report containing up-to-date information on employment trends, opportunities
for graduates, and current salary rates.

The Union
The Union is an organization designed to provide a common centre for the
many important activities of University life outside the lecture room and the labora-
tory. In addition to providing a common meeting ground and social centre for
students of all faculties, the Union in various ways, e.g., through its Theatre, Library
and Music Room, seeks to promote broader cultural interests and in general to
emphasize the importance, in a real University course, of a wide variety of activities
not directly connected with examinations, and to encourage in every student reason-
able participation in the non-academic side of University life.
Student Housing
Accommodation can be found for students, either in hostels, private homes
or guest houses, through the Housing Officer. This service is free but as suitable
accommodation is limited, students can contribute considerably to its effectiveness
and administration by informing the Housing Officer when their needs are met.
The Housing Officer is situated in an office opening off the Men's Lounge on
the first floor of Union I-Iouse.
Union Eхсhаnge
(a) Text-books. The Exchange accepts books for sale to other students at .
two-thirds, or less, of the new price according to condition. The seller collects the
proceeds less а small handling charge.
(h) Services. Dry cleaning, boot repairs, laundry and such like services are
handled at special rates through the Exchange.
(c) Discount service. The Union has arranged with certain city firms for
discounts to he given to its members. Information (and a member's privilege card)
may be obtained at the Exchange or the Union Office.
The Exchange is located on the first floor of Union House at the east end.
35
Catering
Midday and evening meals are provided in term in the Cafeteria. Members
who bring their own lunches mау eat then in the Buffet (where tea and coffee are
available) or, when the weather is favourable, on the lawns or the roof garden.
A sandwich bar is located on the west side of Union House in a detached building.
Facilities for private entertaining are available to members.
Other Facilities
The Union Theatre, the Ewing Art Gallery (approached through the Theatre),
the Rowden White Library (upstairs in the south-east corner) are major features
of Union House. .
Lounges, a Music Room and a Billiard Room are available for the use of

Student Facilities
Student Health Service. A mass anti-T.B. campaign will be organized during
1955, when a mobile X-ray unit will visit the University. Arrangements will also
be made for Mantoux skin tests and B.C.G. vaccinations for students during the year.
The S.R.C. also conducts a free eye examination scheme in conjunction with
the Australian College of Optometry. Examinations are carried out by final year
optometry students, under supervision, at the Collins Street clinic of the College.
Students who desire to have their eyes examined should make appointments at
the Australian College of Optometry, Fourth Floor, Kurrajong House, 177 Collins
Street, or by telephoning Central 2879.
After examination, students receive a report on the condition of their eyes.
If treatment is necessary students are then advised to consult a practitioner of
their own choice.
Blood Donors. Blood donors are urgently needed. In this University there are
approximately six thousand students ; contributions from these students would
greatly alleviate this need. Any who are able to contribute should contact the
S.R.C. Office, Union House.
Student lousing and Union Exchange. See under The Union.
Air Force and Arюiy Training Units
The attention of students is drawn to University units for the training of

 PRACTICAL WORK (Regulation, Section 4)
The following rules apply for practical work in all subjects of the courses
in the Faculty of Engineering.
(a) Students are expected to attend all practical work sessions (laboratory,
drawing office and field work, practice classes, seminars, and excursions)
and to complete all the practical work assignments set by the lecturer in
charge. Unless excused on account of special circumstances, a candidate
who fails to complete the set assignments in any subject will be liable to
disqualification in that subject for that year's annual examination. Candi-
dates so disqualified will usually be notified in writing by the Faculty
before the written examination, but the Faculty is not bound to give such
noti fication.
(b) Students must reach an adequate standard in practical work in order
to pass the annual examination. It will be stated in the details of the
individual subjects whether the candidate's standard is to be assessed by
means of a practical examination, and/or the work submitted by him during
the year. Students must not expect to be notified before the written exami-
nation whether their practical work has been judged satisfactory or not.
(c) Assignments (e.g. drawings, designs, laboratory and other reports,
exercises, field books) not submitted to the lecturer or demonstrator in
charge by the due dates may fail to count as practical work done.
(d) All assignments in the practical work in any subjects must be preserved
for resubmission if called for by the lecturer or examiners.
VACATION WORK (Regulation, Section 4)
After the Annual Examination of each year and before entering upon the
work of the following year, a candidate shall satisfy the Faculty that he has
spent a period of not less than five consecutive weeks in obtaining approved
practical experience, as follows :-
(a) Between First and Second Years all candidates shall—
(i) attend an approved course of workshop training at a Technical
College recognized for this purpose;
or (ii) attend a course of workshop training under an approved engineer.
(b) Between Second and Third Years-
В. С.Е., B.I.E. and В.Surv. candidates shall obtain approved practical experi-
ence in Surveying.
B.Mech.E., B.E.E., B.Met.E. and B.Cliem.E. candidates shall obtain approved
practical experience of a branch of Engineering, Metallurgy or Chemical Engineer-
ing appropriate to the course.
(c) Between Third and Fourth Years—
All candid п tes shall obtain approved practical experience of a branch of
Engineering, Metallurgy, Surveying or Chemical Engineering appropriate to the
course.
In all cases the practical experience must he obtained uiuler a competent
engineer, surveyor, metallurgist, geologist or chemical engineer. The Faculty may
grant either partial or total exemption from these requirements to candidates
who produce satisfactory evidence of suitable experience elsewhere, and in special
cases may grant dispensation.
Before the end of First Tern, candidates shall produce written evidence
of their practical experience during the preceding vacation. After the experience
has been approved by Faculty, a certificate to this effect will be issued to the
candidate, and a duplicate lodged with Students' Records Office. Candidates
should preserve their certificates carefully as evidence of their having performed
approved vacation work.
Before beginning a period of practical experience, candidates should ensure
that it will satisfy the Faculty by consulting the Head of the Department
concerned. In doubtful cases an application should be addressed to the Dean.
FIRST AID (B.I.E. AND В.Surv. COURSES)
Candidates for the degrees of B.M.E. and В.Surv. shall before graduation
present evidence satisfactory to the Faculty that they hold a St. John Ambulance
First Aid certificate or equivalent qualification. Candidates for the B.M.E. degree
are strongly advised to obtain this qualification before the end of the Second Year
of their courses.
tThe examination in these subjects will be for Pass only.
58
 VARIATIONS IN COURSES (Regulation, Section 5)
Candidates who wish to vary their courses must make a written application.
The following variations will normally be approved:—
All Courses.
Applied Mathematics Part I (Higher Grade) together with Pure Mathematics
Part I (Higher Grade) instead of Engineering Mathematics Part I.
Applied Mathematics Part II (Honours course) instead of Engineering Mathe-
matics Part III.
Chemistry Part IA instead of Chemistry Part I (Engineering Course)
Pure Mathematics Part II (Honours course) instead of Engineering Mathe-
matics Part II.
Pure Mathematics Part III (Honours course) or some other approved mathe-
matical subject instead of Engineering Mathematics Part IV.
B.C.E.
Geology Part I instead of Geology Part I (Engineering Course)
(This is recommended for candidates intending to take Geology Part II
in the Fourth Year. The special lectures in Engineering Geology should
also be attended).
B.M.E.
Engineering Design, Groups I, II and either III (a) or III (b) and Geology
Part II (Mining Course) instead of Engineering Design Groups I and II
and Geology Part II.
B.E.E.
Physics Part II instead of Physics Part II (Engineering Course) and
Surveying Part I. This is essential for candidates who wish to take the
combined five year course leading to the degrees of B.E.E. and B.Sc.
Hydraulic Engineering Part IA instead of Applied Fluid Mechanics and
Elements of Electronics. Students varying their courses in this manner
may be permitted to take Hydraulic Engineering Part IIA as the
optional subject in Fourth Year.
Four units of Physics Part III, instead of the optional subjects, may be taken
by candidates permitted to take Final Honours. The units selected must
be approved by the Head of the Department.
B.Surv.
In order to be credited with the subject First Aid, a candidate must present
a certificate satisfactory to the Faculty of having acquired proficiency
in First Aid to the Injured. This may be done at any stage of the course,
and not only in the Fourth Year as specified in the List of Subjects.
PASSING BY YEARS (Regulation, Section 6)
The requirement that a candidate shall have passed one year of the course
before being allowed to proceed to any subject of the succeeding year will normally
be waived only:
(1) in the case of an ex-serviceman who passes in at least three-fifths of the
work of a year of the course;
(2) in exceptional cases of illness during the course, or other such circum-
stances beyond the control of the candidate.
The requirement that a candidate shall repeat the whole of a year not success-
fully completed will normally be waived only in the case of:
(1) a candidate who has completed part of the work of the Fourth Year of
the course.
(2) all ex-servicemen.
The above concessions to an ex-serviceman expire at the beginning of his
fourth calendar year spent in the Engineering Course subsequent to the 31st
December, 1945.
In determining the courses of students allowed under the above regulations
to proceed to subjects of a higher year before having completed the previous year,
the Faculty will not allow the following subjects to be taken unless the corres-
ponding pre-requisites have been passed:-
59
 SUBJECT PRE-REQUISITE

Honours will be the same as that for Pass, but the examination for Honours
will require candidates to attain a higher standard and to show more detailed
knowledge.
EXAMINATIONS
In addition to the examinations specified, other tests may be held during the
year. The standards reached in examinations, tests, and practical and other work
will be taken into account as specified in the details of individual subjects in
determining whether a candidate has reached Pass standard.
FINAL HONOURS
The work of the Fourth Year is divided into Final Honours and Pass
courses in the main subjects, and candidates must choose which course they will
take and enrol accordingly at the beginning of the year. Honours are not awarded
for individual subjects of the groups shown in the table below, the groups as a
whole being assessed for Final Honours, except in the case of the Chemical and
Mechanical Engineering courses where all the work of the Fourth Year will be
taken into account in assessing for Final Honours.
Students who have shown ability to proceed more rapidly than the average
or to cope with more difficult work may, by taking the Final Honours Course,
benefit accordingly. In practical work, projects and designs, they will be expected
to display greater initiative and originality.
Each student must consult the Head of his department and obtain approval
of this proposed course before entering for Final Honours. In general, this approval
may be granted to those who bave passed the Second and Third Years at the first
attempt and obtained Honours in one or two subjects.
