Engineering Department General Information.

Equipment.-The equipment of the Engineering Depart-. ment is extensive, and students have every opportunity of acquiring a sound technical training. The facilities comprise well-appointed workshops for imparting instruction in Machine Shop Practice, Blacksmithing, Pattern Making and Moulding, Heat Treatment of Steel, Motor Mechanics, Electric Wiring and Armature Winding in an Engineering Laboratory equipped with machinery and apparatus; Chemistry and Science Labora-tory; Drawing Office and Classrooms.

Syllabus of Work in each Subject.-The syllabus of the work covered in each class is , in general, that issued by the Education Department of Victoria. These syllabuses may be consulted at the College, and the respective instructors will always be glad to give particulars about the scope of the work which is covered in the class to which a particular syllabus refers.

Attendance.-Students are required to be punctual and regular in attendance at the classes. Irregularity in attendance or neglect of work will be regarded as a breach of discipline, and will be treated accordingly.

Class W ork.-Students must procure the necessary text books and note books as soon as possible after enrolment, separate note books being used for each subject. Titles of suitable text books will be found on the notice boards, or may be obtained on application to the instructors. In the lecture classes, students are expected to take down their notes in a systematic manner in note books specially kept for that purpose, and which can be purchased at the college bookstall. By so doing students have a permanent record of the work which has been gone through during the session, and which can be revised as the session advances.

Home Work.-Work, which must be carefully prepared at home, is set by the instructors. Such work is not optional, but forms a necessary part of the instruction in each subject, and it is not possible to make satisfactory progress if it be neglected.

Classes in Engineering Drawing.-Students must provide themselves with the following instruments:-Set of Drawing Instruments of good quality, Engineer's Scale or Set of Scales, Set Squares, Protractor, India-rubber, Drawing-pins, Hard and Soft Lead Pencils.

28

Classes in Electric Wiring.- Every student must provide himself with the following tools for his own use, -viz.:-A two-pound Soldering Iron, one pair of Pliers suitable for wiring work, a strong Knife , one six-inch Screw-driver, one ten-inch second-cut half round File, and one round File.

Classes in Machine Shop Practice and Motor Mechanics. -Every student must provide himself with a suit of overalls and a set of small tools for his own use. An order for the tools can be obtained w hen the student joins the class. A locker in the workshop is allotted to each student for his own use during the session, but the st1:1dent must provide a padlock and also a duplicate key, which he must hand to the instructor in the workshup. At the end of the session, unless the student is continuing his work in the following year, he must remove everything from the locker. ' Class work must not be taken away from the workshop. At the end of the ses'sion, and after the final examination. students in Machine Shop Practice can purchase any of their work which they wish to retain, by paying for the cost of the material.

Prizes.-Students have the opportunity of competing for prizes awarded by engineering firms and others for the best work done in certain classes.

DAY CLASSES.

Diploma Courses.

Engineering day classes were inaugurated by the Council of the College in February, 1915, in order to provide facilities for students to go through and acquire a complete technical training in some branch of engineering in the daytime, either before or after they go into an engineering works.

Such a training is intended to prepare students for the higher positions in the different branches of engineering work, and involves three full years' work at the school, together with at least two years on approved engineering work. Workshop practice and experimental laboratory work form an essential part of the year's work in each course.

Diplomas conferring the Associateship of the College are granted in:-

A UTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING.

CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

MARINE ENGINEERING.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.

29

Admission to Diploma Courses.-Before a student can be admitted to the first year of any of the courses he must:-

( a) Have passed the Intermediate Technical Examination of the Education Department; or

Have passed the Intermediate Examination of the University of Melbourne.

( b) Be over 15 years of age at the date of the commencer ment of the session.

Intending students who cannot produce evidence of having reached the above entrance standards will be called upon to pass an entrance examination conducted by the College, which will be held prior to the commencement of the session, in the subjects of:-

English, Elementary Mathematics, Elementary Physics, Freehand Drawing. fuanting of a Diploma.-To obtain a diploma in any

branch of the work a student must complete the three years' course of work in accordance with the conditions prescribed, and also produce evidence that he has liad at least two years' experience on approved engineering work.

Necessary Attendances.-The necessary number of attendances during each year of any course shall mean at least 75 per cent. of the attendances at each individual class which forms part of the course, and at least 80 per cent. of the aggregate attendances at all classes of the course.

Satisfactory Work.-The performance of satisfactory work in any course shall mean proper diligence and progress in all work, such as classwork, homework, laboratory work, field work, drawing office work, workshop practice, and examinations, of every class which forms part of that course. Students may be called upon at any time_ by the instructors to produce work done during the session. ··

Engineering Excursions.-Visits of inspection, under the charge of one or more instructors, to engineering works in the district take place during each session. Extended excursions to engineering works in other parts of Ausr tralia are also arranged from time to time during the longer vacations. Students taking part may be called upon subse~ quently to write a description, or give an account from an engineering standpoint, of what they have seen.

Examinations.-Progress examinations are held by the College in all subjects as the work of the session advances. These examinations take place at about the end of every period of thirteen weeks, and the marks obtained by students go to improve the aggregate marks awarded to them at the final examinations in November and December. These final

30

examinations are conducted annually by the Education Depart-ment of Victoria, and "Pass" and "Pass Credit" Certificates are issued to successful students. In one of two subjects of the diploma courses, in which examinations are not held by the Education Department, the final examinations are conducted and certificates issued upon similar lines by the College.

Students Proceeding to the University.-The Swin-burne Technical College is recognised by the University of Melbourne, under the latter's regulation dealing with the recognition of Technical Colleges. Owing to this recogni-tion, Students who have completed a Diploma Course in Engineering at the College, and have fulfilled the require-ments for matriculation and who desire to enter the University receive exemption from a large portion of the work for the Engineering Degrees of the University. Details may be found in the University publications, and full particulars as to the exemptions granted may be obtained on application at the College.

Notes for Students.

Courses of W ork.-In order to become proficient in any branch of engineering, and to be able to deal successfully with the many complicated problems which continually arise, a sound technical training is necessary. In view of this, the various engineering subjects have been arranged in courses, so that as a student progresses in the study of such subjects as Applied Mechanics, Electrical Technology, Heat Engines, and Machine Shop Practice, his mathematical and scientific training also advances, which enables him to follow and appreciate the reasoning necessary to a thorough understand-ing of the different branches of engineering work. It is anti-cipated that students will, in their own interests, follow the courses of work set out, and thus avail themselves of such systematic instruction. Where any of the courses shown do not suit the branch of work in which a student is engaged, the grouping of the subjects can be modified.

Admission of Students.-Students must be over 15 years of age at the date of the commencement of the session, and must have at least a knowledge of Elementary Mathematics and English. Students who have passed through a Junior Technical School will find themselves in a good position to continue their technical work, and should make rapid progress, as the various courses are arranged to begin at the point where a student leaves off in the Junior Technical School. The attention of intending students is particularly called to the fact that, although the session is divided into three terms, the work of every class begins once a year only, namely, at the commencement of the session, usually about the middle of February. Unless a student joins a class then, he is handi,:, capped for the remainder of the year, owing to his having missed some of the earlier work. It is only in special cases that a student will be allowed to join a class at any other time.

Admission to Advanced Classes.-A student will not be allowed to proceed with the work of a class higher than that of the first grade unless he has already passed the examination in the previous grade of that subject, or can produce evidence that he is in a position to benefit by the advanced work.

Admission to Trade Classes.-Apprentices and those engaged in the trade have the first right of entry to classes in their trade, and others will not be admitted except under very special circumstances and at special fees.

Examinations.-Progress examinations are held by the College in all subjects as the work of the session advances .

39

These examinations take place at about the end of every period of thirteen weeks, and the marks obtained by students go to improve the aggregate marks awarded to them at the final examinations in November and December. These final examinations are conducted annually by the Education De-partment of Victoria, and "Pass" and "Pass Credit" Certifi-cates are issued to successful students. In one of two subjects of the diploma courses, in which examinations are not held by the Education Department, the final examinations are con-ducted and certificates issued upon similar lines by the College.
