Department of Applied Mechanics (Instructor, Professor Warren). Four years' course of study. A student who wishes to obtain the certificate of Expert in Applied Mechanics must attend the whole course of instruction and pass a satisfactory examination in each subject, unless granted exemption from lectures and instruction, in which case he must pass the examination only. He must also obtain certificates for chemistry, heat, electricity, pneumatics, hydrodynamics, and mathematics, and must also satisfy the examiners as to his knowledge of English and bookkeeping. A student may, however, attend the course of instruction in any subject under applied mechanics, and if he passes a satisfactory examination a trade certificate will be granted. He may take any period that he may require to obtain the necessary certificates for the degree of Industrial Expert, and as soon as he has obtained them the full certificate will be given. The course of instruction is as follows : — Mechanical engineers : First year—first term —■ mathematics, 1, Wednesday; chemistry, 2, Monday and Thursday ; freehand drawing, 1, Friday: second term, the same in continuation. Second year—first term —practical plane geometry, 1, Monday; physics, 2, Tuesday and Friday ; mathematics, 1, Thursday : second term —practical solid geometry, 1, Monday; physics, 2, Tuesday and Friday ; mathematics, 1, Thursday. Third year —first term—mathematics, 1, Monday; mechanical drawing, 2, Wednesday and Friday: second term —trade classes. Fourth year—first and second terms —applied mechanics, 2, Tuesday and Thursday; machine-construction and design, 2, Monday and Wednesday; trade classes: second term—machine-design lecture, 1, Tuesday ; trade classes. If a student wishes to obtain the certificate of expert in any of the under-mentioned mechanical trades under the instructor in applied mechanics, he must attend the following course of instruction and pass a satisfactory examination in each subject, and satisfy the examiners as to his knowledge of English and bookkeeping : —First year—first term —mathematics, 1, Wednesday ; chemistry, 2, Monday and Thursday; freehand drawing, 1, Friday: second term—the same in continuation. Second year—first term—practical plane geometry, 1, Monday; physics, 2, Tuesday and Friday ; mechanical drawing, 1, Wednesday : second term—practical solid geometry, 1, Monday ; physics, 2, Tuesday and Friday; mechanical drawing, 1, Wednesday. Third year—first term—applied mechanics, 2, Tuesday and Thursday; mechanical drawing, 1, Wednesday ; trade class, 2 : second term —the same in continuation, and machine-design, 1. If there is no class for the trade of any student, he is to furnish evidence of workmanship. Students must obtain certificates in mathematics, physics, chemistry of metals, freehand drawing, geometry, and mechanical drawing, as well as for the trade. Mechanical trades referred to above: Agricultural-implement makers, blacksmiths, boilermakers, clock- and watch-makers, gunsmiths, locksmiths, metal-plate workers, mechanicians (fitters and turners), millers and millwrights, iron-, brass-, and type-founders. Students wishing fuller information and advice should apply to the instructor in applied mechanics.
