Kbpobt of Pkofesboe in Charge. Attendance.—During the year 17(i individual students attended lectures, the hour-attend-ances per week amounting to 1.1 20. Twenty-five students wen: hiking courses for the Universitj Degree or for the Associateship of the School, and II College students took lectures in electricity and magnetism. Thirty-two lectures were delivered, and instruction was given in drawing and designing, experimental work in the laboratories, and in field work, for 150 hours per week, the total instruc-tion-hours pei- week amounting to 183. Results of Examinations. —The number of students who finally qualified in 11109 was above the average. Fourteen men obtained either the University Degree or the Associateship of the School of Engineering, and have finished their courses here. ' . University. At the University examinations of 1908, 7 students passed the final examination for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering, ■'! obtaining the degree iii Mechanical and 4 in Electrical Engineering. In addition to these. 2 students passed the firs! part of the Second Examination, 2 the second part of the First Examination, I the first pari of the First Examination for the degree, and 2 passed the Engineering Entrance Examination. Associateship. —Al the Associateship Examinations of 1909, 5 students passed the Final Examination for the Associateship in Mechanical Engineering, and 2 thai for the Associateship in Civil Engineering. The passes in the subjects of the Associateship course taughf iii the School of Engineering were: In Physics (l!i (electricity and magnetism), 5; freehand mechanical drawing, 1; decriptive geometry (advanoed), I ; steam-engine (elementary), 1 ; steam-engine (intermediate), 4: steam-engine (advanoed), 0 : applied mechanics, -"i: mechanics of machinery, 5; hydraulics and pneumatics, 6; mechanical drawing (second year), 5; strength of materials (elementary), 6; strength of materials (intermediate), 6; strength of materials (advanced), 5; theory of workshop practice, 4: surveying (elementary), 1 : principles of civil engineering, 2: electrical engineering (intermediate), 6. Associateship students taking subjects outside their regular course attended lectures, passed examinations, and obtained certificates in surveying (elementary), 2; surveying (advanced).
