...departments of study in the School are as follows: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electric Communication Engineering, Civil Engineering, Sanitary and Municipal Engineering, Sanitary Chemistry, Mining, Metallurgy, and Industrial Chemistry. In each of these departments four-year undergraduate programs are offered which lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science, and also graduate study and research leading to the higher degree of Master of Science (or an equivalent degree), or the degree of Doctor of Science...
...rearrangement of the schedule of the third year and a utilization of one full vacation and part of another, students who elect this work secure the full amount of-class room work and laboratory instruction of a four-year program in addition to at least six months of outside experience, without increasing the time required to obtain a degree. The work of the first, second and fourth years is arranged substantially as at present in order that students in the school may retain during three years and part of another all the advantages of life in college surroundings. The outside...
...Engineering School, including the telephone laboratory and other electrical laboratories in Pierce Hall and the radio engineering apparatus of the Cruft High Tension Electrical Laboratory. The program includes all the courses on electrical engineering and theory, electrical machinery, and transmission and distribution of power, which are required for a four-year program in electrical engineering, and in addition includes some of the graduate work in that department. There will also be considerable work in physics, mathematics, and mathematical physics...
...elective system was made practically necessary by the huge expansion of the field of knowledge which took place in the nineteenth century. It was no longer possible to make any pretense that a four-year curriculum could supply the elixir of all learning "in a pint pot." A certain range of choice was inevitable. The wide expansion of the system, however, which opened up virtually all subjects to the student's choice, was the result of a theory, an educational dogma. This dogma was of Teutonic origin-a result of the "scientific culture" of modern Germany. Method was exalted above...
...drift away from the individual course as a unit in education appears in a recent action of the governing body of the Harvard Medical School. In the future, general examinations of a scope much broader than heretofore will be given at the end of the four-year course. The individual courses in the Medical School have always been longer than those at the College; the examinations have been fewer, and more men of high standing have been excused from taking them by reason of a high standard during the year. The step is therefore not as radical...
