XXXVI. This Ordinance shall come into operation at the beginning of the first academical year after the date on which it is approved by His Majesty in Council. ENGINEERING. Regulations for Degrees in Science in Engineering as contained in Ordinance No. 133 (St Andrews No. 20) of the Commissioners under the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, as modified by the University Court in virtue of the powers conferred on them by that Ordinance. I. Two degrees in Science in Engineering may be conferred by the University of St Andrews-viz., Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Doctor of Science in Engineering. II. Every Candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering must pass the Preliminary Examination prescribed by the Regulations for Degrees in Arts; and the conditions with respect thereto shall be applicable in all respects to Engineering except as follows: (1) French or German may be substituted for Latin or Greek; (2) Mathematics shall be passed on the higher standard; (3) a degree in Arts (not being a degree honoris causâ tantum) in any of the Universities of the United Kingdom, or in any colonial or foreign University specially recognised for the purpose by the University Court, after consultation with the Senatus Academicus, shall exempt from the Preliminary Examination; (4) the Preliminary Examination must be passed before the candidate presents himself for any part of the First Science Examination, but not necessarily before the candidate enters on his curriculum. Note.-All students entering upon a course of study for Graduation in Science (Engineering) must obtain from the Scottish Universities Entrance Board a certificate that they are qualified for admission. Certificates on which the students base their claim for admission should be sent (along with the fee) to the Secretary, Scottish Universities Entrance Board, 81 North Street, St Andrews, from whom form of application may be obtained. III. (1) Candidates must, in the course of not less than three academical years, attend at least the thirteen courses of instruction prescribed under Section VII. of this Ordinance. (2) It shall be the duty of the Senatus to determine from time to time which of the said courses shall be full and which shall be half courses respectively, and also to determine the number of meetings of which such full courses and half courses respectively shall consist, and to report its determination to the University Court for its approval. IV. (1) Five full courses or their equivalent (counting two half courses as one full course) must be taken in the University of St Andrews, and must include the necessary courses in Engineering, except where the University Court, after consultation with the Senatus, sees fit to allow one of the courses in Engineering to be taken outside the University, under the provisions of the immediately succeeding sub-section. (2) The remainder of the said courses may be taken in other Universities or Institutions approved by the University Court, or under teachers recognised by the University Court for purposes of graduation in Science in Engineering. V. (1) It shall be the duty of the Professors and Lecturers annually, at the end of each winter session, to submit to the Senatus a scheme specifying what proportion of the courses shall be devoted to lectures, practical demonstrations, examinations, and tutorial work respectively. The Senatus shall transmit such scheme, with such observations as it may think fit to make thereon, to the University Court for its approval. (2) It shall be the duty of the Professors and Lecturers annually, at the end of each winter session, to submit to the Faculty of Science for its consideration a syllabus of the subjects and books proposed for the work of their classes during the next academical year. The Faculty of Science shall transmit such syllabus, with such observations as it may think fit to make thereon, to the Senatus for its approval. VI. The provisions of the preceding section shall not apply to approved institutions or recognised teachers outside St Andrews or Dundee; but the University Court shall not grant or continue recognition to any institutions or teachers unless it shall be satisfied that their courses of instruction are equivalent to the courses sanctioned in the University of St Andrews. VII. Candidates are required to have given satisfactory attendance in the following subjects of study: 1, 2, 3. Not less than three courses of lectures in Pure and Applied Mathematics. 4, 5. Two full courses of lectures in Engineering (each 6. Three short lecture courses, each of about 30 lectures (b) Higher Theory of Structures and of Elas- (c) Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machinery. (e) (f) Electrical Engineering. 7, 8. Either (a) Two courses of Engineering Laboratory work, or (b) One and a half courses of Engineering Laboratory work and a short course of Electrical Laboratory work. 9, 10. At least two courses of Drawing and Design. 11, 12, 13. Three lecture courses to be chosen from the following: (a) Physics (Natural Philosophy). (b) Electrical Engineering. (c) Chemistry. (d) Geology. The lecture courses in Physics and in Chemistry to be accompanied by corresponding short laboratory courses of about 50 hours each. The courses in Electrical Engineering and Geology to be accompanied by full courses of practical work. Candidates who take 6 (a) are required to take at least one course of field work before taking their final examination. VIII. (1) There shall be a First Science Examination in the three following subjects-viz., 1, Mathematics; 2, Natural Philosophy; 3, Chemistry; and the examinations in Natural Philosophy and in Chemistry shall, so far as possible, be practical. The examination in Geometrical Drawing may be taken either at the First or at the Final Science Examination. (2) The examination in Mathematics shall include the higher branches of Mathematics specified under Mathematics in the section immediately preceding; but it shall be optional to Candidates to pass the same examination in this subject as that required for the ordinary degree of Master of Arts; provided that in that case they shall be required, before graduation, to pass an examination in the remainder of the subject. (3) Candidates may present themselves in any one or more of the subjects of the First Science Examination at any examination held after they have attended a full course in the subject or subjects professed. IX. (1) There shall be a Final Science Examination in the following subjects: (a) General Engineering, including— (1) Surveying; Descriptive Engineering; Graphic Statics; Hydraulics. (2) Theory of Structures and Machines; Strength of Materials; Thermodynamics. : (b) Three of the following: (1) Civil Engineering-Higher Descriptive Civil Engineering and Surveying.

X. A Candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering shall not be deemed to have attended a class as part of the curriculum for that degree who does not present a certificate bearing not only that he has given regular attendance, but also that he has duly performed the work of the class. XI. It shall be competent to the Examiners for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering to report that a candidate has passed with special distinction in one or more of the subjects professed by him; and in such a case a diploma shall be given setting forth the subjects in respect of which the degree has been granted, and the subject or subjects in which special distinction has been obtained. XII. It shall be competent to the University Court of the University of St Andrews to modify from time to time the provisions as to the curriculum herein before contained, in case such modification shall be rendered desirable by the development of Engineering Science, or in consequence of further provisions having been made within or without the University for the study of any branch of the said Science: Provided that in no case shall the number of full courses of study required be less than the number required for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pure Science, as specified in the Regulations for Degrees in Science.
