ANNOUNCEMENT

OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO BEGIN THE WORK OF THE FRESHMAN YEAR IN FEBRUARY

In order to meet a very real need the College has for the past several years made it possible for a limited number of high school graduates to begin the work of the Freshman year in February. Men entering at that time may, if they so desire, continue the work of the Freshman year during the Summer Session. Those who satisfactorily complete the work of the Spring and Summer Sessions are then eligible for admission to the Sophomore class the following September.

A man who enters in February, therefore, is able to graduate one year earlier than would have been possible if he had waited until the following September to enter. Freshmen continuing throughout the Spring and Summer Sessions receive the same number of credit hours of instruction as do those students who take the regular Freshman program beginning in September. The number of class hours of attendance per week for the February group is somewhat greater than the weekly total for those entering in September. However, experience has shown that the better student is able to complete the work of the Spring and Summer Sessions satisfactorily without suffering any ill effects. As the Summer Session ends about the middle of August, a vacation of approximately one month is available between the closing of the Summer Session and the beginning of classes in September.

High school students who wish to apply for admission to the February sections should submit certificates of high school training immediately after the December 1st preceding the February entrance as the enrollment is definitely limited. These transcript and application forms may be obtained upon request from the College Registrar. While it is understood that a complete secondary school record will usually not be available until the student’s graduation, the partial record will serve for preliminary consideration of the application. The final statement will be obtained by the College. All certificates of high school training must be mailed directly to the Registrar by the principals of the high schools.

Expenses for the February group are the same as for the September matriculates.

Individuals desiring additional information may apply to the Registrar for an appointment.

STAFF

The Library of the College consists of approximately 21,000 volumes of technical reference books and of engineering texts, together with many volumes covering all branches of literature, and bound volumes of the more important engineering periodicals. The College subscribes to a considerable number of engineering periodicals and trade journals which are available on the shelves of the library for student use. In addition the College has an arrangement with the Newark Public Library so that books may upon request be obtained from the city library for reference and general use. The facilities of the Library of the Public Service Corporation are also at the service of the College.

In 1936 Dr. Edward Weston bequeathed to the College his scientific library of approximately 12,000 bound volumes and 65,000 pamphlets, together with his collection of scientific and laboratory apparatus. Arrangements are now in progress to provide adequate facilities for making these collections available to the students and the public.

THE NEWARK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

The Newark College of Engineering instituted in 1919, is a development of the Newark Technical School founded in 1881 by the Board of Trade of Newark. The College is a public institution supported by both the City and the State and is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor of the State of New Jersey. The Governor and the Mayor of Newark are ex-officio members.

The control and supervision of finances of the College is vested in the Board of Regents of the State of New Jersey.

The College is situated in the heart of Newark at High Street and Summit Place. The work of the institution is carried on in four buildings. The recitation halls are adequately equipped modern structures, particularly suited to requirements of an engineering college.

Located in the center of one of the most important industrial sections in the world, the opportunities for direct contact with industry are exceptionally good and co-operative relations have been established with some of the largest and best industries in this section.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Industry is asking today for young men of character and initiative who have been trained to leadership along the lines of commercial production. Men are in great demand who can step into positions of more or less influence and who can handle problems of manufacture as well as problems of design. The work of the production engineer of today is concerned with problems of labor and problems of money as well as with problems having to do with materials.

The Administration of the College believes that success in the field of engineering depends, today, upon certain fundamental factors which are best taught in direct contact with modern industry. The factors are:

• (1) Character
• (2) Initiative
• (3) Hard work
• (4) Understanding human relations
• (5) A knowledge of fundamentals of applied science.

Early contact with the industries enables the student to get not only his academic work but also to learn at first-hand some very important and fundamental things about the operation of modern industry and about the functions of the modern engineer.

Beginning in the year 1940-41 two full semesters of academic work will be given to senior students. The co-operative work for students affected by this arrangement will be increased and it will be given during the summers following the Sophomore and Junior years. This work will take the place of the alternating schedule now in effect for seniors.

The summer cooperative work will have the same purpose as that heretofore given in the Senior year. It will serve as an industrial engineering laboratory where the men will work under commercial conditions, commercial standards and commercial criteria. The work given in industry under the supervision of the College will, however, be limited to those men who have shown maturity, accomplishment, and development in the first two years of their College work. It will be in the nature of a premium given those men who are likely to profit from it, along with other premiums in the way of scholarships, exemptions from examinations, etc. extended to an Honors Option group. It will be optional on the part of the student and limited by the College.

The college is particularly interested in the study of traits and characteristics which in individual cases interfere with the student’s development along industrial and professional lines. The student is given, therefore, a considerable amount of individual study and attention from this particular point of view.

COURSES

The College offers four-year courses in Industrial Chemistry, and in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, with an option in Aeronautical Engineering.

Much of the subject matter in these four courses is common to all of them. These common subjects represent the unity of the basic sciences and techniques of all branches of engineering.

The hours of instruction extend from 9:00 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. Monday to Friday inclusive.

Opportunity is offered to a limited number of high school graduates to enter the College in February as freshmen. Students entering at that time may continue the work of the freshman year throughout the summer. Those who satisfactorily complete the work of the spring and summer terms may be admitted to the sophomore class in September of the same year.

Students other than those referred to in the above paragraph, who are desirous of taking work during the summer, should inquire at the College for information regarding courses to be given.

DEGREES

The Newark College of Engineering reports to and receives the right to grant degrees from the New Jersey State Board of Education.

All candidates for graduation who satisfactorily complete a regular course of study and the examinations required receive the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in the course pursued. The degree is certified by a diploma bearing the seal and signatures of officers of this institution.

The work of the Newark College of Engineering is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and by the American Council on Education.

The courses of this college are registered by The State Education Department of the University of the State of New York.

National professional engineering societies sponsor student branches at the College. The societies represented are:

• American Institute of Chemical Engineers
• American Society of Civil Engineers
• American Institute of Electrical Engineers
• American Society of Mechanical Engineers
• Society for the Advancement of Management.

The specific academic requirements in the four courses are shown on the next following pages for students entering September 1937 and later.

Graduates of 1940 meet similar requirements as stated in earlier issues of this bulletin.

One Credit Hour is, generally, equivalent to one hour of attendance per week in class or lecture exercises, and is equivalent to two hours of attendance per week in laboratory exercises, during a semester.

COMMON AND NON-PROFESSIONAL SUBJECTS

Required in All Courses

[3] EE 71 or EE 75 may be substituted for EE 21.

[4] Required of students entering September, 1938, and later.

[5] Mech 22 or Mech 23 may be substituted for Mech 21.

Mech 24 may be substituted for both Mech 20 and Mech 21.

PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS

While passing marks are required as a minimum in all subjects undertaken, barely passing marks alone do not insure graduation.

To be eligible for graduation, a student is required to attain a grade of A or B in at least 20% of the credit hours allotted in the catalogue to professional and technical subjects.

All graduates of the College who desire to become candidates for the degree C. E., E. E., or M. E., must receive the approval of the faculty at least eighteen months before the granting of the degree.

Each candidate for the above-mentioned degrees shall render every three months to the head of the department of which he is a graduate, a written report on his progress, such report to contain a brief outline of the engineering work performed by the candidate, the names of engineering books and articles read by him, and the list of engineering society meetings which he has attended.

Each candidate shall submit to the faculty, at least four months before the granting of the degree, a satisfactory thesis upon an approved subject.

Each candidate shall appear in person upon the appointed commencement day to receive his degree, unless excused by the faculty.

ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE

A student may enter the College of Engineering as a matriculated student, registered as a candidate for a degree, or as a special student, permitted to attend such courses in the College as he may be qualified to take, but not as a candidate for a degree.

Applicants may submit certificates of secondary school records to the College Registrar after March 15 for the next September opening of College or after December 1 for the next February opening. The forms for certification will be provided on request. While it is understood that a complete secondary school record will not usually be available until later, the partial record will serve for preliminary consideration of the application.

It is required that each applicant present himself for an interview at a time arranged by the Registrar so that the College may evaluate his probable fitness to do engineering college work and subsequently to find employment in the profession. This estimate will be on the basis of physical and emotional fitness and on previous scholastic achievement. In instances where the evidence is not reasonably conclusive, certain tests and examinations may be required. A fee will be charged for this testing service.

Every applicant for entrance into the Freshman Class must furnish to the College a statement of good moral character.

Class room and laboratory facilities, demands of good instruction, and prospects of employment in a particular field limit the number of students to be admitted each year. It was found necessary, in view of these factors, to close the September 1938-39 admissions in Industrial Chemistry on August 15, 1938, and to require that the matriculation fee be paid at that time. There is a possibility that this and other courses may be affected by similar closing dates and that the matriculation fee may be payable on notification by the Registrar prior to the registration dates published in this catalog.

It is requested that all Freshmen complete their registration arrangements for September 1939-40 admissions before Wednesday, September 13, 1939, at twelve noon. An extra registration fee will be required of those who register after that time. Similarly, February admissions will be closed at noon on the Wednesday of registration week, and the extra registration fee will be held effective after that time.

ENTRANCE SUBJECTS

All candidates for matriculation must offer eight entrance units in the following required subjects:

and at least seven entrance units in the following elective subjects:

Academic Subjects

While languages are listed here as electives, applicants are advised that French or German or both are usually required for graduate work.

Commercial and Vocational Subjects[7]

NO C.E.E.B. EQUIVALENTS

Any other credited High School subject, 1 unit.

A unit, as defined by the College Entrance Examination Board, represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year’s work. As a minimum this represents one hundred and twenty sixty-minute hours or their equivalent.

A four-year secondary school curriculum should be regarded as representing not more than sixteen units of work.

The classification for special students is provided in order to make available the privileges of the College to mature men to whom technical instruction in a limited field would be a benefit, but who have neither the need nor the necessary time for a full course of study. Such students are expected to conform to the same standards of attendance and scholarship as are required of matriculated students. Special students may receive a statement of work completed.

Students who wish to transfer from other institutions must present complete credentials including a statement of honorable dismissal to the Registrar. Applications for admission by transfer students will be considered only if the applicant meets all requirements which govern the admission of Freshmen.

A student must satisfy the College of adequate preparation. To do this he may offer either:

(A) Any one of the following examinations covering the subjects required for admission:

1. Those given by the College Entrance Examination Board.[8]

2. The entrance examinations given by the College.

3. The examinations given by the Education Departments of the States of New York and New Jersey to students who have satisfactorily completed the courses in the High Schools;

or

(B) A certificate of graduation from an approved High School showing the time devoted to each subject and the standard attained. Entrance credits will be allowed for those subjects only which are satisfactorily credited on the certificate.

[7] For commercial and vocational subjects, not more than four units, provided that not more than one unit be offered in any one subject.

[8] For information regarding these examinations see the next following pages.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD

Scholarship Examinations and Early Examinations for Admission to Be Held on April 15, 1939

The College Entrance Examination Board will hold examinations at approximately 150 places in the United States on April 15, 1939, for applicants for scholarships and for admission to college. A list of these places will be published about December 15. A detailed announcement regarding the April series of examinations will be ready for distribution on October 1.

Every candidate is required to file an application with the Executive Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117 Street, New York, N. Y., not later than March 25, 1939. A candidate who takes the examinations for admission to college should secure a blank form of application for examination from the College Entrance Examination Board; a candidate who takes them in order to qualify for a scholarship must secure the blank form from the college offering the scholarship. In order to facilitate the making of arrangements for the proper conduct of the examinations, it is desired that all applications be filed as early as possible. The examination fee of ten dollars should accompany the application for the scholarship tests[9] and should be remitted by postal order, express order, or draft on New York to the order of the College Entrance Examination Board.

Applications for examination will be accepted after March 25, 1939, when it is possible to arrange for the examination of the candidates concerned, but only upon payment of five dollars in addition to the regular fee.

When a candidate has failed to obtain the required blank form of application, the regular examination fee will be accepted if it arrives not later than March 25, 1939, and if it be accompanied by a memorandum with the name and address of the candidate, the center at which he will report for examination, the college to which his report is to be sent, and the series of examinations (admission or scholarship) he wishes to take.

No candidate will be admitted to a test late, that is, after the test has begun. Each candidate who is registered for the Scholastic Aptitude Test will receive a booklet containing a specimen test with blank spaces to be filled in by the candidate. In order to secure admission to the test, the candidate must present not only his ticket of admission but also this booklet with the spaces filled in as requested.

Inasmuch as no special preparation will be needed for this series of examinations, detailed information regarding them, with the exception of the practice booklet for the Scholastic Aptitude Test, will not be distributed to candidates.

The College Entrance Examination Board will report to the institution indicated on the candidate’s application the results of his examinations. Candidates should not expect to receive from the Board reports upon their examinations.

[9] The fee for the admission series this year will be five dollars. This series will consist of a form of the Scholastic Aptitude Test containing a verbal and a mathematical section. There will be no separate foreign language and mathematics tests.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD

Examinations of June 17-24, 1939

The College Entrance Examination Board will hold examinations in June 1939 at more than three hundred points in this country and abroad. A list of these places will be published about March 1, 1939. Requests that the examinations be held at particular points should be transmitted to the Executive Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board not later than February 1, 1939.

Detailed definitions of the requirements in all examination subjects are given in a circular of information published annually about December 1. Upon request to the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board a single copy of this document will be sent to any teacher without charge. In general, there will be a charge of thirty cents, which may be remitted in postage.

All candidates wishing to take these examinations should make application by mail to the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, 431 West 117th Street, New York, N. Y. Blank forms for this purpose will be mailed by the Secretary of the Board to any teacher or candidate upon request by mail.

The applications and fees of all candidates who wish to take the examinations in June 1939 should reach the Secretary of the Board not later than the dates specified in the following schedule:

For examination centers

An application which reaches the Secretary later than the scheduled date will be accepted only upon payment of $5 in addition to the regular examination fee of $10.

When a candidate has failed to obtain the required blank form of application, the regular examination fee will be accepted if the fee arrive not later than the date specified above and if it be accompanied by a memorandum with the name and address of the candidate, the exact examination center selected, and a list of the subjects in which the candidate is to take the Board examinations.

When the examination supplies of the local supervisor permit, candidates who have failed to file an application with the Secretary may be admitted, upon payment to the local supervisor of a fee of five dollars in addition to the regular fee, to all examinations except the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Such candidates should present themselves at the beginning of the period of registration. A candidate who registers with the supervisor will receive from him a blank form of application and an identification card which must be filled out and handed to the supervisor for transmission to the Secretary of the Board.

In order to exhibit their tickets of admission, to present their identification cards, and to obtain seats in the examination room, candidates should report for a morning examination at 8:45 and for an afternoon examination at 1:45. An examination will close for candidates admitted late at the same time as for other candidates. The examinations will be held in accordance with the time (Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time) observed in the local schools.

No candidate will be admitted to the Scholastic Aptitude Test late, that is, after the test has begun.

The Scholastic Aptitude Test may be taken upon the completion of the school course or at the end of the third year of secondary school work. Each candidate desiring to take this test, even though he is to take no other examination, must file with the Secretary of the Board the usual application for examination. Every candidate who registers for the test will receive a practice booklet containing a specimen test with blank spaces to be filled in by the candidate. In order to secure admission to the test, the candidate must present not only his ticket of admission but also this booklet with the spaces filled in as requested. If the Scholastic Aptitude Test is taken in connection with other examinations, no additional fee is required; if taken alone, the fee is $10.

EXPENSES

Tuition

To students entering the College for the first time in September of 1939, and later, the tuition will be ninety dollars ($90.00) per semester for residents of the State, and one hundred and eighty dollars ($180.00) per semester for non-residents.

Students who entered the College in February of 1939, or earlier, will be charged a tuition fee of eighty-five dollars ($85.00) per semester, including registration fee, if residing in the State, and one hundred and seventy dollars ($170.00) per semester if non-residents.

Students who leave the institution before any semester is completed are not allowed rebate of tuition for the remaining portion of the semester.

Students who withdraw before completing the first semester must obtain the Dean’s approval in order to avoid being charged for second semester tuition.

Tuition charges are somewhat higher for special programs of study differing from those shown in this bulletin.

Fees

All students entering the College for the first time as candidates for a degree will be charged a matriculation fee of $10.00.

All students entering the College for the first time in September of 1939, and later, are required to pay a registration fee of $5.00 each semester.

A fee of $1.00 per year is charged for the use of a locker.

An annual fee of $10.00 is required of all students to cover cost of expendables in connection with laboratory work, and charges resulting from breakage, loss of college property and library fines. In some professional courses where the cost of expendables is high, the charges may exceed this amount. Liability for these charges is not limited to the stated fee.

Registration is required for each term. Freshmen should be guided by the instructions which are found under “Admission to the College”. Other students should register not later than noon of the Saturday before the beginning of the term. An extra registration fee of $5.00 will be required of those who register late.

A fee of $2.00 is charged for the removal of a “condition” grade; a fee of $1.00 is charged for the removal of an “incomplete” grade. These fees are payable although such grades are removed without re-examinations.

For special examinations, taken at times other than those regularly scheduled, a fee of $2.00 will be charged.

A diploma fee of $10.00 will be required of all candidates for the Bachelor’s Degree; and a fee of $25.00 for the Professional Degree.

In cases requiring special tests in connection with admission to the College a fee of $5.00 will be charged.

Students who expect to earn their expenses in whole or in part by outside work should not undertake a full course. They should discuss their plans with the Dean with the object of making up a schedule of studies to fit their particular cases.

This college is primarily one for students who commute between their homes and the school. Dormitories are not provided. Out-of-town students who wish to room in Newark may apply to the College for aid in locating desirable accommodations.

Students are advised to defer expenditures for textbooks until they are certain that changes are not contemplated or necessary.

The College is not responsible for loss of property by fire or theft in its buildings and grounds.

SCHOLARSHIPS

For young men of ability who need financial assistance there are in all twenty-five scholarships available.

Application should be made for these scholarships to the President of the College not later than September the first.

William F. Hoffman Scholarships

Boy Scout Scholarships

In addition to these general scholarships the Board of Trustees of the College have granted two scholarships, the recipients to be chosen by the Newark Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

Henry J. Ruesch Scholarships

In memory of Henry J. Ruesch two scholarships have been donated, the recipients to be graduates of the Newark Technical School.

Herbert P. Gleason Scholarships

By the will of Herbert P. Gleason seven scholarships are available for young men of character and ability.

STUDENT LIFE

The aim of the College is to train and educate earnest and industrious students along technical lines. This is the first and the supreme duty of the College; all other activities are secondary.

The professional departments expect student participation in the activities of the student branches of the national professional engineering societies.

The Faculty recognizes the importance of social and athletic activities if properly co-ordinated with the more serious work of instruction.

ATHLETICS

In common with some of the better technical institutions in the country the College does not support a varsity football or baseball team. The athletic activities are designed to interest the average student and to develop him rather than to overdevelop a small group.

Varsity competition in basketball, fencing, tennis and track athletics is encouraged, and the College each year puts teams into the field.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

• Professor H. N. Cummings
• Assoc. Prof. W. S. La Londe
• Asst. Prof. O. P. L. Albert
• Asst. Prof. J. M. Robbins
• Asst. Prof. R. W. Van Houten
• Mr. F. A. Busse
• Mr. D. C. Frost
• Mr. W. J. Hoffman

The Civil Engineering course is planned to prepare young men for municipal engineering work, highway work, construction work, or work in the general field of scientific management. Because of the temporary slowing down of work in the civil engineering field, during recent years, streets, highways, water supply and sewage disposal systems, bridges, etc. have become seriously run-down or inadequate. Trained young men will be needed in the near future to take part in the repair, replacement, or enlargement of these necessities. The trend toward large sectional projects, sponsored by the federal government, indicates another field of opportunity for young men trained in civil engineering.

To give students training in the fundamentals of civil engineering, so that they may qualify for employment in any of the lines of work above mentioned, a problem in municipal engineering is used, providing much of the instruction of Junior and Senior years. A topographical survey and map are made of a tract of land containing about a hundred acres. This tract is then subdivided into streets and lots as in a suburban community. The water supply and sewage disposal systems for this tract are designed in connection with the sanitation course. Streets and roads are located and designed as a problem in the highway course. Bridges, culverts, retaining-walls, etc., such as would be required in municipal, or highway work, are designed as part of the work of the senior course in structures.
