NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. Newcastle University College was formally opened as a

College of the New South Wales University of Technology on 3rd December, 1951. Prior to this date, Newcastle Technical College had provided training for degrees of the New South Wales University of Technology in Architecture, Engineering and Science.

The government of the University College is vested in the Council of the University of Technology, to whom authority to maintain branches; departments or colleges of the University is given under the Technical Education and New South Wales University of Technology Act, 1949. Council has established an Advisory Committee to assist in the development of the College. The Committee meets at least once each term and includes in its membership prominent citizens of Newcastle and representatives of local educational, industrial and cultural interests.

The more important details of the degree and diploma courses provided in the various branches of Science and Engineering and in Architecture are set out in this Handbook. (Infonnation covering regulations, by-laws, etc., is contained in the Calendar of the New South Wales University of Technology.) These courses are controlled by the respective faculties of the New South Wales University of Technology and are supervised by the professorial staff of the University.

Arts courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts of the University of New England are also offered. The Arts courses, which were introduced in 1954, are given by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Technology in conjunction with the University of New England.

Facilities for post-graduate study are available and students may proceed to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy.

page 4).

COUNSELLING SERVICE. Each student of the Oollege is invited to discuss with the

Oounsellor, at any time during his course, his methods of study, his general adjustment to the course and any other pers~n~l factors relating to his progress in his chosen field. An appomtment may be arranged personally or by telephone.

COURSES OF S11JDY. Undergraduate courses leading to a degree of Bachelor of

Arts Engineering, or Science are available. In addition, a dipl~ma of the Department of Technical Education (A.S.T.O.) is awarded to students in the part- time courses in Architecture, Engineering and Science on satisfying the 'prescribed edu?ational and vocational requirements. OonversIOn courses, whIch enable holders of an A.S.T.O. diploma to obtain a degree of Bachelor of Science or Ba-chelor of Engineering, are also available and are detailed later.

16

Degrees are awarded in Honours (First-Olass and .secondClass) and Pass grades. Unless otherwise stated, the award of Honours at Graduation is determined by the performance of a student in the individual subjects of his course and his work in a special thesis project where such is required.

In certain cases, students taking a full-time degree course may be required to transfer to Sydney for the latter years of the course. For information concerning this requirement. students should consult the Oounsellor.

Post-graduate Study. Facilities for post-graduate study are available in most of

the schools at the Oollege and a numl:er of students are already proceeding to higher degrees. Graduate students, including certain A.S.T.O. diploma holders, wishing to proceed to a higher degree should consult the Head of the appropriate I:Ichool. Particulars of conditions governing the award of higher degrees are given in the Oalendar of the University"

SCHOOL OF APPLIED PHYSICS. The full degree course in Applied Physics (Oourse I) will

not be offered at Newcastle in 1955.

Students desiring to take a Science course with Physics as a major subject should consult t'he syllabus for the General Science courses (pages 23 to 32).

SCHOOL OF APPLIED CHEMISTRY. The needs of the chemical industry for men competent to

develop, design and operate new processes and to improve exist~ ing ones, make essential two different types of training. One need involves a general and fundamental education based on science for those who seek a career in some field in which a sound knowledge of chemistry is important; the other requires a similar training to which is added knowledge of the engineef'ing principles basic to design, construction and operation of plant and equipment.

Training of the first tyPe is provided by the courses in Applied Ohemistry, in which students receive instruction in the principles of inorganic, analytical, organic and physical chemistry, supplemented by instruction in mathematics and physics and other scientific subjects. In his final year the

17

student is given the opportunity of electing certain subjects so as to enable him to extend his knowledge in fields of special interest.'

Training of the second type is provided by the courses in Ohemical Engineering, details of which are given on pages 33 to 41. It should be noted that the work in chemistry, physics and 'mathematics taken in the first year of the full-time course, and' in the first and second years of the part-time course in Applied Ohemistry is identical with that taken in the same years of the courses in Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy. Students in any of these courses may transfer from one. to another without loss of standing up to the end of the first year full-time, or second year part-time.

COURSE II-APPLIED CHEMISTRY. This course extends over four years. The first and fourtlt

years of .the course each require full-time day attendance at the University for 34 weeks. The second and third years are spent in combined academic study and works practice, students attending the University on two half days and two evenings per week over 34 weeks in each year.

A student at the end of the third year may apply to take an Honours degree, the additional work for Honours being taken in the final year.

COURSE IIsB-GENERAL SCIENCE.

The various subjects of the full-time course are divided into sections so that the requirements for a Pass degree may be satisfied in seven years of part-time study, each with a minimum attendance of twelve hours per week. The course is so arranged that students can transfer from full-time to part-time study without loss of status at the end .of any year.

27

It is not proposed to set out all the possible combinations of subjects which could be selected but rather to set down courses leading to a major in the Physical Sciences (Ohemistry, Physics and Mathematics), Geology, and the Biological Sciences (Botany and Zoology). The rules governing sequence of subjects in the full-time course apply also to the part-time course.

In determining a part-time programme, the student is advised to select his sequence of subjects on the basis of the full-time course and to make the necessary transposition into part-time subjects observing the rules as applying to the full-time course.

SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING. The conrses. in Chemical Engineering and Industrial

Chemistry are planned to give students a broad training in the fundamentals of science, chemistry and engineering, and knowledge of the engineering principles basic to design, construction and operation of plant and equipment. The work in chemistry, physics and mathematics is the same as that given in the Applied Ohemistry and the Metallurgy courses in the first year of the full-time courses and in the first and second years of the part-time courses. In subsequent years students in the School, of Ohemical Engineering take, in addition to the fundamental studies, courses in mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering and industrial chemistry.

COURSE III-OHEMICAL ENGINEERING. This course may be taken at Pass or Honours standard. The

Pass course extends over four years of 34 weeks each and the additional work for Honours may be taken in one full-time year or two part-time years as set out in Oourse IIIBl.

The course in Ohemical Engineering is closely linked with practical training in industry. It is arranged so that the second and third years are spent in combined academic study and works practice. During these years students attend the University on two half days and two evenings per week.

SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.

The courses in Mechanical Engineering are planned to provide a sufficient foundation of basic science applied to engineering methods and techniques to prepare the graduate to enter any industry dealing with heat, power, materials and machinery. The course does not attempt to teach current commercial practice nor specialised knowledge of the product of anyone industry. On the contrary, undergraduates are expected to obtain their practical experience by direct service in industry.

In general, instruction by lectures is paralleled by laboratory work in which the student is given opportunity, not only to faniiliarise himself with materials, engines and machinery, but also to develop his ability to apply theory to the analysis of their characteristics.

Three courses are provided leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Pass or Honours): Course V, a four years day course; Course VB, a part-time course extending over seven years; and Conversion Course V 0, to enable Associates of Sydney Technical College in Mechanical Engineering to qualify for the degree.

COURSE V-MEOHANIOAL ENGINEERING.

Course V is of four years' duration. The first three years of the course each require attendance at the University for twentyfour weeks. For the remainder of each of these years the student gains practical experience in industry. The fourth year requires full-time day attendance for thirty-four weeks.

During the first two years the fundamental subjects which are the basis of the student's later professional work are studied, viz., mathematics, chemistry, physics and applied mechanics, a thorough knowledge of which is essential in all branches of mechanical engineering. The student is also trained in elementsl

of the more important mechanical processes in order that he may acquire the knowledge of modern machine tools, foundry practice, forging and welding, necessary for the successful designer of machinery. This knowledge is further enlarged by five month periods in industry between the various academic sessions.

45

The professional work of the third and fourth years includes the study of the mechanics of fluids and of rigid and elastic bodies with applications to design. The study of thermodynamics is applied to heat engineering, and to the analysis and design of power plants, turbines, steam and internal combustion engines, industrial heating, and to refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Engineering processes are considered in relation to design for production; and work on metrology, gauges and fixtures, tool design, tolerances and inspection is introduced.

The professional elective subjects in the fourth year permit students to choose a broad phase of mechanical engineering as a special study. In this way the student learns to use libraries and technical journals, and is made to realise how fully the knowledge he has gained during his course is used in engineering development and practice. The preparation of a thesis provides a training in report-writing and in technical exposition.

student's individual needs. However, the early years of the course allow no choice, thus ensuring that all students receive a grounding in the fundamentals of circuit work, electric power work and electronics.

Further, the subject Industrial Electronics and Oontrol is -compulsory for all students. This subject is a link between -electronics and electric power work covering motor controls, .servomechanisms, special machines such as amplidynes, electronic devices such as polyphase mercury arc rectifiers, and -other 'common subjects such as regulators, speed control, welding control, etc.

Each student is required to work on a project under the ,guidance of a member of the lecturing staff. Generally, the project will involve the design and construction of experimental ,apparatus together with laboratory tests. Where possible, the projects will be related to the research programme of the School and will be designed to develop the student's initiative. Each student will be required to deliver a seminar paper and to prepare a thesis based on the results of the project work.

SCHOOL OF MINING ENGINEERING AND APPLIED GEOLOGY.

OOURSE VII-MINING ENGINEERING.

Technical developments in the mining industry are such as to demand increasing engineering proficiency from various grades of mining officials. These developments require that those who are being trained for the management of the industry shall receive firstly, a sound training in mechanical, electrical and some branches of civil engineering, and secondly, the application of these developments to the mining of coal and other minerals. A knowledge of the basic subjects, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., is also essential in order that such auxiliary subjects as coal cleaning, preparation of minerals, gases and atmospheric conditions in mines, etc., may be properly understood. Hence in the construction of the Mining Engineering course the object has been to produce mining engineers having a sound training in engineering subjects and well versed in the application of engineering principles in the mining industry.

60

In the first two years of the course, the subjects taught are the basic science subjects, together with the primary engineering subjects, and an introduction to mining technology. Mining subjects proper are introduced in the second year, and are developed in the third and fourth years of the course, concurrently with the engineering subjects. Subjects which are important to mining engineers, such as surveying, preparation of minerals and geology are given their proper place in the course.

The training in mllllllg is aimed at glVlllg students a thorough foundation in such subjects as mine ventilation; mine drainage; mine lighting; winding, haulage and transport; these subjects being common to practically all branches of mining work. The specialised application of these subjects to coal and metalliferous mining is dealt with in the final year of the course. Thus, although the course is designed to give students a sound training in mining', it also permits them to specialise in either coal or metalliferous mining.

Specialisation is taken a stage further in the fourth year of the course by the provision of elective subjects for the preparation of theses. Preparatory work for the theses will commence during the practical training period following the third year of academic studies and will be continued by reading in the first and second terms of the fourth year. The whole of the third term in the fourth year will be spent on further practical investigations and in the preparation of theses.

The students in the Mining Engineering course are required to spend five months of each year in obtaining practical experience at mines, this training being based on a prepared programme designed to provide a comprehensive training in many aspects of mining work. This training is important in its relation to the academic training and in relation to the Mines Department's requirements of pra~tical training for candidates for Statutory Oertificates of Oompetency.

OOURSE VIlA-APPLIED GEOLOGY. The development of natural resources and the allied engineer

ing activities make essential a type of training for geologists which embraces basic geological inst,ruction and various features of its application in practice. The structure and syllabus

63

of this course is designed so as to enable the graduates to enter immediately upon various aspects of applied geology and to play and effective part in associated engineering practice.

In the early part of the course students receive instruction in the allied fundamental sciences and basic engineering subjects as well as introductory geology. Later geological instruction is developed and emphasis is placed progressively on engineering application and on economic aspects of geology.

The applied nature of the course is indicated by the inclusion of descriptive geometry, drawing and design, strength of materials, civil and mining engineering practice, soil mechanics, etc. Detailed treatment is given to various aspects of applied geology-engineering geology, mining geology, photogeology and geochemistry. Surveying and geophysics are also included.

Attendance at the University for students taking the fulltime course is for two terms during the first three years and for three terms during the fourth year. All students will be required to complete satisfactorily a course of approved practical training during vacations. The part-time course (Oourse VIIB) is of six years duration and is designed for students already engaged on work allied to the subject matter of the course.

SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. Civil Engineering is broad in its scope, utilizing other

'specialised branches of engineering in planning, co-ordinating :and constructing national works such as water supply and conservation projects, hydro-electric development, roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, large buildings, and irrigation, sewerage and harbour and river development. The Civil Engineer adapts the forces of nature for the use and convenience of mankind. His academic training must include a study of science and of ·engineering practice. He must combine this with experience

69

and judgment and the knowledge and personality necessary to control large organisations of workers. This profession offers to a young man a considerable variety of types of work, rangingfrom specialised research and investigations, through routinedesign and construction work to higher positions which areoften largely managerial and organizational in their nature.

The courses in Civil Engineering are arranged so that all students receive training in the basic principles of mathematics. and science, and in the fundamentals of engineering applications of such work to surveying, hydraulics, foundation engineering, structural design, and constructional work in the· field. Ancillary subjects from other branches of engineering' are also included, such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering chemistry and the like. Satisfactory practical experience in industry, concurrent with academic training, is a feature of all courses, and detailed reports of such experience must be submitted by all degree students.

Provision is made in the final year for the student to carry out further work adapted to his special interests by electing oneof the following options:-

Option I.-Oivil Engineering Design. Emphasis is given to the design aspects of civil engineering

works which follow upon the initial survey and investigation and precede the actual construction of the project.

Option II.-Oivil Engineering Oonstruction and Administration.

The attention of the student is directed to the problems. associated with the actual construction of major civil engine.ering projects of all types such as the planning of conL

struction methods and the study of administrative, social and~ economic aspects of major projects.

Option IlL-Surveys and Investigations. Stress is laid in this option upon the preliminary investiga

tion necessary for large civil engineering projects with special study of such subjects as photogrammetry, hydrology, soiT mechanics and geology.

Option IV.-Materials. The study of both the fundamentals of material be

haviour and the experimental analysis of engineering mate-

70

"

r I I

rials and structures is a rapidly expanding branch of applied science. This option deals with the civil engineering aspects ·of this field.

COURSES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND.

A degree of Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) is awarded in two grades (Pass and Honours) and what is required of Honours students differs substantially after the first year from what is required of Pass students. The option to undertake a Pass or an Honours course is exercised by the student generally at the beginning of the second academic year. The present regulations require that to secure a Pass B.A. students must have to their credit nine "qualifying courses" obtained in not less than three years; to secure a B.A. with Honours students are required to qualify in eight courses normally taken over a four-year period. A "qualifying course" is a course in which a student has passed and which meets certain requirements regarding "groups" and "sequences". Attendance at lectures is compulsory and satisfactory completion of class work (essays, exercises, etc.), IS a pre-requisite for candidature at the annual examinations.

SELECTION OF COURSES. In 1955 the following courses preparatory to a degree in

Arts will be offered at Newcastle if students are forthcoming:-

GROUP I. Language and Literature.

English I and II. French I and II. German I and II. Latin I.

GROUP II.

Historical, Mental and Social Science, History I and II. Philosophy I and II. Psychology I and II. Economics I and II. Education I.

GROUP III.

Mathematics I and II. Geography I and II.

83

To qualify for a degree, courses must be chosen from at least two of the three groups and the nine courses selected by a Pass candidate must include:-

(i) A sequence of three courses in each of three subjects; or (ii) a sequence of three courses in each of two subjects,

a sequence of two courses in a third subject and one single course; or

(iii) a seguence of three courses in one subject and a sequence of two courses in each of three others.

Oandidates are not permitted to take the courses in Education until they have completed two other qualifying courses including either Philosophy I or Psychology I. Education I may be counted as the second of a sequence of two courses of which the first is either Philosophy I or Psychology I. Graduates in other Faculties who desire to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Arts (either Pass or Honours) must complete at least seven courses in Arts chosen in accordance with the regulations after special approval has been granted in each individual case.

Oandidates desiring to graduate with Honours are subject to slightly different regulations as to the choice of the eight qualifying courses, which are to be taken in a minimum period of four years.

Students are reminded that the by-laws regarding graduation in Arts, whether at Pass or Honours level, are determined by the University of New England, and that any changes or final decisions in matters of interpretation are the prerogative of the New England authorities.

The Annual Examinations (both Pass and Honours) are held in Newcastle during November and December each year. Notice of intention to sit must be given on the prescribed form and accompanied by the examination fee of £3 during the month of July.

Enrolments for 1955 classes commence on 14th February, 1955. Olasses for Arts subjects in 1955 will commence during the first week in March. Full-time second year students who are complying with National Service requirements must inform the Head of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences prior to 14th February. All problems of courses, including Honours sequences, must be discussed with the Head of the appropriate School prior to the opening of the academic year.
