PREFACE Newcastle University OolIege was formally opened as a

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

The government of the University Oollege is vested in the Oouncil of the University of Technology, to whom authority to maintain branches, departments or colleges of the U niversity is given under the Technical Education and New .south Wales University of Technology Act, 1949-1955. Oouncil has established an Advisory Oommittee to assist in the development of the Oollege. The Oommittee 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, Engineering Technology, Oorrunerce and Architecture are set out in this Handbook. (Information covering regulations, by-Jaws, etc., is contained in the Oalendar of the R ew 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 degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of New England are also offered and are given by the Department of Arts which forms part of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Technology.

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

Further information may he obtained from the Registrar, Newcastle University Oollege, l'ig'he's Hill, N.S.W. (Telephone lilA 0466-after 5 p.m., MA 3041).

PART-TIME COCRSES IN THE FACULTIES OF ARCHITECTUUE,

ENGINEERING, SCIEXCE, TECHNOLOGY AND 001DIERCE.

Entrance to the part-time degree or diploma courses may be gained by passing in five approved subjects at one of the following examinations:-

Technical Education Qualifying or Qualifying (Deferred); the New South Wales Leaving Certificate; or the University of Sydney Matriculation.

The five subjects must satisfy the matriculation requirements as set out on pages 14 to 16 for the fuIl-time courses.

Students must pass in all requisite subjects at the one examination period provided that accumulation of subjects from more than one examination is permissible only in the fonowing circumstances:-

(a) Part-time technical college students may add passes in the Technical Education Qualifying examination of one year to passes g'ained at the Qualifying (Deferred) examination at the beginning of the next year;

(b) students w'ho have passed the Leaving Certificate examination as a whole (i.e., have gained at least four "E" passes) may complete any additional subjects at the Qualifying (Deferred) or Matriculation examinations at the commencement of the following year. However, if a student passes in less than four subjects at the Leaving Certificate examination (i.e., he does not gain the Certi:ficate) he will not be credited with these passes but must take all necessary subject's at the Qualifying (Deferred) or Matriculation examinations. Similar conditions apply to students of the Day Matriculation Oourse who sit for the Technical Education Qualifying examinations.

Candidates who fail to complete an requirements in one examination period must present all subjects again the following year. Special concessions are granted to students in Technical Oollege trade courses who are taking courEes in the S('hool of General Studies. These students should consult the Student Oounsellor for further details.

ENROLMENT PROCEDURE.

.All in:tending students sh,)Uld consult the Counsellor, who WIll advIse them co.ncerl:ing th: enrolment procedure. Dates for -enrolment are gIV€Ii l'Il the "List of Principal Dates" (see page 5).

COUNSELLING SERVICE.

Each student of the Oollege is invited to discuss with the C.ounsellor, at ~ny time during his oourse, his methods of study, hIS general adJustment to the course and any other personal factors relating to his progress in his chosen field. An appointment may be arranged personally or by telephone.

20

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

Arts, Commerce, Engineering, or Science are available. ,Degrees are awarded in Honours (First-Class and Second-Class) 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 Counsellor.

The University of Technology administers a number of the diploma courses of the Department of Technical Education. On satisfying the prescribed educational and vocational requirements of these courses, students are awarded the diploma of Associateship of Sydney Technical College (A.S.T.C.). Where both a diploma course and a part-time degree course are conducted in the same subject the courses follow a common syllabus throughout the early stages, and students who are occupationally qualified may in general gain the diploma by completing the first five years (six years in the case of Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy) of the corresponding part-time degree course. The diploma courses administered by the University of Technology at Newcastle are:

Faculty of Science--Applied Chemistry, Physics, Science.

Faculty of Engineering-Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, :M:echanical Engineering.

Faculty of Technology-Chemical Engineering, )Ietallurgy.

F acul ty of Archi tecture-Architecture.

Students completing a diploma course in the Faculties of Science, Engineering or Technology may proceed to the appropriate degree with full credit for their diploma studies. Students in these Faculties who obtained a diploma before the alignment of the diploma and part-time degree courses may proceed to a degree by undertaking further study in a conversion cour'e. Details of conversion courses available at Newcastle are included in the Handbook.

21

Post-graduate Study.

Facilities for post-graduate study are available in most of the schools at the Oollege and several students are already proce:Jing ,t~ higher degrees. Graduate students, including c:rtam A.Sol.O. dIploma holders, wishing to proceed to a lngher degree should consult the Head of the appropriate ~chool. Particulars of ~onditions governing the award of higher degrees are given in the Oalendar of the University.

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

not be offered at Newcastle in 1957.

~tudents. desiring to take a Science course with Physics a~ a maJor subJect should consult the syllabus for the Science courses (pages 29 to 36).

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

develop, design and operate new processes and to improve existing 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 engineering 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 the final years the student is given the opportnnity of electing certain subjects so as to e~able him to extend his knowledge in fields of special interest.

Training of the second type is provided by the courses in Chemical Engineering, details of which are given on pages 37

22

to 45. 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 Ohemical 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.

OOURSE II-APPLIED OHEMISTRY.

This course may be taken at Pass or Honours standard. The Pass course requires full-time attendance at the University for the first and second years and part-time attendance for the third and fourth years. The Honours course requires fulltime attendance for four years, the fourth year being a twoterm year. Both Pass and Honours students will be required to complete satisfactorily a CO]lrse of approved practical training in industry.

SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING. The courses in Ohemical Engineering and Industrial

Ohemistry 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.

OOURSE 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 Honours course over five years.

The course in Ohemical Engineering is closely linked with practical training in industry. Oombined academic study and works practice is undertaken by Pass students in their fourth year, and by Honours students in their fifth year. During these years students attend the University on a part-time basis.

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 dof's not attempt to teach current commercial practice or 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 familiarise 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) : Oourse V, a four years day course; Oourse VB, a part-time course extending over seven years; and Oonversion Oourse V c, to enable Associates of Sydney Technical Oollege in Mechanical Engineering to qualify for the degree.

OOURSE V-MEOHANICAL ENGINEERING.

Oourse 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 elements of the more important mechanical processes in order that he may acquire the know ledg'e' of modern machine tools, foundry practice, forging and welding, necessary for the. successful designer of machinery. This knowledge is further enlarged by

49

three periods in industry between the various academic sessions. The first two periods are spent in engineering workshops and the third in a drawing office.

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 provide~ a training in report-writing and in technical exposition.

SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

In preparation for a career in any branch of electrical engineering the student must acquire a knowledge of the basic sciences of mathematics and physics. Students should realise that electrical engineering, perhaps more than most other branches of engineering, is closely linked with the pure sciences, and 'requires a scienti:fic outlook and approach for a prop~r

understanding of the problems in electrical engineering.

There are three main branches of electrical engineering, viz. :-(a) Power apparatus and systems-concerned mainly with electrical machinery, power generation, transmission and power systems; (b) Utilization and control-concerned with the utilization and control of electric III plant and applied electronics; (c) Communications-concerned with radio and line communications, radar and other navigational aids and television. In the early stages of the course, students will concentrate on acquiring a knowledge of the basic science subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry but will have some introduction to engineering. However, advanced students are given an opportunity to specialise in their field of interest. They may elect, with the approval of the Professor, to study one of the three branches (a) Power Apparatus and Systems, (b) Utilization and Control, or (c) Communications, but will be required to study a common subject of Electrical Engineering. This will cover the portions of electrical engineering such as measurements, electron physics, servomechanisms, electric circuit and field theory and electronics, which are common to all three fields of study.

Each student is required to work on a project under the guidance of members 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 ini.tiative. Each .student will be required to deliver a seminar paper and to prepare a thesis based on the results of the project work.

57

:Five courses are provided leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Pass or Honours), viz.:-

Oourse VI, a four-year day course.

Oourse VIB, a part-time course extending over seven years.

SCHOOL OF MINING ENGINEERING AND APPLIED GEOLOGY.

COURSE 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, mineral dressing, 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.

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, mineral dressing and geology are given their proper place in the course.

The training in mining is aimed at giving 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.

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

ing aetivities make essential a type of training for geologists which embraces basic geological instruction and various features of its application in practice. The structure and syllabus of this course is designed so as to enable the graduates to enter immediately upon various aspects of applied geology and to play an effective part in assoeiated engineering and technological practice.

In the early part of the (!ourse 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

69

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 funtime 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 (Course VIlB) is of six years' duration and is designed for students already engaged on work allied to the subject matter of tIle course.

SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING.

Oivil Engineering is broad in its scope, utilizing otller specialised branches of engineering in planning, co-ordinating and constructing national worb such as water supply and con" servation projects, hydro-electric development, roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, large buildings, and irrigation, sewerage and harbour and river development. The Oivil 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 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, ranging from specialised research and investigations, through routine design and construction work to higher positions which are often largely managerial and organizational in their nature.

The courses in Oivil 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 one of the following options:-

Option I.-Civil 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.

75

Option H.-Oivil Engineering Oonstruction and Administration.

The attention of the student is directed to the problems associated with the actual construction of major civil engineering projects of all types such as the planning of construction methods and the study of administrative, social and economic aspects of major projects.

Option HI.-Surveys and Investigations.

Stress is laid in this option upon the preliminary investigation necessary for large civil engineering projects with special ·study of such subjects as photogrammetry, hydrology, soil

. mechanics and geology.

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

haviour and the experimental analysis of engineering mate:rials and structures is a rapidly expanding branch of applied science. This option deals with the civil engineering aspects of this field.

SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS.

Thc demand for persons trained in the methods of economic anal;vsis is considerable. Moreover, it continues to grow. This is not merely because the study of Economics gives an understanding of the workings of modern society and develops the habit of rigorous analysis, though both these consequences are of considerable general educational value. It is largely because, in recent years, not only the public service but also commercial, financial and industrial concerns <have found it much to their benefit to employ economists in a professional capacity and to encourage their promising young executives to acquire a training in the methods of economic analysis. Both the Pass and Honours curricula of the degree course in Economics are designed to meet these needs by making it possible for a specialist training in Economics to be combined with the study of such liberal disciplines as Philosophy. Histor;v, English and Psychology, and such essential commer<~ial subjects as Accounting, Statistics and Commercial Law.

The study of Economics itself is based upon a firm foundation of economic theory which is built up partly in those courses which are taken by all students reading for the degree of Bachelor of Commerce, and partly in the additional specialist courses. In the selection of these specialist courses as much latitude as possible will be given to the individual student. The student's choice, however, must be made from a list of courses offered by the School of Economics. :M:oreover, it must be approved by the Head of the School.

The application of advanced knowledge in the fields of industry and commerce is a special concern of the University of Technology. In accordance with this, particular emphasis in the teaching of Economics is placed upon the application of the principles of economic analysis to problems of policyboth public and private. Students are encouraged to undertake original investigations as a basis for their compulsory thesis. Moreover, they are required to attend and participate in a seminar in contemporary economic problems. In this way the student acquires an understanding of the methods and limitations of applied economics and receives training in employing the tools of analysis developed by the economic theory.
