(See Agriculture 5a.) Staff 38. Irrigation Practice. A study of sources and conveyance of irrigation water, farm pumping plants, water measurements, preparation of land for irrigation, soil properties, and plant characteristics in relation to irrigation alkali, duty of water, and irrigation efficiencies. Three lectures, and one laboratory period a week. Four quarter hours. Autumn. Staff 40. Introductory Lectures. Orientation course designed for engineers. Specialists are invited in to discuss with students the opportunities and qualifications in their various fields. Visual education and other technical information supplement these discussions. One lecture a week. One-half quarter hour. Autumn. (See Orientation 40.) Stevenson 41. Introductory Lectures. A continuation of Engineering 40. One lecture a week. One-half quarter hour. Winter. (See Orientation 41.) Stevenson CIVILIAN PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM Ground School. The ground school course consists of the following four divisions, with the number of clock hours for each as indicated: meteorology, 24 clock hours; navigation, 24 clock hours; civil air regulations, 18 clock hours; and flight operations, 6 clock hours. The course is usually completed in a twelve-week period. Five quarter hours. Flight Training. The flight training course consists of actual flying experience, both dual and solo, leading to a private pilot's license. This experience deals with the study of taxiing, take-offs and landings, coordination exercises, stalls, spins, figure-eights, and other precision maneuvers. The training must be taken concurrently with the ground school. One quarter hour. 4a. Surveying. A course planned to give practice in handling surveying instruments, leveling, traversing, mapping practice for various kinds of surveys, retracing of section lines and public land surveys. Office practice is included in this course. Designed for foresters. One lecture and two field periods a week. Three quarter hours. Autumn. Littlefield 5. Surveying. A continuation of Engineering 4. One lecture and one laboratory period a week. The laboratory work consists of office practice, dealing with the problems of land-areas, cross-sectioning, earth work volumes, polar-planimeter operation, and map projection.
