Department of Engineering Professor Walter Buss; Associate Professors H. Paul Huish, E. Smith Murphy; Assistant Professors G. M. Alexander, Jack Atkins*, Head; Newel Cutler, W. Lee Dickson, J. Lamar Jensen. The Department of Engineering offers the first two years of the professional engineering programs for chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, aeronautical, mining, metallurgical, and geological engineering. These two-year curriculums are designed to prepare the engineering student so that he can transfer to the junior year of engineering at the senior colleges of engineering in the State of Utah and also to many other professional engineering colleges and universities. To be able to complete these curriculums in two years, the student will need to possess adequate engineering aptitude and to have completed special entrance requirements. In order to assist the prospective engineering student to meet his goal in this very important and highly professional field of education and training, the Department prescribes the following entrance requirements and regulations: Entrance RequirementsTo be fully matriculated for entrance into the Engineering Department, the student must have satisfactorily met the following entrance requirements: 1. Meet Weber State College entrance requirements. 2. Have satisfactorily completed: a. Plane geometry b. First and second courses in algebra c. Three units of English If the above subjects are taken in high school, the student must pass a Weber State College placement test with a satisfactory score, as specified by the department. If any of the subjects have been taken in a college, a grade of C or better must have been attained within the last two years. Students desiring entrance as majors in the professional engineering curriculums of the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences must file application with both the College and the Division. Students meeting full matriculation for their majors will be notified of their acceptance both to Weber State College and to the Department. They will be counseled and registered by the Division. Since the Division cannot adequately handle all guidance problems for all unmatriculated students applying for registration as majors in the Department, the Division will review all the applications of the unmatriculated applicants. The committee will then admit conditionally as many as it can handle adequately to the Department. They will be registered by the Division as provisional engineering majors. As soon as their *On leave. 174 deficiencies are worked off and if the specified academic standards are met, they will be admitted as fully matriculated majors. Those unmatriculated applicants whom the Division is unable to counsel will be referred to the guidance committee with a statement of deficiencies. When these are removed, subject to satisfactory academic progress, applicants may re-apply for admission to the Engineering Department and will be admitted as fully matriculated engineering majors. Transfer students must meet the matriculation requirements and the specified academic standards of the Department. Academic StandardsTo remain in good standing in the Department, the student must maintain at least the following average grade point on both a cumulative and a quarter basis: First quarter, 1.50; second quarter, 1.75; third quarter, 1.90; fourth and all subsequent quarters, 2.00. Students failing to maintain these standards will be placed on Departmental academic probation. Any student failing to maintain these standards for two successive quarters may be refused further registration in the Department until such time as he demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Division Committee and to the College Guidance Committee that he is likely to profit by such reinstatement.
