(Staff of Civil Engineering and other Departments and visiting lecturers) A course of about it lectures per week, with about is hours per week of laboratory, design and practice classes throughout the year.
SYLLABUS
Section i, comprising about i б lectures and зоо hours of laboratory, design and practice classes, will be taken by all students. In section z, comprising б units each consisting of 24 hours of lectures and tutorial classes, a number of alternative choices of topics will be offered, and students must select topics from these to give the required total prescribed time. The topics offered in Section z will depend on the staff situation, and some may not be given in a particular year. The choice of topics must be approved by the Head of Department.

LABORATORY, DRAWING OFFICE AND CLASSROOM WORK (about зоо hours).
This will usually include the following:
(1) original designs of structures in part or whole;
(z) a scheme of water supply, irrigation, power, sewerage, etc.;
(3) laboratory work including projects;
(4) discussion groups, visits to works in progress and special lectures by visiting speakers;
(5) essays and reports.
No student will be admitted to the Final Examination without evidence of satisfactory laboratory arid drawing olice work, which will be assessed in the deciding of examination results. Records of laboratory and drawing office work must be submitted periodically as required. Additional tests may be set during the year; the results of these may be taken into account in assessing examination results.
