Newark College of Engineering
Newark College of Engineering -- Curricula -- Catalogs
The College is situated in the heart of Newark at High Street and
Summit Place. The work of the institution is carried on in four
buildings. The recitation halls are adequately equipped modern
structures, particularly suited to requirements of an engineering
college.
Located in the center of one of the most important industrial sections
in the world, the opportunities for direct contact with industry are
exceptionally good and co-operative relations have been established
with some of the largest and best industries in this section.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Industry is asking today for young men of character and initiative
who have been trained to leadership along the lines of commercial
production. Men are in great demand who can step into positions of more
or less influence and who can handle problems of manufacture as well
as problems of design. The work of the production engineer of today is
concerned with problems of labor and problems of money as well as with
problems having to do with materials.
The Administration of the College believes that success in the field of
engineering depends, today, upon certain fundamental factors which are
best taught in direct contact with modern industry. The factors are:
(1) Character
(2) Initiative
(3) Hard work
(4) Understanding human relations
(5) A knowledge of fundamentals of applied science.
Early contact with the industries enables the student to get not only
his academic work but also to learn at first-hand some very important
and fundamental things about the operation of modern industry and about
the functions of the modern engineer.
Beginning in the year 1940-41 two full semesters of academic work
will be given to senior students. The co-operative work for students
affected by this arrangement will be increased and it will be given
during the summers following the Sophomore and Junior years. This work
will take the place of the alternating schedule now in effect for
seniors.
The summer cooperative work will have the same purpose as that
heretofore given in the Senior year. It will serve as an industrial
engineering laboratory where the men will work under commercial
conditions, commercial standards and commercial criteria. The work
given in industry under the supervision of the College will, however,
be limited to those men who have shown maturity, accomplishment, and
development in the first two years of their College work. It will be in
the nature of a premium given those men who are likely to profit from
it, along with other premiums in the way of scholarships, exemptions
from examinations, etc. extended to an Honors Option group. It will be
optional on the part of the student and limited by the College.
