ENGINEERING PRACTICES

The subject aims to provide a background of information and familiarity

with the practices and processes associated with engineering works.

Scope: Machine Shop Practice, Electric Wiring, Practical Instrumentation

and Control, Pipe Fitting, Patternmaking, Surveying.

FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT

Elements of Co'sts: The concept of cost; materials, labour, manufacturing

and overhead expenses; traditional and marginal cost structures. c

Cost Control: Method of controlling costs; material and labour control;

budgetary control; methods of recording costs.

Financial Statements: The structure, analysis and interpretation of manufacturing

cost, profit and loss and balance sheets.

Analysis of significant ratios.

GEOLOGY

Geology, the "science of the earth", embraces the study of minerals,

rocks and the structures in which they are found, geornorphology-the

surface shape of the crust and the agencies governing this, and stratigraphy

and palaeontology-the ancient history of the earth and its

inhabitants. The study of the subject involves practical work such as

mapping, excursions, and examination of minerals, rocks and fossils.

Engineering Geology (Geology IE and EG 11) emphasizes those aspects

of the science which affect design, construction, and maintenance of

engineering works, and the materials of the crust which are used in

them.

The evening class in Geology I is suitable for persons wishing to

obtain a general knowledge of the subject as a cultural background.

Exemption from the University subject Geology Part I may be gained

by completing Geology Grade I, Geology IlE, and either Geology IIA

 

HISTORY

A synoptic survey of major developments in Western Civilization from

ancient times to the present, with emphasis on the economic, political

and cultural determinants of history.

HISTORY OF SCIENCE I, 11, I11

The historical development of the applied sciences in a social context

with emphasis on the social role of the scientist. Units: Astronomy,

Biology, Civil Engineering, Chemistry, Dynamics, Physics, Power.

HUMAN RELATIONS IN INDUSTRY

General psychology of the individual: Awareness and interpretation of

environment; motivation and behaviour patterns.

Industrial Psychology: Individual differences; method of measurement;

selection of employees; training; physical conditions of work.

Social Psychology: Psychology of groups; behaviour patterns; group

leadership, morale.
