The engineering curriculum and facilities of Princeton University will be enlarged next fall in order to make it possible hereafter to grant degrees in mechanical, mining, chemical, and electrical engineering, according to the announcement made by Dr. John Grier Hibben, president of the university. At present Princeton has only the undergraduate course leading to the civil engineer diploma, and a two-year graduate course for the electrical engineer degree.
Under the new plans the entrance requirements for students intending to become engineers will remain the same as those for admission to the courses leading to degrees in the arts and sciences. During the first year all engineering students, regardless or which branch they elect later, will pursue the same studies, which correspond to those now given in the freshman year of the civil engineer curriculum They include analytical geometry, calculus, chemistry, engineering drawing English, a foreign language, and hygiene and physical-education.
