Is Four Enough?

Mr. Whittier’s talk at the all-engineering-so—
cicty assembly last Friday brings to the fore a
question which has been and, no doubt, will con-
tinue to be the subject of much discussion in en-
gineering circles. That question is whether four
years is sufficient time to properly absorb all
basic engineering subjects and to fit a man for
professional work.

Various proposals have been made for a five
year. seven year or even eight year course with
or Without the elimination of the bachelor’s de-
gree and the substitution of a master’s degree
or doctor’s degree. The answer of the average
student to these proposals is that it would cost
too much in time and money. A considerable pro—
portion of the undergraduates find it a nip and
tuck battle to keep the budget balanced while
coping with a four-year course and have upon
graduation a sizeable debt as well as a diploma.

Completion of formal undergraduate work
