Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Department of Civil Engineering
It must not be supposed, however, that any of these options fits a student only for the special line of work peculiar to it. On the contrary, the course is arranged on such a broad basis, ' and the training gained in the different studies is such, that a graduate in any Option is qualified to engage in work in either of the other lines, although, of course, to less advantage, at first, tha'n in his chosen branch.
Attention should here be called to the fact that since the intro duction of these options into Course I., the rapid development of sanitary engineering, and the closer relations which have come to exist between the sanitary engineer, the chemist, and the biologist, have led to the adoption of a specific course in Sanitary Engineer ing (course XI.) in which certain purely engineering studies of Course I. Are replaced by work in Chemistry and Biology. As a special circular has been issued relating to this course, it is suffi cient to say here that it is designed for students who have deter mined, from the beginning, not to engage in railroad, bridge, or geodetic work, but who desire to devote themselves to problems involving the health of communities, such as sewerage and water supply.
