During the whole course approximately two hours weekly
will be devoted to learning the names of parts of ships,
engines, buildings and machines.
Arithmetic:- Problems will be set connecting the work in the draw-
ing office with weights of simple parts, arcas, volume s
etc. Throughout the course time will be allotted to the
practice of accurate working of the simple rules.
Mathematics:- The maximum use will be made of graphs in teaching
Algebra.
Geometrical problems will be worked out practically on
the drawing board before theoretical instruction is
given.
Engineering Science: No theoretical instructi on will be given
except where the theoretical proof can be directly tested
experimentally. The main objects of this course will be:-
(i)
To develop extreme care and accuracy of
observati on.
(2) To encourage powers of deduction.
(3) To teach sufficient physics and mechanics to
Technical Drawing:
enable the student to benefit by the proposed
"part time" classes.
In itself this will be a practical subject,
as after the first six months the student will be
concerned with concrete examples throughout his course.
It is hoped that as he progresses he will be able to
make wooden patterns from his own drawings. It is
impossible at this stage to lay down a definite syllabus,
but as a suggestion the distribution of time as shown in
Table III is submitted as an ideal at which to aim.
