TEMPORARY BUILDINGS
READY BY NEXT WEEK
A Ii of the temporary buildings at the Memorial
University of Newfoundland will be ready for occupancy by the end of next week.
Mr. T.C. Noel, Director of Planning and Works,
said that the buildings, with the exception of the
library extension, will be completed by this afternoon.
The extension to the library should bo completed
next week.
The Graphics Laboratory, located between the
Arts-Administration Building and the Thomson Student Centre, will be completely furnished with television equipment by the end of next week.
The complex of buildings between the Arts-
Education and the Chemistry-Physics Buildings are
linked by tunnel to the main system. One building has
been reserved for the School of Medicine and contains
offices, laboratories, an animal house and reading
room.
Another building has been set aside for the
Junior Division. This building contains the faculty
offices, a general office, a seminar room, and twenty
classrooms each seating a maximum of 35 students.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology
offices, laboratories and classrooms will be housed in
a separate building. The computer sciences centre will
also be located in a separate building.
The temporary buildings were started in the
spring of this year and were built to provide extra
space for the University until the buildings are completed on the North Campus.
MUN ENGINEERING FACULTY
TO USE COOPERATIVE PROGRAMME
The new Faculty of Engineering at the Memorial
University of Newfoundland will conduct its degree
programme along the same lines as that being carried
out in the University of Waterloo, Ontario.
Dr. A. A. Bruneau, Dean of Engineering, said
that Memorial will use the Cooperative Programme —
a system whereby students intersperse their classroom
terms with terms in industry.
Dean Bruneau explained that a student studying
under this Cooperative Programme will reap the benefit of a basic grounding in fundamental engineering
coupled with experience in industry. The student who
is without industrial experience frequently finds it
difficult to adjust when starting out in industry. The
application of his classroom theories is never simple
because of the many other factors operating in
industry today.
At the University of Waterloo there are eight
academic terms and six work terms. Each term runs
about four months. The positions filled by students
in these work terms are not simply the traditional
summer jobs, but rather regular jobs provided by
industries, government agencies and business organizations in which students rotate a d thereby gain
valuable practical experience.
One of the requirements for this type of plan
is that industry must not simply create positions to
help the University. The industry must demand that
the student make a contribution in his job. When the
student returns to the classroom, he has a better
understanding of what he has learned \n the classroom
