original thought and be the product of the individual submitting it. Quotations
and references with proper credit may be used. In general, the thesis should
be of such a nature that it will be of value to the engineering profession.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DOCTOR OF ENGINEERING DEGREE

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is conferred upon a candidate who,
after completing not less than three years of graduate work devoted to the
study of a special field of knowledge, presents a satisfactory dissertation and
passes a comprehensive examination, thus qualifying for recognition as a scholar
of high attainments in his chosen province.

covering a specified time, but the attainment, through long study, of inde-
pendent and comprehensive scholarship in a special field. Such scholarship
should be shown by a thorough acquaintance with present knowledge in a
particular field of learning and a marked capacity for research.
