3 Courses Swell
Night Program
Three new courses have been
added to the Jaysee night school
schedule. They are photography,
industrial engineering, and busi-
ness English.
The photography course involves
a practical approach to the general
field of photography. Some of the
topics covered in the course are
history of photography, the e 1 e-
ments of photography including
light and chemicals, the study of
different types of cameras, and the
use, care and repair of equipment.
The business English course is
a practical course designed to give
the business administration stu-
dents special training in business
and professional terminology,
spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary-
building, grammar and sentence
structure as applied to the writing
of effective business letters.
Industrial engineering is a
course in the study of the techni-
ques involved in industrial engi-
neering, which includes a study of
the principles involved in making
time and motion studies, line pro-
duction, the placement of equip-
ment, and other factors designed
to promote greater efficiency of
industrial personnel.
None of these three courses is
transferable to most colleges, but
they may be counted towards a
San Antonio Junior College degree.
Each has three lecture hours per
week and a credit value of three
semester hours.
