Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Add word "Figure" to number in List of Figures

[spindal]

I am writing my thesis in LaTex and the thesis formatting requires the word "Figure" and "Table" to be present in each line

i.e.
Figure 2.1: Test Problem 1 ...................................... 34
Figure 2.2: Test Problem 2 ...................................... 35

Currently, I have
2.1 Test Problem 1 ...................................... 34
2.2 Test Problem 2 ...................................... 35

Using the following code:

Code: Select all

% LIST OF FIGURES
%
% Single-space list of figures, add it to the table of contents.
\def\listoffigures{\@restonecolfalse
  \if@twocolumn\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn\fi

\begin{center}
    {\large \bfseries  \listfigurename}
\end{center}

   \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}
   {\ssp\@starttoc{lof}}\if@restonecol
    \twocolumn\fi}

\def\l@figure{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{2.3em}}

% LIST OF TABLES
%
\def\listoftables{\@restonecolfalse
  \if@twocolumn\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn\fi
   \@starttoc{lot}\if@restonecol
  \twocolumn\fi}
\def\listoftables{\@restonecolfalse
  \if@twocolumn\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn\fi

\begin{center}
    {\large \bfseries  \listtablename}
\end{center}

   \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listtablename}
   {\ssp\@starttoc{lot}}\if@restonecol
  \twocolumn\fi}


\let\l@table\l@figure

I have limited knowledge when it come to LaTex formatting. The code above is part of larger cls file past down through my department and I'm not sure how to edit it to get what I want.

-any ideas?
