Excerpt from Engineering as a Vocation The subject matter of this work has been rearranged (with additions) from a number of addresses given before technical schools and asso ciations of engineer assistants. It is published for the information of parents in order that they may act wisely in selecting a career for their sons. Semi-technical periodicals and daily newspapers are bureaus of information consulted frequently by ill-informed parents; and, perhaps, more than half the students now in technical schools are there because of opinions obtained as valuable advice from such sources.

Excerpt from Engineering as a Profession With the advance in science and in the arts our life and the things we do are becoming more and more complex. With the changes that will occur after the close of the war the demands will be much greater and new opportunities will open. To be able to meet the competition in business and industrial life, the young man of the future will need a much better preparation than can be obtained by a high-school course. In a recent article in the Independent, Judge Elbert H. Gary, Chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, makes the follow ing comment on the value of the work of high grade technical and engineering schools.

Excerpt from Engineering as a Vocation "A good engineer must be of inflexible integrity, sober, truthful, accurate, resolute, discreet, of cool and sound judgment, must have command of his temper, must have courage to resist and repel attempts at intimidation, a firmness that is proof against solicitation, flattery or improper bias of any kind, must take an interest in his work, must be energetic, quick to decide, prompt to act, must be fair and impartial as a judge on the bench, must have experience in his work and dealing with men, which implies some maturity of years, must have business habits and knowledge of accounts. Men who combine these qualities are not to be picked up every day. Still, they can be found. But they are greatly in demand and when found they arc worth their price; rather, they are beyond price and their value cannot be estimated by dollars." - Chief Engineer Sterling's Report to the Mississippi Levee Commissioners.

Excerpt from The Engineer His Work and His Education This book is dedicated to those who are considering engineering as a life work. Over fifty thousand stu dents are now studying engineering in colleges and universities of the United States, and about fifteen thousand are each year entering such training courses. They should know something about engineering as a profession and about the college course which helps them to prepare for it. The recent investigation of engineering education carried out with the support of the Carnegie Corporation through the initiative of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Educa tion has disclosed that too frequently the applicant for an engineering course has an erroneous or a very vague notion of the nature of engineering practice.

Excerpt from The Civil Engineer's Pocket-Book Bould experts in engineering complain that they do not find anything of interest in this volume, the writer would merely remind them that it was not his intention that they should. The book has been prepared for young members of the profession and one Of the leading Objects has been to elucidate, in plain English, a few important elementary principles which the savants have envel Oped in such a haze of mystery as to render pursuit hopeless to any but a confirmed mathematician. Comparatively few engineers are good mathematicians; and in the writer's opinion, it is fortunate that such is the case; for nature rarely combines high mathematical talent, with that practical tact, and observation of outward things, so essential to a successful engineer.

Excerpt from Images of Four Kinds of Engineers: June, 1968 In industry and government today we are witnessing a continuous and competitive struggle to attract and retain qualified engineers. An important part of this struggle is concerned with attracting engineers into various sectors of the engineering profession, such as Design and Development Engineer, Field Service Engineer, Production Engineer, or Research Engineer. Although this competition between sectors is most evident in the efforts to hire new college graduates, it also exists when engineers change jobs within a company or change companies.

Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Civil Engineering Could he have prevailed upon himself, in obedience to what appears to be the pervading taste of the moment, to have pursued a different course, he should have held himself not only as recreant to that cause, but as having contributed to weaken the powers of the human mind, by relieving it of the necessity for patient investigation and close reasoning, which alone can give it that vigour which achieves excellence, and commands success in every department of life. United States Military Academy, June 1, 1837. Note. As the author frequently receives letters from persons, about commencing the study of civil engineering, asking his counsel, both as to the best course to be pursued, and the best works to be studied, he would, in this place, respectfully offer the following remarks: A thorough acquaintance with the mathematics, the author considers as indispensable to a successful pursuit of this profession; without this essential ground-work, he confesses, that he is entirely at a loss to conceive how any sound acquirements, other than a few mechanical rules, acquired in the routine of practice, can be made in it. Without wishing to prejudice the works of others, the author would call attention to the very complete Course of Mathematics of Professor Davies, late Professor of Mathematics in the Military Academy, as the best that has fallen under his observation in the English language. The great success of this gentleman as a teacher, is alone a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of his works, in the arrangements of which, moreover, he has followed the best of mathematical schools, - the French. As more immediately connected with the mathematics, and as an indispensable branch of knowledge to the engineer, the author would also mention a Treatise on Topography, by Lieutenant Eastman of the United States Army, now acting as Assistant Teacher of Drawing in the Military Academy, which is now in the hands of the publisher, and may be shortly expected from the press. The merits of this gentleman as a finished draughtsman may lead us to expect an excellent work on this branch. Connected with the Art of Constructions and applied mathematics, the author would mention the name of M. Navier. The European reputation of this eminent savan and engineer, would render eulogium from the author more, if possible, than supererogatory. His name is connected, either as author or editor, with the ablest works on the subject under consideration, that have appeared in France within the last twenty years; and the best counsel that the author could give to every young engineer, is to place in his library every work of science to which M. Navier's name is in any way attached. Of treatises on special branches of civil engineering, the author would mention, Smeaton's works generally. The Articles 'Bridge, Canals, and Carpentry, ' in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, and the Supolements both to it and to the Encyclopedia Britannica. Tredgold on Carpentry. Tredgold on Cast-iron. Transactions of the Society of Civil Engineers. De Pambour on Locomotives. Wood on Rail-roads. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Engineering Science: An Inaugural Lecture on the Training for the Engineering Profession Delivered Before the University, Oct 16, 1908 Similarly the engineering treatment of Dynamics differs considerably from the traditional one, but more mathematics is required for this subject. The aim of the teaching should be to make the student realize fully the motions and forces which he is discussing; for this end examples drawn from moving apparatus, which he can handle, are preferable to the classical examples of imaginary astronomical bodies. The subject may be fully illustrated in the laboratory by teaching the student to make accurate measurements of forces, velocities, and accelerations, using moving carriages and revolving wheels rather than pendulums. The experiments should beon a sufficient scale to make the student realize that he is dealing with real forces and weights, not chemists' balance weights, which are apt to blow away if he sneeze. Models may also be made to illustrate the theories being taught.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
