Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of Civil and Mechanical Engineers The following paper was written, at the suggestion of friends in England, in the hope that the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers might be induced to allow it to be read at a meeting of the Institution, and so give an opportunity for the subject of j;he education of Engineers to be discussed by the Members of the Institution. I have been disappointed in that hope, as the following letter will show: Dear Sir, I am directed by the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers to tender their best thanks for the sub mission to them of the original communication by Mr. Henry Dyer, of Japan, 'On the Education of Civil and Mechanical Engineers.' This paper is not, in the judgment of the Council, one that can be regarded as suitable for reading and discussion at an ordinary meeting of the members. The Institution, as an Institution, is not an educational body, nor has it any power to grant what are ordinarily understood as degrees. Neither has it authority to interfere with, or regulate the practice of the profession. The qualifications for admission into the several ranks of this Institution, are settled by the bye-laws, and the Council feel that they would not be warranted under existing circumstances in extending their action beyond the provisions of the Royal Charter of Incorporation and the bye-laws founded thereon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literature for Engineers: An Address Delivered Before the Colleges of Civil and Mechanical Engineering In any case, we are not here for the arraignment of deficiencies, which, if they exist, are due to the general status of technical education throughout the country. But if, overtly or indirectly, we must mor alize for a moment, let us at all events discuss no form of self-seeking, cultural or otherwise. Far be it from a teacher of literature, of the most social of all the arts, to say to any man: 'go to; read now this, that, and the other literary masterpiece - read Milton, read Shakespeare - simply for your own sake, ' for the sake of what is called self-improvement. If true culture is essentially and inherently social, if it is inherently self-denying, sympathetic, we had better realize this essential and inherent nature of the thing at the outset.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.
