Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Become an Engineer Experience proves that a great many young men prepare for the engineering pro fessions who have no engineering ability, and who would do better in some other line. The fact that a boy displays an interest in the working of machinery or in the opera tion of a dynamo does not indicate that he is destined to become an engineer. If the same boy, however, has shown himself apt at mathematics, and is interested in general science, he may safely take up one of the engineering professions, and with hard work will achieve success. The first clew to engineering ability is aptness at mathematics. The foundation of engineering is mathematics, and he who has no ability in this subject will never make a success as an expert engineer.

Book excerpt: 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.

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.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Works of Civil and Military Engineers of America The object of the author has been to brie y portray the lives of pioneer American Engineers, and to collect some of the reminiscences of the earlier works of engineering of the country, with which their names are identified. The description of the works alluded to in this volume is necessarily general in its character, and embraces less of detail than it would were it intended for professional reading alone. Few circumstances have contributed so much to pro mote the commerce and great prosperity of the States as our system of internal improvements, for which we are largely indebted to the skill, foresight, and integrity of the Civil Engineer, and there is no profession to whom, in this country, less public justice has been accorded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering as a Career: A Series of Papers by Eminent Engineers But the outlay of cash and time represents only a small part of the concern of the general public in this matter of engineering education. If the right man gets into the right place his value to a community will be measured not merely by tens of thousands of dollars, but by achievements which rise beyond a money valuation. On the other hand, if attempts at securing an engineering education are misdirected, or the young man is not suited by temperament or other qualities for this work, then the loss to the community may be correspondingly great in depriving it of the services of a man who might be highly proficient in some other line.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses to Engineering Students Just here it is pertinent to mention that the compilation has not by any means been undertaken as a money-making venture - far from it - because the Editors have not only done gratis all the work involved in its preparation, but also have themselves paid the cost of typesetting and providing the plates, in order that the book may be sold to engineering students at the actual cost of paper, press - work, binding, and distribution, the latter being reduced to an absolute minimum by cutting out all possible profit thereon. This has permitted of the book being sold to students of engineering, when ordered in large quantities, at seventy-five cents per copy and to the general public in single copies at one dollar. The Editors were guided in this action by the following reasons: First. They want the book not only to be widely read but also to remain permanently for reference in the libraries of those who read it.

Download or read book The American Engineers in France Classic Reprint written by William Barclay Parsons and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Engineers in France This book is not intended to be a history or detailed account of the work done by American Engineers in France. Their work was so extensive and so varied as to put the writing of its record beyond the powers of one man, for none could know it all. It is hoped that some day the record will be properly set forth in justice to the men and for the honor of the profession, but it will be of necessity the joint product of several collaborating authors. The first contribution that America made to the Allied cause was the raising of nine regiments of engineers, with one of which the author served. It is their work that is the motif of this book. In the writing, it has been necessary to touch on all the fields of engineer activity, because these regiments came in contact with every field, even if they did not invade each one, from constructing ports to digging and holding trenches, in all parts of France from the Atlantic to the Vosges, from the Mediterranean to Flanders. Consequently there results a brief outline of what all engineers did. Perhaps, it may serve to give those who did not go overseas a picture of what is meant by engineering in modern war. There will not be found any description of spectacular or dazzling pieces of construction like so many structures in civil works that arouse admiration. There was none such. Military engineering consists in doing things in the simplest and quickest way, where permanency in character and accuracy in execution yield to the imperious demands for results that are immediately available regardless of all other considerations.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Engineering Register, 1885 Moreover, engineers as a class, are so pre-occupied with the active duties of their profession as to leave them, in many cases, but little time even for placing on record the written or printed description of their works in detail, and much less have they the inclination to dilate upon the comprehensive effects of their labors on the physical and social world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Reminiscences Contributed to Power and American Machinist A word of explanation seems due to both the reader and myself. The idea of writing these reminiscences did not originate with me. I was invited to write them by Mr. F. R. Low, the editor of Power. This invitation I declined, saying that I felt averse to writing a story in which I must be the central figure. Mr. Low replied that I should regard it as a duty I owed to the profession. Engineers demanded to know the origin and early development of the high speed system of steam engineering. I was the only person who could meet this demand; no one else possessed the necessary information. I felt obliged to yield to this view, and can only ask the reader to imagine that I am writing about somebody else.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Practice and Education Taking up next the ports and the waterways, we find that, their boats being small, the works that they needed, and that they therefore executed, would not look large from our modern point of view; but, considering the times, some of them were magnificent pieces of engineering. As to ports, when they could they built them in a river, erecting quays of stone or wood. They took advantage of the shelter afforded by natural features, and built protect ing breakwaters when they needed them. When they could reach dry land to build upon they always did So, but when not, they sunk large stones, or cradles filled with masonry, locating them by means of divers, or else they built dikes, and ran in liquid concrete, which, on solidifying, formed, as it were, a solid rock. They had a great many ports all along the Mediterranean. They had, however, no efficient system of dredging, and their ports were always silting up. Of course, their navigable rivers formed the natural com. Mercial highways, as indeed they did everywhere before the introduction of railroads; hence, they carried out such improvements as they could, and such as were needed at thetime, by removing obstructions from the river beds and by building sea walls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineers' Manual This work originated from the conception that the practicing engineer or engineering student would welcome a consolidation of the formulas and constants for which he is accustomed to Search through several volumes and that the application Of each formula might be explained more concisely than in texts devoted exclusively to the process Of derivation. With this end in view those engineering formulas, mathematical operations and tables Of constants which appear to be most useful are presented in systematic order and in a Size of book designed to fit the pocket. Each formula is preceded by a statement in which its appli cation, the symbology Of the involved physical quantities and definite units of measurement are indicated. It is believed that this method Of presentation increases the speed of selection and understanding of a desired formula and insures greater accuracy Of substitution Since data units of any kind may be converted into specified units by reference to the table of conversion fac tors. The sequence Of the formulas is based generally upon their order Of derivation so that the understanding of a formula may be enlarged by inspection of the formulas which precede it. All catchwords, symbols and formulas are printed in full face type and each formula or group of formulas is numbered to facili tate reference to the text or cross reference between formulas.
