Publisher's Synopsis
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.
