Engineering Education and Practice in the United States : Foundations of Our Techno-Economic Future, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Both sides of the engineering equation--education and utilization--are studied in this unique volume.

A brief discussion of the development of engineering in the United States is followed by an examination of the status of engineering today.

A specially developed flow diagram, which defines all aspects of the current engineering community, demonstrates how the profession adapts and responds to change.

The book then takes a critical look at the strengths and weaknesses of current engineering and evaluates major trends in the composition of the engineering work force.

The final section offers a preview of engineering and its environment in the year 2000.

Companion volumes in the Engineering Education and Practice in the United States series listed below discuss specific issues in engineering education.
