Past section meetings

The Mexico Section held a meeting at the American Club, City of Mexico, on August 2, 1910. The subject of the meeting was a paper by Professor Francisco Uriquidi, of the National School of Mines, entitled “Engineering Education.” Professor Uriquidi described in detail the course designed by him for the electrical engineering students in the Mexican National School of Engineers. The proposed course is based upon Professor Karapetoff´s concentric method, great stress being laid upon the practical work done by the students, both in the shops of the schools, and in the various electrical industries in the vicinity. In every case the theoretical investigation of a subject is undertaken after the student has become thoroughly familiar with the manner in which the principles involved are put into use in modern commercial practice.
