  • Abstract
    In this address,1 republished here at the request of the Institute´s committee on education, the author constructively looks ahead, discussing frankly the probable status of engineering education (and the engineering profession) in the post-depression era and suggesting adjustments in curricula to suit new conditions. He says ``there is no reason to predict a surplus of engineers when there is no diminution in the need for engineering services??man´s wants are illimitable, if engineers have but the discernment to discover and the ingenuity to satisfy them.´´
