Abstract :
Most engineers are agreed that the engineering profession is not sufficiently active in civic and governmental affairs; that engineers are not sufficiently insistent in voicing their opinions to public officials who administer affairs vital to the profession. With a view to the future, an eminent educator here prescribes one form of engineering education intended to build engineers interested in assuming their places as effective citizens in our democratic government.
