Abstract :
IT may seem trite to assert the interdependence of engineering research and engineering education, and no doubt most workers in the vinyard would consider the title of this paper as axiomatic, — the statement of a self-evident fact. In theory the great majority of the members of our engineering faculties, as well as practising engineers, who have given time and thought to the training of young men for the engineering profession, readily subscribe to statements emphasizing the importance of research as a factor in engineering education; but in practise — well, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.”
