Abstract :
An address delivered at the annual joint meeting of the Institute´s New York (N. Y.) Section and the New York Student Branch convention held in the Engineering Societies Building, New York, N.

Of the many fields of activity open to the young electrical engineer, one of the most fascinating and abundant in opportunities for important developments is that of industrial electrochemistry. A survey of the recent advances which have been made in this field shows the striking wealth of new products and new processes, many of these being of great commercial value. For the future, opportunities for the engineer to make new discoveries are even greater.
