  • Abstract
    The engineer, trained to evaluate hard facts objectively, is becoming increasingly involved in interpersonal and intersocial situations. As he advances toward managerial responsibilities, he must communicate with and administer personnel. Additionally, society is demanding that the engineer-scientist pause and evaluate the effects of the scientific disciplines upon the world at large. Frequently, the engineer belatedly discovers that he possesses neither the formal training nor the practical insight necessary to approach these problems effectively.
