Engineering specifications

The preparation of engineering specifications is a matter which the engineering graduate is likely to meet early in his experience. Therefore a knowledge of the subject and its relation to business law is important. Yet there is probably no subject which appeals less to the interest of the undergraduate student, or is more generally regarded as dry and tiresome. But modern theories of engineering education recognize clearly that a purely technical preparation cannot fit the engineer for the greatest sphere of usefulness, or the one which he should properly occupy.
