  • Abstract
    The objectives of an engineering education can be realized fully only when it is recognized that these objectives, in common with those of all education, are not merely the development of technical abilities, but the development of the man mentally, morally, and physically. Through his scientific and technological contributions, the engineer ably fulfills his duty as an engineer, but he must be trained to assume a further responsibility — his responsibility to the society of which he is a member.
