Riassunto

Excerpt from Notes on Mechanical Drawing, Graphic Statics, Machine Design, and Kinematics

The author has often felt that one Of the weak points in many educational courses, particularly in Engineering, lies In the lack of correlation and cohesion of the various studies. In the commendable zeal with which a particular subject is elaborated, sight is often lost of its relative importance, its relation to other subjects, and its position in the general scheme; to the very great detriment of the student.

His time and energies have been so engrossed and concentrated on each subject that eventually he finds his mind stored with an array of hazy and sometimes almost contradictory facts, that are difficult to remember or apply simply because they were never tied together properly nor their inter-relations made clear. Largely for that reason, the attempt is here made to take four closely connected branches of study, any one of which by itself could well be, and usually is, made the basis of an entire volume; and to present them together under one cover in order that time may be saved in avoiding a certain amount of repetition which always occurs when they are taken up separately, and especially that the student may see each in its true relation to the others, have his interest aroused thereby, and his work made pleasanter, and more profitable.
