Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines college administration practices and explores their influence on engineering education. The author argues that engineering programs, preoccupied with efficiency, have neglected the larger goals of education, viewing them as secondary professional trade skills. Their four-year courses have amounted to advanced vocational training, failing to cultivate young citizens with a well-rounded knowledge. Instead, colleges should emphasize building habits of work and thought, focusing less on direct preparation for the workforce and more on personal development. This fosters good citizenship and produces more capable engineers. By highlighting the tension between efficiency and education, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities of engineering education and its impact on students, engineering programs, and society as a whole.
