1. H. S. SENIOR ANNUAL 1931 I3 Engineering fLeonard A. Bergmani Thomas Tredgold, the famous English En- gineer, defined Engineering as, the art of directing the great powers of nature for the service of manf' His- tory tells us it is one of the oldest of the profes- sions. During the past half century Engineer- ing has developed in so many fields of endeavor that it is necessary for one who follows the pro- fession to specialize and thereby become more . efficient in some partic- ular branch of its five general divisions: Military, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical. Military Engineering relates to selection of sites and plans for defense or offense, con- struction and repair of fortifications, com- munication lines, military roads and bridges, execution of harbor and river improvements. Civil Engineering deals with works per- taining to transportation such as railroads, roads and canals, to water supply, irrigation, drainage and sewerage, river and harbor im- provements, bridges, buildings and dams. Mechanical Engineering pertains to ma- chine design, steam and automotive power, heating and ventilating, aeronautics and pneu- matics. Electrical Engineering has to do with the design, construction and application of all classes of electrical machinery and apparatus, power houses, lighting systems, electrified railways, telephone, telegraph and radio communication. Chemical Engineering plays an important part in modern industry. Most large corpo- rations maintain large and costly laboratories for analysis and control of various processes to insure uniformity and quality of their prod- uct. Many chemists are engaged in research, improving old and developing new methods of manufacturing commodities. A student, with a desire to follow engineer- ing as a profession, should be possessed of good common sense with an aptitude in math- ematics. He should be optimistic and perse- vering, a keen observer and a seeker of facts. The necessary training may be acquired by actual practice, by home study or attending higher institutions of learning. The latter, if possible of attainment, is recommended. Beside the personal feeling toward some particular school, it is highly desirable to choose one having large and modern labora- lories and equipment. Location in an indus- trial community has advantages in that the student may see many notable engineering projects not only completed but in the pro- cess of development. It also affords more facilities for part time employment. Engineers generally secure well paid em- ployment in some chosen field. It is estimat- ed that 95 percent of the engineers of this country are 'on regular salary and render service to others through private concerns or governmental functions. As a class they may not become wealthy in a material way, but find deep satisfaction in accomplishment.
