' ON THE JOB By Pnoivlzsson R. XV. SELVIUGE There is a popular notion that when one graduates from thc engineering school he is a com Jetent en rineer but it takes the vounfr raduate only a short time to find l E- 1 . ra S . that there is little 'ustification for this idea. He soon discovers that his colle 'e . 233- trainin ' furnished him onlv the fundamental tools of his irofession. Practice on the S . l job is necessary to develop judgment and skill in their use. It has been said that an engineci- receives his training in the school, but his education on the job. Tl1c1'e is much justification in this statement if' we mean by education the ability to appraise a situation correctly and to do the right thing at the right time. The young engineer who starts out with definite plans for developing this ability is well on the road to SIICCCSS. Careful observation is one of the most helpful means of doing this. Every task in which human labor is involved, however menial, is worthy of his attention with the view of improving the method of doing l.he job. Nearly every day offers an opportunity to learn something worth while, and the young engineer who daily enters in his diary the things that he learns that day will soon find that many things of value pass by thc average person unnoticed. In a short time he will find, also, that he has increased his powers ol' careful observa- tion and has accumulated a store of valuable ideas which will enable him to give wise judgments in future situations.

C ill l wwf l rl? l EQ w l Editorials ll l MODERN TRENDS IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION l DEAN E. J. MeCAUs'rLAND ' The modified curricula increasing the number of hours per semester appears N to he quite satisfactory to all concerned. Students do not modify their natural industry to meet changes in the number of credit hours scheduled. In other words, Q the gait of the average student is fixed by quite other considerations than the number of hours in the schedule. At any rate, the Faculty is not dissatisfied with the greater number of hours required per semester. In spite of the general industrial depression attendance is normal and 'the M qualifications of the students quite up to past standards. No special difficulty was ll 71 experienced last spring in finding places for our gmxduates, in spite of the business l and industrial depression at that time well under way and threatening even more depressed levels. During thc coming season however, the selection of candidates hy the repre- N' scntatives of the industries will be more restricted and it is likely that only the IJ better men will find it easy to secure satisfactory employment. The fact must be il recognized that we are entering upon an era of more intensive competition for l engineering trained minds. The period of rapid growth in industrial development fi is showing a marked recession which is likely to be felt for some time to come. That ill our naturzll resources have limitations is only now heginning to he recognized and ll the resumption and expansion of industrial development in other parts of the world ll is forcing us into a most intense competition with trained groups of men in other nzitions. This brings me to the kernel oi' this message. The College of Engineering pre- ? sumahly is established to train men in modern scientific methods as applied to the organization, extension and development of industry, transportation and commerce in its broadest meaning. They cannot be so trained unless each individual is not only willing but keenly anxious to do his part in the process. Therefore, I appeal to every student to widen his horizon, to study the history of the development of industry. to inform himself' on the present industrial situations of the world and 'to shape his actions so as to tfike advantage of probable trends and to guide his ambitions so that he may serve himself first and by so serving. serve his country X and the world. l l T Page 55 if' sC.lJ7f V I 91352-5f lCY T T 'inw' TW if , I +3512 igiig -1 T7 + : i 'l DI
