Engineering Education
Most people will admit to-day that civil engineering, like other branches of engineering, belongs to the learned professions, and should require a preliminary technical training corresponding generally to that necessary for the lawyer or the physician. There is much to be said for the old apprentice system of becoming an engineer, or for the method by which a young man enters an engineer's office after an ordinary public school education, and slowly works his way along, studying, as he learns, by doing, the practical details of the profession. Engineering is more—much more—common sense and “gumption” than it is science, and the school cannot make up for a lack of these qualities. Many of our best and most deservedly eminent engineers are men who; by force of character and perseverance, have worked themselves up in this way.
