Q

The primary objective of _________ is not merely to convey technical knowledge to students,
but rather to provide them with the training necessary to comprehend and investigate the
circumstances surrounding a problem

A

technical education

31
Q

Includes those callings which involve in their
practice high ideals, great energy,
distinguished ability, correct and logical
thought by means of which effective results
are obtained, through efficient application of
technical knowledge and proper organization

A

37
Q

Special knowledge and a special experience in a limited field of engineering, unless accompanied by a broad consideration and a

BIAS OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE

38
Q

should give the engineer his most useful and exact
knowledge, provided such experience is properly considered and
digested
