Roles of Engineers
Designer, Supervisor, Constructor, Operator, Investigator, Advisor, Sales
30
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
technical education
31
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
ETHICAL AND PERSONAL RELATIONS
32
The successful resolution of any problem requires both
thorough knowledge and the proper application of all of the
components on which the solution is dependent.
FACTORS OF SUCCESS
33
A man may be useless in an engineering position, even if his
character, judgment, efficiency, and understanding of men are
highly developed
OPINIONS OF THE ENGINEERING PROFESSION
34
The fundamental principles of the sciences on which practice
is based must be acquired, but these principles are usually
further investigated and their relationship to practical things
more fully determined when the engineer comes to apply
them to the actual work of design and construction
JUDGEMENT
35
It is vital that the individual be able properly to estimate his
own abilities in order that he may miss no opportunity which
he is justified in undertaking
self-knowledge
36
That all men are to a greater or less degree biased in their judgment of
themselves and of others and of all problems and conditions with which
they come in contact is established by common experience
PERSONAL BIAS
37
Special knowledge and a special experience in a limited field of engineering, unless accompanied by a broad consideration and a
considerable knowledge of collateral subjects, are apt to involve a prejudice or bias in favor of the of such special means to the solution of all problems to which such means can be applied
BIAS OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE
38
should give the engineer his most useful and exact
knowledge, provided such experience is properly considered and
digested
Personal Experience
39
The normal conditions which obtain in any locality must of necessity
modify the successful solution of every local engineering problem
Bias of local experience
40
No matter how conscientious a man may be or how much he may
endeavor to arrive at judgments which are thoroughly sound, he is
constantly in danger of not attaining the results desired if his __________ are in any way involved.
