Excerpt from Principles of Industrial Engineering
The subject matter Of this book is substantially the text of a series of lectures prepared under the auspices of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Columbia Uni versity, for delivery to senior students. As here presented, it takes the form evolved from three years' experience in the class-room at Columbia, somewhat modified from the manner of the lecture platform, and adapted to meet the needs Of a more general study as discovered by contact with non-technical audiences at Harvard and the New York University, and by many inquiries addressed to the Editorial Department Of The Engineering Magazine.
