Engineering Science: An Inaugural Lecture on the Training for the Engineering Profession Delivered Before the University, Oct 16, 1908 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Engineering Science: An Inaugural Lecture on the Training for the Engineering Profession Delivered Before the University, Oct 16, 1908
Similarly the engineering treatment of Dynamics differs considerably from the traditional one, but more mathematics is required for this subject. The aim of the teaching should be to make the student realize fully the motions and forces which he is discussing; for this end examples drawn from moving apparatus, which he can handle, are preferable to the classical examples of imaginary astronomical bodies. The subject may be fully illustrated in the laboratory by teaching the student to make accurate measurements of forces, velocities, and accelerations, using moving carriages and revolving wheels rather than pendulums. The experiments should beon a sufficient scale to make the student realize that he is dealing with real forces and weights, not chemists' balance weights, which are apt to blow away if he sneeze. Models may also be made to illustrate the theories being taught.'
