Synopsis

This book explores the development of engineering schools within the US from their origins to the early 20th century. It reveals that the US's industrial revolution was hindered by a lack of skilled engineers, which was only overcome by the formation of engineering schools. Many of the early engineering graduates played key roles in building the infrastructure that supported the country's economic growth. The work draws on extensive research and provides a detailed account of the evolution of engineering education during a pivotal period in American history.
