The role of physics in engineering education

R. J. Seeger

Since the organization of the American Society for Engineering Education in 1893, there have been many studies of engineering curricula, such as the Mann Report (Carnegie Bulletin No. 11), the Wickenden Report of 1923 (said to be “monumental”), the “Aims and Scope of Engineering Curricula” (1940), “Engineering Education after the War” (1944), and Jackson’s “Present Status and Trends of Engineering Education in the United States” (1939, essentially a “supplement to the Wickenden Report”).
