What reading level is Addresses to Engineering Students book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ira. O. Baker.
Before Civil Engineers' Club of University of Illinois March 28, 1887.
A recent discussion of civil engineering education in a prominent engineering journal by eminent professors and practicing engineers, suggested this subject. That discussion had reference mainly to the facilities which should be possessed by an institution professing to edu- cate civil engineers ; this article will have reference to how you as stu- dents of civil engineering may make the most of the opportunit...ies offered by this institution.
First let me remind you of the three elements of a true education, development, training, and information. By the first I mean the capa- city for abstract conception and reasoning; by the second, the forma- tion of correct habits of thought and methods of reasoning, and the training of the hand to execute and the eye to see; and by the third, the acquisition of the thoughts and experiences of other men, and of the truths of nature. The development of the mental faculties is by far the most important, since it alone confers that "power which masters all it touches, which can adapt old forms to new uses, or create new and better means of reaching old ends ;" and without this power the engineer can not hope to practice his profession with any chance of success.
