Engineering
education in in in general
emphasizes practical learning
The products of engineering are sup-

upright engines need to start com-
puters have to compute Engineers
design and and create these and and all the the other technologies we use at home work and play And to do so suc-

best work under the laws of nature
and physics to serve human needs
and wants This instruction is

so important
that strict rules govern what
courses
of study can

programs To offer an “engineering”
degree a a school must demonstrate
