Abstract :
TODAY´S technical engineering graduate does not have a full appreciation of the extreme gradation of job types in the fields he is qualified to enter. In his academic training, he has intensively studied mathematics, chemistry, physics, electrical theory, mechanics, and a host of allied subjects. However, the multitudinous ways in which industry puts such academic training to work has been given only a minor place in the engineering school curricula. This is indeed unfortunate, because graduate engineers are finding jobs fewer and harder to obtain, and the engineer should not only be equipped with a full set of technical tools and a thorough knowledge of how to use them, but he should also know where and how industry uses the engineer with his tools and knowledge.
