Letters to the editor

I am writing in response to the letter of Mr. Adolph Ackerman, as published in your March 1981 issue. In his letter, Mr. Ackerman makes a number of statements which bear some comment. He describes. an Engineer, as: (1) “Every man who practices the art of engineering…” (2) “A professional…carrying high responsibility with independence of choice in applying science for the benefit of mankind.”
