Abstract :
AS THE SCHOOL YEAR draws to a close a fact to be faced by most engineering graduates is that of military service. For some, R.O.T.C. graduates for example, it is a relatively simple problem because the course is pretty clear, and is charted, for the most part, by the military authorities. In these times, however, almost all other engineering graduates who are physically acceptable (assuming there is no mental disability among college graduates—especially engineering graduates) have to consider the relationship of a period of military service to post-college plans and engineering career development.
