Professional activities subcommittee reports for 1946 on organization of engineering profession

A strong tide of interest is running in engineering circles concerning the economic and public status of the profession. Many engineers, particularly our younger men, are outspoken in the opinion that the agencies which have served us so well in advancing the science and art of engineering are ill-adapted to cope with the problems and interests we face in common. The subcommittee on professional activities, appointed in 1945 by the Institute´s committee on planning and co-ordination, presents here an extensive sampling of opinion among electrical engineers as to the best means of remedying this situation.
