Excerpt from The Elective System in Engineering Colleges
Lack of comprehensiveness is easily and effectively guarded against, by demanding for graduation as many courses as a good student can successfully carry in the time usually available for a college course. Indeed, if the natural sequence of studies be rigidly observed, it is advantageous and perfectly feasible to throw down the artificial barriers that have grown up between the different branches of engineering, and thereby allow the students to enter upon a general engineering train ing, without any sacrifice of thorough work, or any friction between various departments. Students can select courses in harmony with their dispositions and abilities; the differentiation will take place naturally. While the degree will not mean that all have taken the same studies, it will mean that every study has been prosecuted with success (which is never the case witha rigid or Optional system). Further, it will mean that the student has received a better training for his life work than can be given under any rigid or optional system. Quality, not quantity, is the distinguishing feature of this plan.
There is no reason whatever why the elective system should be confined to engineering colleges alone among professional institutions. If the sequence of studies, which is to the elective system what the key stone is to an arch, is rigidly observed, the system can with advantage be introduced into Law, Medical, The ological or other professional colleges.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the elective system is a more effective approach to engineering education than the required system, which has been the standard approach for many years. This system would only provide students an organized course of study, but also one with greater depth and comprehensiveness, countering the argument that it would result in a disorganized education. The author maintains that the elective system allows students to match their learning to their interests and strengths as it relates to their chosen field and within the broader context of real-world engineering. This system has been successfully implemented in the Mining School of Michigan, resulting in higher quality work from students, and is adaptable across various professional institutions. Overall, the elective system promotes deeper engagement and better educational outcomes, indicating it is the coming system of education. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
