Engineering Education for a Rapidly Changing Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
GALCIT, the Graduate Aeronautical Laboratories at the California Institute of Technology, is a system now 50 years old, with which I have been associated for nearly 40 years. Conceived by R. A. Millikan as part of his general scheme to construct a small, very high level technological school, GALCIT was built up by Theodore von Karman (in the spirit of Felix Klein) to serve as a center for the fusion of science and technology. GALCIT has had an influence on engineering education in the U.S. out of proportion to its size and I will use the experience there as an example from which to extract some principles of engineering education for a rapidly changing technology.
