The LSU College of Engineering, Volume II: Growth and Maturity 1909-1970

Dan R. Frost

4.9/5 (30204 ratings)

Description:In 1909 the LSU College of Engineering was a modest program struggling to define itself. In 1970 it was an internationally recognized institution. This fascinating study, the second in an ongoing history of the College, traces that remarkable evolution.Dan R. Frost not only details the internal workings of the College of Engineering and its relationship with LSU as a whole, but places the story in the context of the times. He shows how LSU's engineering faculty, administrators, and students coped with the challenges that confronted the nation, the region, and the state. In the Great Depression, for example, engineers had to face the widespread belief that the machines they designed cost workers badly needed jobs. After both world wars, especially World War II, society debated the moral responsibilities of the profession in the invention and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile, some faculty and students ridiculed and others cheered the College's first female graduate in 1937 -- and, more than thirty years later, its first African American graduate.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
