Synopsis

Excerpt from Mechanics Problems

There is an opinion among engineers that too often students are not well grounded in the practical problems of Mechanics; that they know more of theory and mathematical deductions than of practical applications. A prominent educator has recently said to me, in regard to the teaching of Mechanics, "I am convinced that it is to be done more thoroughly in the future than in the past;" and it will be done, he believes, by sticking close to elementary principles as developed by well-chosen practical problems. Furthermore, he adds, "it will have to be recognized that all an engineering baccalaureate course can worthily accomplish is to give the raw recruit the 'setting-up' exercises in Mechanics."

It is now generally recognized, I think, that this subject should cover first of all the elements and fundamental principles that form the basis of every engineer's knowledge; that these necessary elements and principles are best understood and best remembered by actually solving numerous problems that present important facts illustrative of every-day engineering practice, and arouse the student's interest far better than abstract examples which can be easily formulated from imaginary conditions.
