Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Sigal Alon and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXX, Dec. 1910" is a scientific publication authored by John A. Bensel, who served as the president of the American Society of Civil Engineers during its 42nd Annual Convention. This book, produced in the early 20th century, presents a formal address that critically examines the state of the engineering profession, reflecting on its historical context and contemporary challenges. The central theme revolves around the idea that while engineers have made significant contributions to the material world, they lag in professional cohesion and collective advocacy compared to other professions. In his address, Bensel emphasizes the need for engineers to take greater responsibility for their professional image and societal impact. He discusses the historic roots of engineering, highlighting significant achievements while pointing out that engineers often neglect the human element in their work. He advocates for a unified professional identity that transcends specialized engineering titles and stresses the importance of being proactive in shaping legislation and public perception. Bensel calls for engineers to leverage their unique skills in mathematics and science to lead societal change, encouraging them to engage more thoughtfully with the evolving dynamics of modern society. The address serves not only as a reflection on the past achievements of engineers but also as a rallying cry for a more interconnected and socially responsible approach to the engineering profession.
