28 x 41 inches. Folded, with minor loss/tearing to the folds and corners. Printed in dark blue (almost black) ink on beige paper. Full text of the poster: "Engineering Science and Management War Training - Free Day and Evening Technical and Management Courses FOR MEN AND WOMEN. Engineers with special training and WOMEN WITH TECHNICAL TRAINING are urgently needed in the National War Industries. Engineering schools, working with other schools with Science and Business divisions and cooperating in the nation-wide program of the United States Office of Education, are now proposing again to offer opportunities for enrollment in courses covering many technical fields. In Greater Boston, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, Tufts College, Boston College, Boston University, Simmons College, and Wellesley College, are cooperating in the preparation of inteisive engineering science and management training programs. The courses include full-time day and part-time evening programs of collegiate grade, and are given without charge to students, for tuition. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION: In general, all courses are of collegiate grade, but the requirements for admission vary with the scope and intensity of each course. These requirements extend from high school graduation (for engineering drawing and similar work) to degrees from recognized engineering schools or colleges of Arts and Science, or Business." This is a recruitment poster for the Engineering, Science, and Management War Training Program (ESMWT) conducted during World War II, "one of the largest and most productive educational activities in America's history. It was perhaps only second to the G.I. Bill (officially the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944) in its scope and productivity. Sometimes referred to as an "experiment in streamlined higher education", this government-sponsored program provided, without charge, college-grade courses for large numbers of Americans to fill urgently needed technical and scientific civilian positions just prior to and during World War II. College-grade was officially defined as "work of an academic standard customarily demanded of engineering-school students. With successive designations of Engineering Defense Training (EDT), Engineering, Science, and Management Defense Training (ESMDT), and ESMWT, the program was operated by the U.S. Office of Education from October 1940 through June 1945, with 227 colleges and universities providing about 68,000 courses for close to 1,800,000 students at a total cost of some $60 million ($975 million in 2022 dollars).Under the initial EDT, women constituted less than 1 percent. With the addition of science and management courses, there were about 9 percent under ESMDT. After the start of the war and ESMWT, the numbers participating in the program increased to 22 percent. Many engineering schools that had earlier been all-male, first accepted women when they began the program. Conversely, a number of previously female colleges - including Bryn Mawr College, Skidmore College, and Wellesley College - participated in the program and had their first male students. (Some of these schools later reverted to all-female).Across the nation, some of the most attended courses were in electronics and radio communications. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Tufts College, Northeastern University, Boston University, and Boston College joined forces to offer the ESMDT/ESMWT program; Dean Edward L. Moreland of MIT served as the coordinator. Much of it was in support of the Radiation Laboratory at MIT where microwave radar was being developed and the electronics firms in the northeast area." (Wikipedia) While many were printed and displayed at institutions all over the country, only a handful of sheets with this title appear in OCLC/Worldcat. An important piece of Boston area WWII wartime recruitment history.
