Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the founding of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with the intent to establish, in early 19th century America, the first school of engineering and science to incorporate hands-on instruction into its curriculum. The author credits the school's establishment to the vision of Stephen Van Rensselaer and the educational methods put in place by the school's first professor, Amos Eaton. Eaton's innovative approach for teaching science and engineering placed a heavy emphasis on students performing experiments themselves rather than only listening to lectures from the teacher. Not only was this approach revolutionary in America at the time, but it formed the basis for the laboratory-based system of scientific education used in universities today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a pioneering institutionââ âthe first school of science and engineering to be established in the English-speaking world. The author delves into the fascinating history of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, tracing its origins back to the early 19th century when the study of science was just beginning to take hold in America. We learn how a visionary philanthropist, Stephen Van Rensselaer, sought to democratize scientific knowledge and its applications by founding a school dedicated to preparing teachers for rural communities. He partnered with the brilliant Amos Eaton, a renowned natural scientist and educator, who instilled a unique hands-on, student-led approach to learning. The book explores the evolution of the Institute's curriculum, its struggles with fires and financial challenges, and its remarkable growth into a prestigious institution. The author meticulously recounts the development of the school's methods of instruction, its changing landscape of engineering disciplines, and the enduring legacy of its graduates. The book is a testament to the power of vision and dedication to foster scientific innovation and technological advancement, leaving an indelible mark on the future of engineering education.
