What reading level is The Young Man And Civil Engineering book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Experience is necessary for the engineer. The young engineer must be prepared to spend years gaining by experience the knowledge of materials and of methods of handling men and doing work that are necessary for his later success. There is a great difference between men in their ability to as- similate experience. Some can do so but slowly and require to learn everything by paying for it at a high price. Others can assimilate the experience of others as if it were their own. For the cultivation ...of experi- ence, as above stated, a study of history, biography and engineering failures are especially valuable. (5) Initiative. The engineer must have initiative. He is often called upon to make a quick decision, to meet a new problem, or to do something that he has never done before. He must be resourceful. He must not depend too much on books, but must realize the limitations and even the danger of mere book learning. (6) Good Health. Good health, while not essential, is a very desirable quality for a civil engineer.
