In this brief but highly important book, one of the world's outstanding engineering teachers gives a first-hand analysis of Russian engineering education. His descriptions are based upon his personal knowledge of the Russian educational system during prerevolutionary days and his return visit to Soviet engineering and technical schools in 1958. While hi was this book, Professor Timoshenko had on hand a complete collection of the 1958 curricula for all the Russian engineering schools, programs for many of the subjects taught in these schools, and Russian textbooks jn various fields of mathematics and mechanics.
The author gives a brief history of the development of Russian engineering education and discusses the present state. He describes some important Russian engineering schools as they as they are organized today and briefly compares the curricula of American and Russian schools, with some details about undergraduate and graduate teaching of engineering mechanics in Russia. The participation of numerous research institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences in preparation of young scientists for higher academic degrees is also described.
The author believes that Russia has returned very nearly to the educational system which existed before the Communist revolution. The traditions of the old schools have proved to be very strong, and, in cooperation with the remnants of the old teaching staffs, it was possible to bring order into the organization of engineering education which was disrupted at the time of the revolution. Today, Russia has a large number of engineering schools with competent teaching staffs and satisfactory equipment, where future engineers can obtain the necessary undergraduate training. Special programs have been developed for training research engineers, and graduate programs have been organized in most fields. Thus, the author feels, favorable conditions have been created for further development of the engineering sciences, and at present Russia is in a leading position in several fields.
