Florman, Samuel C. – American Scholar, 1986
Although pressures toward vocationalism are increasingly intense, engineers should be studying the liberal arts. Since communication is essential to successful engineering, it is clear that engineering students should study English; literature and history could also provide knowledge and understanding of people.
