ENGINEERS HEAR
HEADOFSOCIETY
William Batt, President, Ad
dresses Local Branch of En
gineering Society
The habit of active and alert
thinking is the most important
part of the education of a young
engineer," according to William
T. Batt, president of the Ame
rican Society of Mechanical En
gineers, who addressed the local
student branch of that organi
zation yesterday morning in
Phillips hall.
New Problems
Mr. Batt emphasized the fact
that there are wholly new prob
lems today in the business
world which demand more from
the engineer than only a techni
cal knowledge of engineering.
One of the problems to be solved
by this generation of engineers,
he said, is that of low-cost
housing. It is up to the engineer
to cheapen their cost so that they
will be brought into the range
of people who are now unable to
build.
Salesmanship
The importance of salesman
ship in the engineering world
was brought out, and the would
be engineers were told that a
course in public speaking was
necessary first to get a job, and
then sell ideas.
What industry desires of men
today, according to Mr. Batt, is
initiative and the ability to
think and act independently.
Employers want men who think
alertly and not men who merely
"punch a time clock."
William Batt is a native of
Indiana and a graduate of Pur
due. He has been president of
SKF Industries, Inc. since 1922.
