The Profession
“The engineer creates what has not been.”
–Von Karman
![Page 4: Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Today](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814f8d550346895dbd48c3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Engineers
Engineers develop concepts, ideas & theories, then transform them into realities in order to meet needs.
They couple their understanding of science & mathematics with “engineering sense.”

A Mechanical Engineer
Deals with the production of power from fire, earth, water & air
Harnesses & converts energies to serve man
An unmoved mover Removes conflicts
& solves problems

Engineers vs. Technicians
Technicians implement plans formulated by engineers
The engineer designs the system/device; the technician builds it

St. Jean-Baptiste de La Salle
b. April 30, 1651, Reims, France--d. April 7, 1719, Rouen; canonized 1900; feast day April 7), French philanthropist, educator, and founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, the first Roman Catholic congregation of male nonclerics devoted solely to schools, learning, and teaching. Of noble birth, La Salle was ordained priest in 1678 and devoted himself to education of the poor. He helped to establish charity schools in Reims and subsequently formed his teachers into a religious order (1680). He also set up boarding schools for middle-class boys, reformatories, and--for the first time--training colleges for secular teachers. In 1725 Pope Benedict XIII raised La Salle's congregation to the status of a papal institute. Among his writings are Les Devoirs d'un chrétien (1703; "The Duties of a Christian"), two series of Méditations (1730–31), and La Conduite des écoles
chrétiennes (1720; "The Conduct of Christian Schools").

The Universal Good
“The more universal the good is, the more it is divine. Therefore preference ought to be given to those persons & places which, through their own improvement, become a cause which can spread the good accomplished to many others who are under their influence or take guidance from them.”

Serving a Greater Cause
“For the same reason, preference ought to be shown to universities which are generally attended by numerous persons who, by being aided themselves, can become laborers for the help of others.”
–St. Ignatius of Loyola

LEADERS-IN-SERVICE
“We want graduates who will be leaders concerned about the society & the world in which they live, desirous of eliminating hunger & conflict in the world, sensitive to the need for more equitable distribution of God’s bounty, seeking to end sexual & social discrimination, eager to share their love with others. In short, we want our graduates to be leaders-in-service. That has been the goal of Jesuit education since the 16th century. It remains so today.”

Distinctive Quality
“The most distinctive quality of a Jesuit University is the fact that it takes its mission of service to all members of the community far more seriously than its secular counterparts. Knowing what the institution stands for & what it aspires to be, students will modify their behavior in a manner consistent with the institution’s values & aspirations.”
