Of current interest: Survey shows intelligence rated: Top quality in engineering employees

Intelligence is the most highly sought after personal quality in an engineering employee in the opinion of 44 of the nation's top-level engineering executives, who participated in a survey recently concluded by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development to provide facts about human personality which would be valuable in its program of student and professional development. Results of the 3-year survey which was broadened to include opinions of college administrators, faculty, personnel officials, and engineering students, are published in a 25 page-booklet, “The Most Desirable Personal Characteristics,” in which the data submitted by 1,033 respondents are plotted in 15 bar charts and curves, and interpreted by the ECPD Subcommittee on Student Development.
