The making of mechanical engineers in France: The Écoles d'arts et métiers, 1803-1914 (1978)

unapi

Description “...the view commonly held by historians that French technical schools produced too many theoretically trained engineers and too few practitioners and therefore provided few opportunities to young men of modest origin has rarely been questioned. I will attempt to do so in this paper, through a study of the graduates of the Écoles d'arts et métiers during the 19th century.”
