这一章介绍了美国工程教育体系从19世纪的起源到现在的历史概况。它按时间顺序组织，描述了美国工程教育体系的早期制度形成；二战后工程科学思想的兴起；冷战后期和冷战后工程教育的变化。作为一部宽泛的笔触史，本文并不试图全面，也不涉及每一个重大的历史发展。相反，这一章对美国工程教育体系的结构特征及其随时间的变化采取了更具分析性的观点。这一章的主要目的是为他的书中的其他章节提供背景历史知识，但它也以更广泛的兴趣的几个观察结束。
This chapter provides a historical overview of the U.S. system of engineering education from its origins in the nineteenth Century until the present. It is organized chronologically, describing the early institutional formation of the U.S. system of engineering education; the post World War II ascent of engineering science ideology; late- and post Cold War changes in engineering education. As a broad brush stroke history, this text does not attempt to be comprehensive, nor does it touch on every major historical development. Instead, the chapter adopts a more analytic view of the structural features of the U.S. system of engineering education and it transformation over time. The primary intent of the chapter is to provide background historical knowledge for the other chapters in his volume, but it also closes with several observations of broader interest.
