Kutz M. (ed.) Eshbach’s handbook of engineering fundamentals

5th edition. — Hoboken, New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2009. — 1317 p.n the years 1934–1936, when Ovid Wallace Eshbach (1893–1958) was preparing the first edition of the handbook that still bears his name, he was employed as special assistant in the Personnel Relations Department of AT&T. An electrical engineering graduate with honors from Lehigh University in 1915, he was well known in engineering education circles, particularly at schools which offered a cooperative option to their undergraduates. He coordinated the Bell System–MIT Cooperative Plan, an option in the Electrical Engineering Department at MIT, which permitted selected students to alternate study terms at MIT with terms of work, either with the Bell System or with the General Electric Company. In a memoir (available on the Northwestern University web site), to which I am indebted for this information, Eshbach’s son wrote that his father, in addition to interviewing, hiring, and placing students within the Bell System, monitored their progress, counseled them, and followed their careers. He was also an adjunct MIT professor and taught electrical engineering courses for students co-oping at Bell. Eshbach served on committees of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. He was a member of the Regional Accrediting Committee of the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development as well as the Special Advisory Committee to the President’s Committee on Civil Service Improvement. In 1932 he had directed a survey of adult technical education for the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York.Mathematical and Physical Units, Standards, and Tables
