The Erie Canal has been called America's first school of engineering. How successful do you think it was as a "school"? What would you identify as its major strengths as a school? What would you identify as its most significant limitations as a school?

Choose a field of engineering you are familiar with (options include but are not limited to mechanical engineering, civil engineering, software engineering, and electric engineering) and state whether you think a modern John Jervis--a dedicated and intelligent, but unschooled person--could succeed in this field of engineering without attending college, and explain why. Note: if you are not sufficiently familiar with any field of engineering to answer this question, you may substitute another profession that you know more about, such as teaching, medicine, management, sales, architecture, etc.
