Mechanical Engineering at duPont

★★★★ · Opportunity Beckons! · donwert · 2010-10-15

This is a Jam Handy film produced for DuPont in the early '50s designed to persuade new machanical engineering graduates to apply to DuPont to work. Starting with the question "What would a MECHANICAL engineer do at a chemical company?", it shows the myriad ways mechanical engineers contribute to the company and, along the way, shows how fascinatingly complex a modern chemical company is. The unstated, and perhaps dated, assumption is that you can be assured that if you perform well, DuPont will take care of you for your entire career. I wonder whether DuPont says that now? By the way, there…

Made for Chemical engineering students (regardless of Military service!), this film gives the students the nice hot oil rubdown by DuPont about how wonderful it would be if they worked for them. All the explanation you'll ever need is included. Oh, and if you're not into engineering, then I'd steer clear, as It's a bit boring.
