About this title

Synopsis

A detailed glimpse into the birth of an international engineering gathering.

This book chronicles how the International Engineering Congress of 1915 came to life, from early meetings and planning to the broad coalition of national societies that made it possible. It presents the historical sketch, the key decisions, and the organizational structure that supported the event.

The text frames the scope and value of the congress, showing how engineers from multiple disciplines joined forces to celebrate a major achievement in public works. It includes the formation of the Committee of Management, the early conference debates, and the plan that guided planning and funding. The volume also hosts the full contents of the proceedings, including abstracts of papers across electrical, mining, naval, metallurgical, and other engineering fields, along with discussions and author indexes.
