VMI opened in 1839 to provide one of the earliest and most thorough engineering educations available in antebellum America. The officers of the school saw engineering work as intimately linked to being a particular type of person, one that excluded women or black men. This particular white manhood they crafted drew upon a growing middle-class culture. These precedents impacted engineering education broadly in this country and we continue to see their legacy today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonson Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643150170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643150178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lever Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jonson Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941151801599,"sku":"9781643150178","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_53b4488f-c6ef-499b-91da-1866ba92ed82.jpg?v=1681451216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engineering-manhood-jonson-miller-9781643150178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
