Learning the Trade

Grouping depicting a small boy observing a blacksmith at work. Donated by John D. Hubbard, PE.

The inscription reads: "Learning the Trade Materials are the foundation of nearly all engineering applications and nowhere are the linkages more evident than that between steel, Cleveland and higher learning at Cleveland State University. From early processes where 'Learning the Trade' substituted for normal engineering education to today's advanced engineering professions that require engaged learning of the highest level, the Washkewitcz College of Engineering embodies these concepts and values, and pays tribute to the materials and technologies that lead to the development of the region."
