The term “polytechnic” has been used in literature to evoke a sense of rigorous, multifaceted education that blends both theoretical study and practical, often physical or technical, training. In many texts, it is portrayed as a prestigious institution where intellectual inquiry meets applied learning; for instance, the description of physical exercises and academic studies coexisting at the Polytechnic [1] illustrates its dual focus. Similarly, references to models of inventions exhibited at the Polytechnic Institution [2, 3] and the detailed description of its strict examination system [4, 5] underscore its role as a crucible for engineering and technical competence. In works by authors like Bernard Shaw [6, 7, 8] and Victor Hugo [9, 10], the term also carries an ironic edge or social commentary, emphasizing the institution’s influence on personal development and broader societal functions. Overall, the word “polytechnic” in literature frequently signifies a benchmark for structured, specialized training with far-reaching professional and cultural impact [11, 12].
