Engineering, Business Management Closely Linked.

The New York Times (11/2, Pfeiffer) reported, "As industrialization hurtled ahead in the United States in the early years of the 20th century, U.S. universities...set up business schools dedicated to producing managers trained in a new science of business administration," and "as the dominant applied science in industry, engineering quickly emerged as a major recruiting ground for the applied science of management." This link between engineering and management "is still close today." In schools, it is "reflected in an increasing tendency to combine the two in specialized M.B.A. and recruitment programs." And among students, in the case of the EMLyon business school in Lyon, "70 percent of the school's M.B.A. students this year have engineering backgrounds, up from 55 percent last year." The Times noted, "Indeed, employability for engineers is a potent worry among young graduates."
