Our Engineering Schools Must Share the Blame for Declining Productivity.

Summary: Pending
Secondary headline: Only a minority of their graduates know how to design and manage production. "American engineering education must be held at least partly accountable for the declining industrial productivity in the United States and for our loss of foreign markets. Even though nearly 80,000 new engineers were graduated last year, only a minority of them left college knowing how to design and manage production--in other words, how to "do" engineering. Engineering is the art and science of taking a bright idea and adding manpower, money, materials, and energy to produce a product the public wants at a price it can afford."
