Organization and management of engineering described at unusual general session

An innovation in Institute convention programs which attracted marked interest was the general session of the summer convention Thursday morning, June 25, 1942, on the subject of “The Organization and Management of Large-Scale Engineering Works” at which President D. C. Prince presided. Reflecting the increasing degree to which engineers are taking on managerial functions, various aspects of engineering organization were presented by executives representing communications, electrical manufacturing, and public utilities.
