The Technical Institute. Travel and conversation provide the belief that there is developing a considerable diversification in programs, objectives, and philosophy among the engineering schools of the United States. This diversity may not be a recent development, but I cannot believe it was true thirty-five years ago. Looking back at the sample of engineering graduates in my acquaintanceship at that time, I seem to recall a considerable uniformity in educational pattern and objectives — and the rather heterogeneous group of salesmen, designers, company presidents, and technicians that has resulted from that educational pattern.
