Due to a shortage of trained manpower, beginning engineers in developing countries are often placed in responsible positions requiring management skills. A survey, reported here, was made of U.S. engineering schools enrolling AID-sponsored students in order to determine their policies on management training. Following a literature search and establishment of a management training advisory board, the survey instrument was developed and sent to 197 deans of U.S. graduate schools of engineering. The survey sought to identify (1) the need for engineering students to obtain management skills; (2) those skills considered most useful; (3) the effectiveness of current teaching practices in those skills; (4) current credit and advising policies related to taking management courses; (5) programs, people, and studies concerned with the issue of management training; and (6) a rating of various possible academic programs which address the need for management training. The survey results indicate that this need is now inadequately addressed. A survey of U.S.-trained engineers who have returned to their home countries to practice engineering is recommended, as well as a detailed study of U.S.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
