The John and Linda Mellowes Professor will draw together MSOE staff and students with area companies to benefit all of us. The Mellowes Professorship will be a key component of MSOE service to our students and Milwaukee s industrial base. Of course, our academic programs began with a focus on engineering. But even in the early days, business education was an essential ingredient of an MSOE engineering degree. This is due to the fact that all engineering projects involve real money.
Any solution is a compromise involving money variables, especially cost.
Degree programs in business were first offered in the mid 1950 s and now include two bachelor s degrees and two master s degree. In an institution with engineering as part of its name, it is more difficult for a business program to get its share of attention. All that has changed in the past several months.
