  • Abstract
    Many universities feature postgraduate programs intended to keep engineering executives technically updated, but these have proved to be only partially successful. Engineers in managerial positions are engrossed in their careers and personal lives; they frequently find returning to a campus environment uninspiring, inconvenient, and sometimes even distasteful. Universities often find it financially unfeasible to design specific programs geared to the varied, constantly changing needs of different industries. RCA´s answer to this problem is Current Concepts in Science and Engineering, a program designed exclusively for top RCA personnel, taught by experts in specialized fields from within the company, and employing new approaches to presentation designed to impart the most information in the least amount of time.
