Christensen described growing need forboth “top quality engineering scientists” and “engineering statesmen,” arguing that the lattershould be “trained to have the breadth of social knowledge and technical excellence to transferAmerican know-how in civil engineering to underdeveloped countries.”8 Christensen clearlytook the position that some of this know-how should be developed at the undergraduate level,adding that “[t]he 20 per cent of humanistic activities so widely accepted is only a start towardwhat is needed.” S. S. Steinberg, Dean of Engineering at the University of Maryland, took asimilar position.
