<p>I didn’t say that the reasoning was correct, I just reported what it was historically. Remember, around the time Chicago was created, Harvard was abandoning its engineering school in favor of MIT, and Yale got rid of its engineering school about 40 years later.</p>
<p>Yes, today they are taking some steps in the opposite direction. But “molecular engineering” is a far cry from building bridges or designing circuits. Traditional engineering is not even on the drawing board yet at Chicago.</p>
