In the eyes of some, graduate engineering programs cannot develop a proper professional flavor sinless they are under the separate jurisdiction of the engineering school and, therefore, are free of control of a c~mpuswide graduate school. However, in a survey of Diversities that offer the Doctor of Engineering or the Engineer degree or both, few respondents 93
