The Development Of The Managerial Education In A Technical University

The needs of developing the managerial education system in the “POLITEHNICA” University of Bucharest, Romania, in transition conditions to the market economy are discussed. A cooperative program with the Washington State University, USA, starting with a Center set up to offer consultancy to small and medium size enterprises, was then developed as a Center for Business Excellence (CBE) with a direct influence on the engineering management in the “POLITEHNICA”. Moreover, this cooperation became an incentive and a model for implementation of the managerial education in other technical universities of Romania. The extension of CBE to several university cities of the country is a confirmation of the model consistence. An interaction between the two educational systems the engineering and the management is possible to the mutual benefit.
