The Carnegie Institute of Technology was founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie. His stated intention was to build a "first class technical school" in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the children of local steel mill workers. In about a century, it has expanded from four small programs to become Carnegie Mellon University. The Institute still exists under the same name, as CMU's school of engineering, one of the world's best.
