There are not that many engineers to hire-enrollment in engineering schools has dropped 20% in the past three years-and companies are competing for the best as fervently as the colleges recruit top athletes. Gary Budd, a senior in industrial engineering at Georgia Tech, was invited to visit seven different companies' plants. He traveled with his wife, wined, dined and lodged lavishly-all at the companies' expense.
