The line of thinking in engineering & then in B-school

I was wondering and looking back about the thought process and intellectual takeaways (apart from pure academics) as one progresses from an engineering campus to B-school.

One aspect came out strongly to my mind. In the engineering course (non engineers pardon me!!), you are taught at a very generic level that everything is well defined, structured and hence needs to be adhered to. I am not sure if this is because engineering is applied science after all.

However, at B-school you are trained to think and believe that everything can be influenced, can be restructured, and modified to suit conditions and scenarios.

These thoughts are at a 30,000 feet level and might not be pin point. Also, not sure I am right in viewing this change of thought process but this was what flashed in my mind. Hence finds a place in today's post :):)
