"The Carnegie Institute of Technology (Carnegie Tech or CIT), one of the predecessors to Carnegie Mellon University, was founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie as the Carnegie Technical Schools. 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. Since 1970, Carnegie Institute of Technology refers to the college of engineering at Carnegie Mellon University."
