Frederick Taylor was an American engineer who created the specialty of industrial efficiency. He is considered the father of scientific management and the first management, or business, consultant. His ideas were revolutionary at the time but are now considered outdated by many industrial engineers. Taylor was born to a wealthy Philadelphia family and attended Phillips Exeter prep school in New Hampshire. Accepted to Harvard Law School, he never attended because of deteriorating vision. He later obtained a degree in mechanical engineering via correspondence courses, highly unusual for his era. He began his career in management consulting in the 1890s in Philadelphia. Business expert Peter Drucker wrote of him, “Frederick W. Taylor was the first man in recorded history who deemed work deserving of systematic observation and study.” In 1906, Taylor was accorded an honorary Doctor of Science degree from the University of Pennsylvania and later became a professor at the Tuck Business School at Dartmouth. He was also President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) from
