Actually exposure to a lot of those business subjects is in the standard MEng syllabus, which is increasingly what new engineering graduates are coming out of university with. The management content - and especially teamworking - is really fundamental to the MEng, compared to the pretty much all-technical BEng that anybody over 30 probably graduated with.

Clearly, they're still engineers with some management theory - and also they need to go and get their hands dirty at some point to really understand engineering. But, it's a pretty good product overall.
