UK engineering training: some problems and some solutions

Abstract

Readers will already know the broad basis of the so‐called ‘elitist’ engineering programmes, and have considered the views of the various parties on their value. In this article I propose to give some details of the Special Engineering Programme (SEP) of Brunel University in conjunction with Henley Administrative Staff College. The details will obviously differ from those of the other seven major programmes; but let me emphasise again that all eight share two important objectives: • To provide a challenging and relevant education and training for highly able and motivated students. • To help develop such students for high level and rewarding jobs in engineering and management in UK industry.
