Thirty Years of Thick‐Sandwich Training
Abstract
THE POST‐WAR PERIOD has produced some major changes in methods of training of professional engineers, one of the most significant being the widespread adoption of various forms of sandwich course aimed at closer integration of academic study and practical experience. The ‘sandwich’ idea is not, however, a post‐war development; in fact, a number of college and university courses have been run on similar lines for many years. These were the prototypes of the thin‐sandwich arrangements involving alternating periods, usually of about six months, in college and in industry which characterise the courses leading to the recently instituted Diploma in Technology.
