Abstract
IN a second report now issued by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, it is suggested that provision should be made for the education of craftsmen, technicians and professional engineers. There should be a three-year course for a craftsman certificate, followed by a more general course, lasting two years, in work shop administration. For the technicians group, the existing course for the ordinary national certificate in electrical and mechanical engineering should be co-ordinated as a basic course, and this should be followed, where necessary, by a course in advanced technology. Students who do well in the first two years of the ordinary certificate course should be combined with those who have reached the standard of a good school certificate in mathematics and physics, and these students should enter a two-year course leading to an intermediate national certificate designed to meet the requirements of the Section A examinations of the Institutions of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers. These courses would lead to the higher national certificates in electrical engineering and kindred subjects. Another section of the report contains proposals for the further education and training of electrical engineers returning from the Services.
