Abstract
THE Councils of the Institutions of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers have decided to hold, in London a joint engineering conference during June 4-15, 1951, to coincide with the Festival of Britain which is to be held that year. The theme of the conference will be to place on record the achievements of British engineers and will afford an opportunity for the engineers of the world to discuss the future trends of developing the great sources of power in Nature for the use and convenience of man. The conference will also underlineuthe interdependence of all branches of engineering, J none of the great developments in the past hundred years would have been possible without the constant and ever-growing co-operation of the members of theree major engineering institutions in Great Britain. Mindful of the importance of maintaining the high standird and technical efficiency of British engineers in the futre, the conference will also discuss the development of the system of education of engineers in Great Britain. The detailed arrangements of the conference are being prepared and will be announced later.
