Abstract
This article examines the numbers of skilled persons in engineering and allied occupations who qualify each year throughout the skill range—from an engineering doctorate to craftsmen and technicians—and compares Britain with other advanced industrial countries. The main quantitative difference between Britain and other countries lies in the numbers qualifying at the level of qualified craftsman; attention is also drawn to an important qualitative difference in practical content and length of university-degree courses in engineering.Keywords
