摘要

I have written in the past regarding my concerns about what undergraduate engineers are being taught. This time I would like to address the other end of the spectrum. I vividly recall my redundancy from a position as design engineer a number of years ago, only one casualty of "restructuring" among many.The reason for my own dismissal was given as being that the company was going to use graduates to take a design from initial specification to a full set of detail drawings; a concept seemingly rather flawed to me both then and now. As, at the time, I didn't have a degree, that was me out.
