Engineers, Technologists and Scientists in the National Economy

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 July 2016

Extract

In a world in which Engineering, Technology and Science play an increasingly dominant role, the prosperity of Britain with its limited natural resources depends more than ever before on the skill of its population. The proper education, training and optimum utilisation of its manpower is therefore vital. There is strong evidence for anxiety as to the recruitment, supply and use of scientists, technologists and engineers who create the knowledge and organise the human effort required for its successful exploitation in industry and commerce upon which our whole economy depends. These three highly skilled professional groups are interlinked and interdependent.
