Extract

In reviewing industrial education, concentration has been given to the higher educational programmes; also to courses in manufacturing technology and production management which include topics normally within the responsibility of the Director of Manufacture, as outlined in Fig. 1.

There is a wide range of programmes offered in the above topics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

For the undergraduate stream there are seventeen universities and polytechnics which offer first degree courses under a variety of titles such as: Production Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Systems Engineering, and some add Management to the titles as illustrated in Fig. 2.

Most universities and polytechnics have adopted the 4-year sandwich system as offering the most suitable blend of academic and industrial experience for graduates entering manufacturing industry. A very important part of the sandwich course is programming the industrial phase, and in recent years difficulties have been encountered in finding firms which are prepared to undertake this responsibility.
