Brunel or Becks : will the future blueprint for education make aspiring to become an engineer as attractive an option as becoming a footballer?

Owens, Jonathan D

Abstract

With all the media hype coming from Westminster perhaps the Great British public could be forgiven for assuming that UK Engineering is well on the road to recovery. The truth is it has never really left us, but perhaps it is the traditional face of UK Engineering that has changed considerably over recent years. It has become leaner, agile, more customer focussed and most importantly has found ways to diversify in the global marketplace...on the whole it has been a relative success story.
