Calling all engineers
Range Rover Blues:
I'm busy finishing my PGCE with an assignment about the new engineering diploma and routes for pupils to get into engineering.
As usual the internet is not much use but neither are any of the lit. sites I have access to .
So, if anyone is involved in teaching the new diploma would you mind dropping me a PM or let me know where I can find out a bit more.
If any of you are engineers I need a couple of "case studies" about how you got into engineering and what route/qualifications etc you took and where you ended up.
With 1 in 5 school leavers targeted to do a modern apprenticeship (I kid you not) the traditional acedemic route that I took is becoming far less relevent, plus it was a long time since my friends and I graduated.
Any help appreciated ;)

Range Rover Blues:
Which one are you doing? the level 3 or the foundation?

Rolls Royce want all their apprentices (4) to do the Level 3. We have a day release from work for one day a week to attend college for the theory of mechanical engineering.

2.5 year apprenticeship at Army Apprentice College in Telecoms Engineering....
mind you... that was way back in the very early eighties!
not sure of it's relevence but if your interested... I can give you more detail.
More up to the minute, I know that the Army still has colleges and still offer apprentices, particularly in the technical subjects, Telecom/IT, Mechanincs, Optical, etc
