Engineering Degree Courses for Ex-Servicemen

Abstract

MANY who were studying engineering before being called up for national service have been unable to complete degree courses, and although they have become competent engineers, their future career would benefit greatly if they were able to obtain a degree. Mr. O. S. Puckle, of R.F. Equipment Ltd., Langley Park, near Slough, Bucks, believes that suitable courses of study at a number of technical colleges throughout Great Britain, either in the form of a full day on Saturday or a half-day on Saturday and, say, one, or at most two, evenings per week, could be devised to meet this need. He therefore invites engineers or physicists who are interested in such a proposal to communicate with him. Should the number of replies prove to be sufficient, he proposes to communicate with the Ministry of Education in order to ascertain whether something can be done to meet the situation. He has in mind two types of course, covering two or three years and leading to final B.Sc. or B.Sc.(Eng.), depending on whether the intermediate examination has been passed. Replies, stating the nearest technical college Which could be attended, should be sent to Mr. Puckle as early as possible.
