Engineering Metrology

Abstract

A FULL-TIME postgraduate course in engineering metrology (technical measurement), extending over one apetaemic year, is being started this year as a permanent feature in the courses provided at the Manchester Municipal College of Technology. The course will deal with the science and practice of measurement in relation to Engineering products and the machine tools employed in production, and to industrial and scientific research. In addition to the subject of metrology, other aspects of engineering will be dealt with in the course, and facilities for research will be provided. This course, which is the first of its kind in Great Britain, represents an initial step towards solving the problems whereby the accumulated store of engineering knowledge can be passed on to the newcomers in the engineering industries and professions. Candidates for admission to the course must be of postgraduate standing. In the first year the number of admissions will be limited to a maximum of about twelve.
