Abstract
IN the presidential address to Section G (Engineering), Wing-Commander T. R. Cave-Browne-Cave deals with the qualifications and personal qualities necessary in 'the young engineer', and treats the problem of engineering education from an unusual point of view because his experience has been in the application of engineering science to a wide variety of new developments, mainly in connexion with airships and aircraft engines. Since going to University College, Southampton, he has been dealing not only with students preparing for the external degree of the University of London, but also with apprentices following part-time courses for national certificates and still more practical qualifications. The review is based upon the knowledge and personal qualities which a young engineer should have acquired shortly after the end of his formal training, say at the age of twenty-eight to thirty, and may serve as a guide to those who are considering engineering as a career. It may also be taken as a background against which the various stages of engineering education are examined.
