Abstract

Af the International Congress of Electricians held in Paris last July, interesting papers were read by various authors describing the training given in their countries to young men desirous of qualifying for the higher posts in the electrical engineering profession. It appears that, as a rule, the degree of B.Sc. in engineering, or its equivalent, is given after going through a three or four years' course in a technical school or college. It is impossible in the workshops of a college to give a student that insight into methods of management and actual operating that can only be obtained in works offering machinery or apparatus for sale. Hence engineering graduates or those possessing recognised diplomas have to undergo a special apprenticeship course in works, railways, power or distributing stations or with communication companies in addition to their academic training.
