financial, social and political implications of decisions taken’ 5.In short, engineering graduates were required to be business-minded for the first time.By 1988, the Engineering Council was becoming more outspoken, observing that ‘educationfor working life rather than first job should...be the aim’. The engineer in industry must be ‘anauthority on technology, a leader of others, a communicator’ and engineering courses must‘improve working habits’ 6. The council was itself beginning to warm to the theme ofintervention in the undergraduate curriculum, and would indeed be funding and influencingnew engineering degree courses using Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) finance. Thelinks to industry and the world of work were clearly being re

Dreadnought, Figure 6, was a sufficiently revolutionary naval architecture that manyships have since been classified as belonging to either the pre-Dreadnought era or post-Dreadnought era. The Dreadnought makes an excellent example of how great architectures areoften the result of a single great mind; in this case Admiral Sir John “Jackie” Fisher, the leadarchitect. While Fisher had other notable traits (such as a keen recognition of the importance ofthe human capital involved in fighting a war), the biggest breakthrough on the Dreadnought wasthe use of the Parsons turbine. This propulsion system, which provided a minimum three knotadvantage over reciprocating engine designs of the time
