Engineering Council Resources

Following the introduction of technology to the National Curriculum for students aged 5-16 in 1988, a number of problems with its implementation were identified. The Engineering Council commissioned research into these perceived problems and reports were produced which included recommendations for improvements and future development. The reports in this series of four were called Getting it Right.

Later publications by the Engineering Council have continued to highlight the importance of teaching technology subjects at school level for the engineering sector and the country's economy.

The Engineering Council works in partnership with professional engineering institutions and is responsible for regulating and promoting the profession in order to maintain a world-class engineering workforce in the UK and a standard against which overseas professional engineers are judged.
