"At the bachelor's level we don't expect an
expert level of knowledge, but we would expect that the graduate would be
generally aware of the state-of-the-art practices in their discipline
specialty and familiar with its jargon and basic concepts. |
|
Today's graduates should be capable of
communication clearly and realizing that in the complex industrial world
they will usually be members of a team and that influencing skills are
important for both team and individual career success. |
|
Today's graduates must be comfortable with
change, believe that it is the way of life and that they must continue to
learn throughout their careers." |

Extract of the address by Fred W. Garry,
Vice-President of Corporate Engineering and Manufacturing, General Electric
Company, to the Engineering Deans Institute Meeting (March 27, 1985). |
