Paper 7: Practical Training and Integration of Practical Training on Sandwich Courses
We have a task to prepare the engineer for the environment in which he has to operate, but he needs to be introduced to the whole of the environment and not merely the technical aspect. Integration of practical and theoretical training should seek to explore the total environment by exploiting the developing qualities of the man. He needs to gain an appreciation of skills, of the functions of the control departments, and of the sales and marketing departments. The methods adopted to gain this appreciation may be wrong; it might be better to think of them as complementary but with each allowing for and exploiting the natural training aspects of the other.
