The Structural Engineer, Volume 61, Issue 1, 1983
The paper discusses the needs of engineers for postgraduate training. The development of basic skills through the experience obtained on specific project work, and the need to encourage innovative but sound applications of such skills, can be ensured with a carefully considered approach to planned training. James H. Armstrong
The main theme of this lecture is the enormous importance of engineering in modern society, the damage that has been done by lack of understanding of the significance and principles of engineering by so many people in positions of influence and power, and the need to rectify this lack of mutual understanding between engineers and others, so as to ensure that engineers make their influence felt more effectively to the great benefit of the nation. Viscount Caldecote

This paper discusses the aims and objectives of design studies on such courses, Structural design studies should involve much more than just mathematical analysis. The content of the structural design syllabus is questioned-and a change in emphasis is proposed. R. Bishop and F.E. Weare
