The article considers the problems of the technical competence of the engineering staff in industrial enterprises in Russia. The lack of adequately trained engineers has resulted in many negative effects on the quality and quantity of production. It is suggested that the larger industries should establish strong in-house training and educational…

Curricula in undergraduate engineering have not adequately reflected present usage and knowledge of composite materials (types of rock and organic matter in which structurally dissimilar materials are combined). Wide usage of composites is expected to increase the importance of this class of materials and the need for more substantive exposure to…

To determine the extent to which differences in occupational and geographic mobility are a result of the learning environment in which a certified electronic technician was trained, and to disclose the differences resulting from the occupation itself, the entire population of over 1,500 certified engineering technicians in New York, New Jersey,…
