‘Engineering should not be taught at school’

Abstract

Putting engineering subjects into the school curriculum is not the best way to get more boys interested in technology. This is the opinion of Sir Patrick Linstead, Rector of Imperial College of Science and Technology. In his presidential address to the Association for Science Education, he warned against further specialisation in schools. He told 2,000 science teachers meeting in London last month: ‘Personally, I am against the idea of having an engineering sixth as well as a science sixth.’
