- W814447143 abstract "The theme of the research stemmed from the generally held conviction that engineers arenot found populating the managerial levels of UK based companies to the extent that isthe case in most of continental Europe. Put simply, in the UK engineering is notconsidered to be the 'royal route' to management.In 1978 through a funding initiative by the then University Grants Committee,management enhanced 4 year engineering degree courses known as 'Dainton' coursesafter the then Chain-nano f the committee, Sir Frederick Dainton, were launched to attractsome of the most able candidates to engineering. Designed to fast track engineers intomanagement these courses have been running now for nearly 20 years and the researchset out to answer whether their graduates have become managers, professional engineers,both or neither and how their background in technology and management may haveinfluenced their subsequent career progression and migration into management.The study is based on 575 usable responses to a postal questionnaire sent to 1,838'Dainton' graduate engineers and comparable control groups from Birmingham, Brunel,Cambridge, Impenal, Oxford and Strathclyde Universities. The responses to thequestionnaire are supplemented by an ethnographical study of documentary courseliterature and discussions with staff responsible for the courses.Contrasts were found between the groups of engineers and the thesis explores thesedifferencesa nd discussesth e possible reasonsf or them. By developing an insight into therole and influence of management training in engineering degrees the thesis concludes bvexamining the consequences for the management of careers." @default.
