- Title
The Perkins Review of engineering skills.
- Abstract
The article focuses on engineering education and a shortfall in engineering skills in Britain as of December 2013. It states Stephen Tetlow, chief executive of the Institution of Mechanical Engineer, said it was wrong to rely solely on importing needed talent at a time of high unemployment among the 18-25 age group. It mentions a report by the Institute of Physics that found single-sex schools were better than co-educational schools at getting girls to study non-traditional and STEM topics.
