| Abstract: | Engineering education has a long and satisfactory developmental history in Greece. On the other hand, industrial development, which is the product of systematic government policy of the post-war period, presents mixed results. It is a fact that engineering education, at least to the extent represented by formal, structured university curricula, has not been associated in any direct way with industry, for a variety of reasons—structural, economic, and administrative, originating both in industry and university. The scene appears to be changing in recent years, under pressure from many sides. It remains to be seen whether the long overdue convergence of the two systems will materialise in the near future. |
