Terminology used in Technical Educatkui A number of terms commonly used in technical education,which may not be familiar to the reader, will befound in these pages. Trends in sandwich training An explanation of the principal terms and abbrevicaions, together Since the brochure last appeared there has been a general with definitions of the difference between a technologist and move among employers away from the 1:3:1 course, by technician, and between block release courses and sandwich which the student spends a preliminary year in industry courses, etc, will be found in the Glossary (Section8) on p. 106.

In the past, firms have been very willing to take difficulty about this; but in present economic circumstances students on this basis, but, as a study of Section 1 column 4 employers are beginning to show reluctance to offer training will show, the 1:3:1 course has now become the exception places for college-based students. The colleges, keen to rather than the nile. fill all their places, are sometimes tempted to accept students This is an important change.
