Abstract

In this time of great and quickening technological change, many calls are being made for Australia's industries to modernise and for our workforce to acquire greater skills. But it's one thing to become technologically up-to-date. It is quite another to stay there. While it takes a lot of time and effort to do this, failure to do so means slipping behind our competitors. And we are warned, the further we slip behind the greater will be the slide in our standard of living. Leading engineering educators have for some time been urging increased emphasis on continuing education and a greater recognition of its importance. The authors of this article, Bob Davie and John Perry, believe continuing education is not a luxury but an essential requirement for national survival.
