Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation
That the training of engineers should be more broadly based. Although it may well be that the occasion to use such knowledge will not arise in acute form until an engineer has to take executive responsibility it is impossible at the training stage to know who will achieve such a position. All engineers should therefore learn at least the elements of other branches of engineering than their own in both their academic and practical training.
