Engineers Should ‘Go Overseas’

Apprenticed engineers should try to get experience overseas, at least in Australia, soon after they qualified, Mr E. P. Chapman, the general manager of C. W. F. Hamilton, Ltd., said last night at the engineering prizegiving of the Christchurch Technical Institute.

For qualified engineers to- : day the newer fields of engin- 1 eering were the best fields ■ to enter. Aluminium Indus- : tries, the study of nuclear ; reactors, hydraulics and com- ' puters were rapidly advanc- , ing industries, he said. ‘ The prizes, presented by : Mrs E. P.
