An engineering apprenticeship in the UK is an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering or electrical engineering to train craftsmen, technicians, senior technicians, and Incorporated Engineers for vocational oriented work and professional practice. modern Chartered Engineers are usually formed through a university degree programme at the Masters Engineering level and may undertake a short form of post graduate apprenticeship. A typical example is the apprenticeships formerly available at the BTH and EEC at Rugby in England. Subjects covered included limits and fits, metallurgy, foundry technology, engineering drawing, materials science for engineering materials, metalworking by hand, operating machine tools, and basic features of engineering design. Also refer to apprenticeship and the UK and German section.
