How to get a free STEM education

如果您是居住在英国的孩子,并且想要工程学学位,则可以通过参加Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology。詹姆斯·戴森(James Dyson)在2017年将该研究所提升了该研究所。他的动机是英国的工程技能短缺。

The Institute grants full-blown four-year engineering degrees. It is a genuine educational facility complete with its own campus buildings and dorms. Moreover, students aren’t subjected to the math-and-physics death marchlteschlerth 这是许多传统工程学位课程的新生和大二时期的特征:戴森的学生从学术职业开始就几乎是工程学徒的兼职工作。在典型的学期中,学生每周接受两天的教学和学习。他们与Dyson工程师一起在真正的Dyson项目中工作的剩余时间。戴森学院的毕业生不必担心大学贷款。学费不仅有免费,而且学生在学徒期间所做的工作得到报酬。

美国的居民可能会认为拥有像戴森学院这样的东西会很高兴。实际上,曾经有一个非常喜欢的机构。直到1982年,通用汽车学院(General Motors Institute)自1926年以来一直在密歇根州弗林特(Flint)运营,它曾被称为“汽车行业的西点”。像戴森学院一样,GMI可以授予学位。它还开创了新生级制造课程。学生在GMC工作和每六到12周上学之间交替。尽管学费不是免费的,但GMC部分补贴了学费。

GMI is still around but is now calledKettering Universityafter GMC spun it off in 1982. Once it became privately run, tuition subsidies went away though the cooperative education model was retained and is still in place. And students are paid for their coop work.

总而言之,您必须说,GMC将其踢出巢穴似乎并没有受到伤害。它在非PH.D中在全国排名第13位。美国新闻和世界报道的工程计划,《经济学人》杂志在授权专利方面由《经济学人》杂志第四名。

Still, the national hand-wringing about the lack of STEM graduates has been with us for a long time. So you’d have to wonder why GMC decided to get out of STEM education while Dyson saw fit to enter it. We asked both GMC and Kettering University to explain what went into the decision to cut ties, but neither responded to us.

但是,1980年代初期的经济环境提供了一些线索。从表面上看,1982年在GMC上看起来像是经济上的好年。Its 1982 profits were the largest since 1979. But GMC had lost money only for the second time ever in 1980. And financial analysts figured GM’s good showing for 1982 was due largely to cost-cutting, use of income tax credits and big profits for its subsidiaries, not from building and selling better vehicles.

也许不是巧合的是,1981年是杰克·韦尔奇(Jack Welch)成为GE的总裁兼首席执行官。韦尔奇(Welch)因强烈压力管理人员而闻名,以产生短期结果,甚至每年都会发射10%的GE经理,而不管其绝对性能如何。韦尔奇(Welch)为恶作剧而被狮子化,其中包括将GE从制造公司转换为基本不受监管的银行,并且可能会注意GMC顶级黄铜。它多元化为抵押和数据处理,而美国车辆市场份额从几乎一半降至三分之一。

当詹姆斯·戴森(James Dyson)解释为什么要创建戴森学院(Dyson Institute)时,他说:“我们正在与韩国,日本,台湾和新加坡竞争。这是所有主要的技术国家,我们必须比他们更好。”如果1980年代的GMC管理层意识到全球竞争正在进行中,那么他们的反应就是脱离GMI,显然会更加严重地进入银行业务。DW
