Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Campaign calls for engineers to teach from
Lifelong Learning UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Initiative includes free PTTLS courses designed to help professionals learn how to pass on their skills by developing teaching skills and confidence".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Waste treatment standards tighten from
Envirowise: "From 30th October businesses will need to treat their nonhazardous waste destined for landfill - which could include anything from food waste, paper and plastic, to bricks, wood and soil".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Igus (UK)
concerning its Igus aluminium guiding troughs
- take a look at Guiding trough extends chain life
which says: "Self-supporting energy chains travelling long distances must be guided efficiently and reliably".
Take a look also at the news release from Hethel Engineering Centre, Conference aims to keep engineering sector healthy,
as well as Engineering event targets schoolgirls from National Metals Technology Centre (NAMTEC),
