An Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is a postgraduate degree awarded by twenty universities[1] in the United Kingdom. It is a doctoral research degree which combines traditional, university-based PhD study with time working for an industrial sponsor. This mix of study means that the degree takes four years to complete, whereas a traditional PhD takes only three.[2] The EngD program began in 1992 with the first graduations in 1997 and is run by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).[2] Degree ceremony at Cambridge. ...

Students pursuing EngDs, called Research Engineers, spend about three-quarters of their time working with the industrial partner and are supervised jointly by academics from their university and employees at the company. There are also taught training courses that are assessed as a component of the degree course.[2] The minimum level of grant received by EngD students is £1500 higher than that received by EPSRC-funded PhD students.[3] Students attending a lecture at the Helsinki University of Technology The word student is etymologically derived through Middle English from the Latin second-type conjugation verb stÅ­dÄ“rÄ•, meaning to direct ones zeal at; hence a student is one who directs zeal at a subject. ...

Jeremy Clarkson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3241 words)
Clarkson is passionate about engineering, especially pioneering work, as his television programmes about Brunel and the Colossus computer have shown.
Clarkson was awarded an honorary degree from Brunel University on September 12, 2003, partly because of his work in popularising engineering, and partly because of his advocacy of Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the 100 Greatest Britons programme.
In 2005, the School of Technology at Oxford Brookes University awarded him an honorary engineering doctorate, leading to protests from green organizations, who objected to his statements about the environment and his advocacy of car use.
