Design Education in UK faithfully reflects her social and industrial background. It is said that the tradition places engineering lower position than other industrialized nations.
In 1963, a report of a committee appointed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research to Consider the Present Standing of Mechanical Engineering Design recommended to re-organization of engineering design in UK. The report is said of a turning point of today's design education in the nation.
