Abstract
The innovative ability of an individual is only partly inherent. With an appropriate balance of education, training and experience, this ability can be developed. This paper describes a new research degree – the Engineering Doctorate – which can provide this balance. The basic principles of the EngD are described, as are the benefits and industrial relevance of the programme. Its main features are a requirement for innovation in the application of knowledge to industrial business and a high level of flexibility. It is also shown to be suitable for engineers at all career stages from fresh graduate to director level.
