national award(New awards in engineering practice are being developed to provide clear progression routes from the relevant national awards in engineering practice. The five-year project has resulted in a facelift for the line which has been recognised with several national awards. A new framework of national awards in engineering has been developed over the last few years. It has also just won its second national training award. The new national awards provide two types of qualification. In the academic year 1990/91, work by the staff of the Department led to two national awards. LDOCE Alexander Demidov)
