Abstract
An evaluation of published statistical data on the numbers and entrance and exit qualifications of students in Engineering disciplines in English Universities from 1908–88 is presented. These reveal, on the one hand, a continuing decline in numbers but, on the other hand, a temporary rise then fall in mean entrance grades together with a small increase in mean exit grades. Possible reasons for these trends are examined.
