Английская Википедия:Athlone Fellowship
The Athlone Fellowship Scheme for the Practical Training in Industry of Canadian Engineering Graduates in Great Britain was a one to two-year post-graduate program to bring Canadian engineers to the United Kingdom for additional studies or industry experience.[1]
History
The Fellowship is named for the Alexander Cambridge, 1st Earl of Athlone, who created the fellowship[2] at the Engineering Institute of Canada near the end of his term as the 59th Governor General of Canada.[3] The program was intended to build more familiarity of British systems among Canadian engineers, and to provide Canadians with study or work experience abroad.[4] Founded in 1951, the fellowship was awarded to 810 engineers, concluding in 1970.[5]
Structure and recipients
The program consisted of a two-year placement in the United Kingdom. Most participants were engineering graduates who attended a British post-secondary institution for additional courses and research.[5] A smaller group were experienced engineers were assigned to work in industry or as a consultant, and some participants split their time between academic and industry experiences.[5] Fellowships were granted to students graduating from universities across Canada.[5]
