Abstract
Over the past decade the education system in the UK has been heavily criticized for its irrelevance to industry. Employers, in particular, have been concerned that the values and products of the system do not meet their requirements. Meeting these requirements presents many challenges and, indeed, raises many fundamental questions about the aims and purposes of education and how it should relate to industry. Although maintenance education in the UK is still in its infancy, the work undertaken at the MIRCE Centre of University of Exeter has demonstrated that education and industry can work closely together to develop programmes which meet the demands for highly skilled and trained maintenance engineers.
