PART 1
Verbal Reasoning

Read the following paragraph and answer TRUE OR FALSE to the statement below:

Engineering research centres (ERCs) were first established in this country in the middle of the 1980s with the direct intention of fostering
improved Research and Development collaboration between universities, industry and the government. Unlike similar engineering
research initiatives that preceded ERCs, they were introduced with a broad remit; their focus was on changing the conduct of academic
engineering research and education as well as precompetitive generic research. The key focus was on innovation in next-generation
technology advances at the intersection of disciplines. It was recognized that universities were often the only places that had sufficient
engineering knowledge to be able to deliver the level of research that was required to support such objectives. The results of the research
were intended to be useful to industry but with a longer-term view than other research. Another direct outcome of the ERCs was that
university graduates would, in theory be better prepared to commence work in an engineering environment.

As time went on the next generation of ERCs went one step further and encouraged collaboration across universities and had a direct
focus on the younger generation of students with a leaning towards engineering - not just those who were already studying at the
universities in question. The third generation of ERCs were implemented from 2008 and were created to cope with an increasingly global
economy and also a reduction in student interest in sciences and engineering.
