I did, and it will only work for special people, the ones without scruples  |O  Lets call it people with a Trumptality. (Short for Trump mentality, and sorry for making it slightly political with that)

UK universities are businesses, but not just businesses.

A key function of a UK professor's job is to understand future technology and how to persuade sponsors that they should spend their money on the subject at his university department.

If anyone thinks that such a competent professor would approach someone with faringdon/treez/etc track record for advice (especially on the stated topic!), then there's a good chance I could sell them a bridge that I own.

Clearly you have no concept of the attributes someone has to repeatedly demonstrate before they become a professor in a UK university!

Such as arrogance? Ignoring the real world and opinions of industry insiders?
Typical academia, not only UK ;D

But I too think this story is made up. As pointed out before, this sort of courses are run by schools of business management, not engineering.

How to attract students? Few things in the world are more attractive than easy money. Import stuff from overseas, slap "made in <country>" label, done. I would love to learn it too.

What more is there to learn then what you mentioned here depicted in green  :-DD

--- End quote ---
Oh, plenty of things, like how you need to do the final assembly step somewhere different, and how to modify your partial assemblies in such a way that you can fit them into particular categories so you can dodge taxes, etc. But that's experience, not something you learn in school, and definitely not something this person will grasp most likely.  >:D

In USA , UK, EU most firms just outsource:

 
 Whats the hourly rate for an  EE as consultant or employee  in  UK or  USA?

vs cost/hr Asia: India? China?  Vietnam?

 Europe/Baltics : Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania ?

The hour rate for an engineer is almost irrelevant to costs. How productive are these people? Really measuring productivity. Not just measuring them by what they complete, but by weather that makes or losses money. Most designs fail and become a substantial net loss for the company. People who consistently produce designs that go quickly and smoothly into production, have well balanced BOMs, and actually have the right mix of qualities to appeal to buyers are like gold.
