What became the
Enfield (Ponders End)
part of
Middlesex University
was originally an engineering college specialising in
armaments
and electricity. It differed from every other part in being almost exclusively male. After he first world war its school was divided into houses named after
Isaac Newton
,
Christopher Wren
and
George and Robert Stephenson
. After the second world war it dumped Wren, replacing him with
Joseph Whitworth
, and added a new house named after
Michael Faraday
. The first Principal (1941-195
0
)
Henry Winterbottom Broadbent
, was a Lancashire engineer and in the Stephensons and Whitworth the college looked north
for its inspiration
.
More recently
, the University has promoted
women in engineering
.
