  1. What isengineering? www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk

  2. Which involve engineering? Solving problems Providing water Creating cars Gadgets galore Fashion & beauty Sports Health & medicine Built environment Food

  3. Engineering is everywhere… Almost everything you eat, wear, use and like to do involves engineering. From everyday things like your mobile, computer and clothes to medicine, space, national security and renewable energy … to tackling climate change, providing clean drinking water or ensuring sustainable food supplies. www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk

  4. School subjects lead to real world engineering Maths Physics Design and Technology Computing Chemistry www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk

  5. Design, develop, produce… Engineering’s about… Finding out what people need, developing ideas and seeing how products can be made at a good price Developing the product on time and running tests to make sure it’s safe and reliable Producing something that makes our lives better… whether that’s a new games console, high-tech sports equipment or quicker, greener and safer travel www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk

  6. What’s in it for you? Loads of different types of roles – such as: Design, development, research, buying (engineering solutions) and management of engineering (projects and people) Opportunities to travel, work in different environments and meet interesting people Plus the money isn’t bad either… For those who go to university, engineering and technology graduate starting salaries are approximately 20 % higher than the average graduate starting salary. Engineering technicians also earn, on average, more than other STEM* technicians – in fact they top the league table of STEM technician salaries. *Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk

  7. Getting into engineering… On the job training ApprenticeshipsEarn while you learnIntermediate / Advanced / Higher e.g. NVQ / SVQ / BTEC Work 6th Form/CollegeA levels / IB / Highers (or equivalent)BTEC Level 2 & 3HNC & HNDFoundation Degree School Science(Physics) MathsD&T Computing Chemistry UniversityBachelors (BEng)Masters (MEng)

  8. Professional Qualifications… Once in work, consider becoming professionally registered and earn the right to use letters after your name Registration requires a combination of qualifications and work experience Some degree courses are accredited and will give you a head start Learn more from the Engineering Council – www.engc.org.uk www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk

  9. Why I recommend engineering… • Being part of a creative process • Designing solutions to meet customers’ needs • Testing and improving technology • Having a range of roles/ responsibilities • Working in a team with others • Doing something different every day • Earning a good salary • Having great prospects – we need more engineers at all levels in the UK www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk
