Everything You Need to Know About Engineering
- 2. Which involve engineering? Providing water Health & medicine Gadgets galore Fashio n & beauty Creating cars Solving proble ms Food Built environme nt Sports
- 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.
- 4. School subjects lead to real world engineering • Maths • Physics • Design and Technology • Computing • Chemistry
- 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
- 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
- 7. Getting into engineering… Work School Science (Physics) Maths D&T Computing Chemistry Apprenticeship s Earn while you learn Intermediate / Advanced / Higher e.g. NVQ / SVQ / BTEC 6th Form/College A levels / IB / Highers (or equivalent) BTEC Level 2 & 3 HNC & HND Foundation Degree University Bachelors (BEng) Masters (MEng) On the job training
- 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
- 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.o

Editor's Notes
- This presentation is recommended for use with 13-16 year olds and should be delivered in approximately 20 minutes. By the end of the session students should be able to: Describe one job that an engineer does Provide examples of subjects/qualifications that you may need to become an engineer Explain two positive attributes of engineering roles List two sources where they can go to find out more information about engineering careers The presenter is encouraged to add their own experiences and examples in order to bring the presentation alive for the audience. When doing this - presenters are reminded to consider whether their own experiences will resonate with both boys and girls and a diverse audience of young people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Not all the slides are essential. Presenters may want to insert additional slides or amend the existing order. If this is the case please give consideration to the total length of time for your presentation and again the relevance of any additions for the audience. Presenters are reminded that students may have negative or outdated views about engineering that may need addressing and challenging. We hope that the content and images we have provided will support you with that.
- Here are just some examples of engineered products, you might like to ask students to contribute other things that are designed/created by engineers? More examples are provided on the Tomorrow’s Engineers postcards at www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources
- You may like to link your discussions from the previous slide.
- The most important subjects for engineering are mathematics and physics. Refer to the ‘Getting into Engineering’ poster for more information www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources
- Refer to the ‘Engineering Cars’ and ‘Engineering Fashion’ posters for more information www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources
- For more information about salaries and how they compare refer to the ‘Resource Notes’ at www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources Encourage young people to look at the video case studies on www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk
- For more information about non-traditional routes such as apprenticeships please refer to the ‘Resource Notes’ www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources For more information about suitable qualifications refer to the ‘Route Maps’ www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources (and select individual resources on the left).
- Letters would be CEng (Chartered Engineer), IEng (Incorporated Engineer) and EngTech (Engineering Technician) or ICT Tech (Information and Communications Technology Technician). A Chartered Engineer is an official title given to working engineers who have demonstrated their excellence in engineering. Examples of other professions that have chartered status are: accountants, surveyors, marketers and librarians. For more information about suitable qualifications for professional registration refer to the ‘Route Maps’ www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources (and select individual resources on the left).
- You may need to explain what a ‘multidisciplinary team’ is for some audiences. You may like to include some examples from your own career. Refer to the ‘Resource Notes’ at www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk/resources for guidance on doing this. Encourage young people to look at the video case studies on www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk
- Do you have a Tomorrow’s Engineers resource pack? It includes postcards and leaflets for young people and posters for teachers that you can leave behind. If not you can request one at www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk Don’t forget there is lots more information about engineering careers at www.tomorrowsengineers.org.uk If you have any comments to make about the content and structure of this presentation please email [email_address]
