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.
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
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
