Why Engineering?
A recent report…
‘Engineers are crucial to the economy and society as a whole.
Engineers are the innovators and problem-solvers who really
make a difference to people’s lives.
Engineers are the people behind innovations such as
driverless cars, bionic limbs and space travel.
However the UK is facing an engineering skills shortage.
Recent figures indicate that we need 69,000 more engineers in
the UK every year just to meet industry demand.’
