Education
Attracting more young people to all levels of engineering is essential to:
As the UK’s national academy of engineering, we are uniquely placed, and committed, to tackling the longstanding issues affecting the supply of engineers. Our aim is to bring about significant and sustained improvements, including long term policy and attitudinal change.
To inspire the next generation and increase the pipeline of engineers, the Academy supports a range of educational programmes and initiatives at all levels of education. We use our leadership role and significant knowledge and expertise to partner with government, industry, professional bodies and foundations.
Our activities embrace:
-
widening participation in engineering, particularly by women
-
addressing the skills challenge by investing in engineering further education and by promoting the vital role of technicians
-
nurturing talent by seeking out the highest-calibre leaders and role models of tomorrow
-
improving engineering education by promoting better teaching and learning at every age and every level
