Welcome
There’s nothing better than reading real stories about people who are already working as Engineers. Finding out how they got to where they are can make for inspiring reading.
Likewise, getting the lowdown on some of the major companies employing Engineers can give you a great advantage when it comes to career planning. These case studies will take you behind the scenes at some of the UK’s biggest engineering and industry players.
Videos
In these four short films, we follow young engineers in very different industries, from Aviation, Medicine & Health, Steel Manufacturing and Commuter Transport on the London Underground.
We find out in their own words about the projects they are working on, what it's really like to be an engineer, what motivates them about engineering and the challenges that they believe the engineers of the future will need to face. Each film is a snapshot of the life of four very different engineers.
