This booklet for young people in the UK who are making decisions about their next steps, and the different routes into the engineering sector, including T Levels, apprenticeships, degree apprenticeships and degrees.
This Catalyst article investigates materials used in jet engines. They must withstand high temperatures and great forces. Special alloys are used for structures such as turbine blades. The article is from Catalyst:...
This Mathematics Matters case study describes how mathematicians help to boost efficiency in the energy industry by mapping buried oil reserves. As oil supplies become harder and more expensive to reach, it’s essential that we maximise the yield from available reservoirs in any way possible. Mathematicians are...
More complex careers, with more options in both work and learning, are opening up new opportunities for many people. However they are also making decisions harder for young people and adults given the financial and emotional penalties associated with making wrong decisions.
There are around 1.09m young...
Support from employers is a vital part of all young people’s careers education.
This employer’s guide to STEM careers education explains how employer engagement can support secondary schools and colleges in England to deliver high-quality science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers...
Anna works at the University of Leeds. She uses satellite data to look at glaciers at the poles of the Earth. She uses optical and radar data to track ice movement. She explains how she went to Greenland and Antarctica for field trips to obtain more data for her research. Anna explains how we need to study ice...
