Why choose engineering?
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.
“The whole of our infrastructure, from sewers to power supplies and communication, everything that wasn’t invented by God is invented by an engineer. ” - Prince Philip speaking on BBC Radio 4, January 2016
Design, develop, produce Engineering’s about… • Finding out what people need, developing an idea and seeing how it 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
