WMG Engineering In Schools
WMG Engineering in Schools sessions
WMG Outreach are offering two opportunities to raise awareness of engineering.
Workshop: Insight into Engineering
Age: Suitable for years 7 or 8
Location: Classroom or a hall
Duration: 1 hour
When a new building is planned, it’s engineers that translate the architectural design into something that can be built. Its essential that they all work as a team. This workshop gives an insight into how interdisciplinary teams can work together.
• Structural engineers work on external and internal building structures
• Material engineers look at what the building is made of
• Electrical engineers plan how power is distributed around the building,
• Environmental engineers ensure building users have access to fresh water and disposal of waste water.
Presentation - Engineering at University
Age: Suitable for years 7 to 12
Location: Classroom or a hall
Duration: up to 1 hour (flexible)
We can also give presentations to your students about Engineering at University, and the opportunities at Warwick University. Whether through an apprenticeship, a degree course, or both at the same time with a degree apprenticeship, engineering has an option for everyone. This session will look into the engineering teaching that is on offer and the projects that engineers make possible.
We cover:
- The skills engineers need
- The range of roles available
- The types of courses WMG offers
- Exciting projects our engineers work on.
- Bursary opportunities available through the Royal Academy of Engineering’s Lord Bhattacharrya Engineering Education Programme
- Bursary opportunities available from the Royal Academy of Engineering.
