Engineering- Take a Closer Look

Engineering: Take a Closer Look,

In Engineering: Take a closer look, a project funded by The Royal Academy of Engineering, Manufacturing NI will work with engineers to help them engage with and building more positive relationships between industry and schools within the Roe Valley Learning Network, to inspire the next generation into a career in engineering.  The programme aims to build awareness of engineering and to address stereotypes in how people relate to engineering promoting diversity and inclusion.

This FREE programme is open to engineers who will receive FREE multimedia masterclasses and 1-1 mentoring on creating online content that will change the perception of engineering and public engagement techniques which will help them to gain experience in communicating to younger people on engineering.  A series of interactive workshops on industry 4.0 and digital transformation will also be included in the programme.
