Imagine a world without roads, cars, trains, planes and cars? This would be a world without engineering.
Engineers shape our world. Their input will have contributed to the making of every object you can think of. They are creative, imaginative and innovative. They need to be able to face challenges and solve problems.
Engineers can be amongst some of the highest paid people in the UK and have an important role to play in ensuring the UK economy continues to thrive. Despite this, in recent years, the number of young people choosing to study maths, science and engineering has gradually declined.
The BAE Systems Education Programme aims to challenge perceptions that engineering is dull or is just for boys. We want to encourage young people to choose engineering as an exciting career to be proud of.
