Engineering Futures

Year 12 were fortunate enough to benefit from an informative talk on the life of an engineer during our PSHE lesson as part of the Sixth Form enrichment / careers programme.  Debbie Stephens, a Chief Mechanical Engineer at Selex Communications, opened our eyes to the versatile world of engineering, a profession many of us had never considered before. We learnt that there are many different areas of engineering that one could work in, for example:  a Civil Engineer could design a bridge. A number of props were used to demonstrate this!

Debbie also told us of the importance of work experience and how it can help propel you further into your chosen field of work. We told her a little about ourselves and what we planned to do in the future and she gave us lots of useful advice that we are sure we will all put into practice. We were grateful for the opportunity to hear about Debbie’s line of work and we all look forward to visits from other professionals.
