Laura Hoang
I was fortunate enough to be offered a summer placement with BAE Systems after my first year of university - this confirmed my interest in pursuing a career in Aerospace and I took further placements at the company while studying for my undergraduate degree.
Brian Phelps
How can we encourage more people and companies to recycle or reduce plastics use?
Amira Tamam
Ever since I was inspired by a STEM ambassador to pursue an education and afterwards a career in engineering, I realised the impact that had on my life, and I knew I wanted to be that inspiration for someone.
Scott Easter
As a child, I was always busy creating things on paper or with LEGO.
Kate Taylor
I really had no idea what I wanted to be when I was at school and it was only by chance that I took part in the EES (Engineering Education Scheme) as a way to get out of work experience! I thoroughly enjoyed the civil engineering project we were given and so went on to study Civil Engineering at university.
Andrew James Bruce
My interest in science started early via books about dinosaurs, space, and general children's encyclopaedias.
Dr Vidyadhar Peesapati
I always wanted to be an engineer, as far as I can remember. I felt I could repair anything in the house, when it broke. I couldn’t, but it motivated me do try harder and pick engineering.
