ENGINEERING
ENGINEERING What do remote surgery, driverless cars, smart devices, sports equipment and e-textiles all have in common? The answer they have all been
engineered. From your mobile phone to the 2012 Olympic village and the bicycles ridden by the Gold medallist engineering plays a part in every part of our lives. No matter what career you are
thinking of or as yet have not even considered, it is guaranteed that you will use equipment made using new and modern materials controlled by electronics, mechanisms and pneumatics systems.
WHY ENGINEERING? ENGINEERING: Engineering is an increasingly innovative and exciting area to work in. It affects every aspect of modern life - from skyscrapers to smart phones, cars to carrier bags. GCSE introduces students to a host of new technologies, helping them to gain practical skills and understanding to inspire a lifelong interest in engineering.
