What modern day engineering looks like

Engineering and Manufacturing is a huge industry in the UK with £456 million being contributed to the economy each year. Life as we know it wouldn′t be the same without Engineers – they wire our mobile phones, provide us with electricity and create things like prosthetic limbs. They help to reinvent our future.

Due to a skills shortage of Engineers in the UK – by 2020 we will have need to have trained 2 million skilled Engineers to fulfil demand in the industry.....
