4th March is World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, and we’re publishing two blogs written by some engineering undergrads about their experience studying engineering. But after speaking with our Youth Advisory Board (a group of teens who we work with once a term), we realised that Engineering is a bit of a generic term. So we’re releasing this one off episode at the same time as the blogs to give you some ideas about the different types of engineering out there.Thank you to Dr Dimitris Statharas for speaking to us about studying and working in engineering.***************************Use these links to find out more about different types of engineering:https://www.prospects.ac.uk/jobs-and-work-experience/job-sectors/engineering-and-manufacturinghttps://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-categories/engineering-and-maintenancehttps://www.ucas.com/explore/search/subject-guides?query=engineeringhttps://www.ucas.com/explore/industry-guides/engineering-and-manufacturinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btGYcizV0iIhttps://www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/what-is-engineering/ Engineering Apprenticeshipshttps://shows.acast.com/clearing-choices/episodes/lets-talk-about-engineering-apprenticeshipshttps://www.prospects.ac.uk/jobs-and-work-experience/job-sectors/engineering-and-manufacturing/engineering-apprenticeshipsAdditional Engineering Resources:Civil Engineeringhttps://www.ice.org.uk/what-is-civil-engineering/civil-engineering-explainedIndustrial Engineeringhttps://www.twi-global.com/technical-knowledge/faqs/what-is-industrial-engineeringSound Engineeringhttps://www.jamesonline.org.uk/https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/sound-engineerhttps://abbeyroadinstitute.co.uk/If you know a group of students who would like to interview one of our role models, please get in touch by emailing podcast@untappedinnovation.comLikewise, if you know anyone who would be a great role model, let us know by emailing podcast@untappedinnovation.comFollow us on Instagram @STEMUntappedConnect with us on LinkedIn @STEMUntappedCICCheck out our website
