Would you like a career that:

  • Uses all your intelligence, creativity, curiosity and problem solving abilities?
  • Solves all the world's most pressing problems like climate change and the aging population?
  • Is at the cutting edge of technological and scientific development?
  • Has more job opportunities than graduates, high starting salaries and rapid career progression?

If you answered ‘Yes!' to any of these questions I want you to keep an open mind and watch this video on engineering careers.

Engineering careers: what's the scoop?

On your behalf I spoke to Will Whittow, Senior Lecturer in Engineering and Admissions Tutor for Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Loughborough University. He's passionate about encouraging young people to study engineering at university and take up engineering careers.
