Young Professionals Engineering
A summer course in Oxford, by Bucksmore Education
This course will guide aspiring engineers to gain a better understanding of the engineering industry from commercial and technical perspectives.
Students will understand the different areas of engineering and learn to evaluate the social, economic, and environmental impact of projects in different global contexts. Possible topics areas for each week may include: the principles of design, planning and prototyping, sustainable engineering and the varying roles of an Engineer.
Students will explore the role of engineers, and how they differ from scientists and mathematicians, taking into account the ethical considerations in engineering projects and the importance of innovation.
The real-world Capstone industry project is developed and delivered by Class of Your Own, a UK social enteprise that has inspired young learners to experience the Built Environment through their Design Engineer and Construct (DEC) learning programme. Upon completion of the two-week programme, students will receive a DEC award, which is a Training Qualifications UK and industry-endorsed certificate.
The addition of an exciting and varied activity and excursion programmes embedded in the timetable, ensures students will have a well-rounded and powerful two weeks studying on the Young Professionals course.
