Please Sir/Please Miss… What kind of engineer am I? An adviser’s guide

Friday 5 June 2020 11:25
Open to all

Summary

Engineering is an extensive subject. With so many pathways available, it can be difficult for a typical 17 year old to know what field best suits their interests – let alone you!

With so many pathways, but a largely standardised set of entry criteria, this session aims to identify traits, characteristics, and careers ambitions within your students that would enable them to excel in their chosen field of engineering. During this session, Adam Clare, Professor of Manufacturing Engineering & Faculty Director of Admissions at the University of Nottingham, will aim to demystify the degree titles, breaking down course content, and careers outcomes within these specialisms.

Learning outcomes

  • Greater understanding of the different engineering degree options, course content, and careers outcomes.
  • Insight into the skill set/ personality traits that universities like Nottingham welcome within different specialisms.
