Case Studies

The Young Engineers Clubs offer an opportunity for students to experience the rewards and challenges of a career in science, engineering and technology.  There is an opportunity for students to test their problem-solving skills in a team working environment, and to develop their creative and innovative skills working alongside real engineers.  The emphasis is on team working, so that everyone can contribute to the project.  All projects are supervised by school or college staff.  Towards the end of the Club session, Clubs are invited to compete for the coveted title of “Young Engineers Club of the Year” at the annual Showcase and Technology Challenge event.
