The challenging task of inspiring the next generation of UK engineers so that acknowledged skills shortages can be addressed, is further confirmed by the findings of an exclusive survey carried out for Siemens. Responses from 500 11-14 year olds and 1,000 of their parents highlight the industry’s ongoing need to alter some current perceptions. It must also continue in its objective to reposition engineering in the minds of schoolchildren as an exciting and fulfilling modern career choice.
