The Engineering UK report was produced with The engineering sector is the support of the members and fellows of the The state of engineering essential to the UK economy following Professional Engineering Institutions: Key facts 2016 Our revised long-term recommendations based upon BCS The Chartered Institute for IT Institution of Engineering Designers new analysis from this year’s Engineering UK 2016 British Institute of Non-Destructive Institution of Fire Engineers report show that we need: Testing Institution of Gas Engineers Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Managers • A doubling of the number of engineering and technology and other related & Heating Engineering STEM and non-STEM graduates who are known to enter engineering Institution of Lighting Professionals occupations. This is vital to meet the demand for future engineering graduates Chartered Institution of Water Institution of Mechanical Engineers and to meet the additional shortfall in physics teachers and engineering & Environmental Management Institution of Railway Signal Engineers lecturers needed to inspire future generations of talented engineers. Energy Institute Institution of Royal Engineers • A doubling of the number of young people studying GCSE physics as part Engineering Council Nuclear Institute of triple sciences or further additional science or equivalent and a growth Institute of Acoustics in the number of students studying physics A level (or equivalent) to equal Royal Aeronautical Society that of maths. This must have a particular focus on increasing the take-up Institute of Cast Metals Engineers Society of Environmental Engineers and progression by girls. Institute of Highway Engineers The Chartered Institution of Building • A two-fold increase in the number of Advanced Apprenticeship Institute of Marine Engineering, Services Engineers achievements in engineering and manufacturing technology, construction Science and Technology planning and the built environment, and information and communications The Chartered Institution of Highways Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining technologies – with particular emphasis on 18- to 24-year-olds. & Transportation Institute of Measurement & Control The Institute of Healthcare Engineering • Provision of high quality, engineering engagement interventions and careers inspiration for all 11- to 14-year-olds. This should include opportunities for Institute of Physics and Estate Management every child between 11 and 14 years old to have at least one engineering Institute of Physics & Engineering The Institution of Engineering and experience with an employer. This inspiration must highlight the value placed In Medicine Technology on STEM skills, promote the diversity of engineering careers available and provide real life engineering context. Institute of Water The Institution of Structural Engineers Institution of Agricultural Engineers The Royal Academy of Engineering • Support for teachers and careers advisors delivering careers information so that they understand the range of modern scientific, technological and Institution of Chemical Engineers The Royal Institution of Naval Architects engineering career paths, including vocational/technician roles. It is vital Institution of Civil Engineers The Society of Operations Engineers that our education system recognises the employer value placed on STEM subjects and that young people have the opportunity to experience a Institution of Diesel and Gas Turbine The Welding Institute 21st century engineering workplace for themselves.
