The CECAMM engineering campus at Isle of Wight College is set to start working with businesses and the community to help promote access and champion equal opportunity in the field of engineering.
The project will aim to raise awareness of engineering as a career and help develop a wider understanding of its importance in today’s world, and seeks to help to inspire people to choose engineering as an area of study and potential future career and develop a greater awareness of some of the world class industries we have right here on the Isle of Wight.
This project aims to make people more aware of the different types of industry and careers in engineering and sustainable technology on the Isle of Wight such as:
- Wind Energy
- Robotics
- Precision Engineering
- Aeronautical
- Electronics
- Mechanical
- Composites
- Marine
The Ingenious Award project will aim to encourage those who are under-represented in the industry, such as females and people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds to help promote their confidence in progressing into engineering.
Activities will include events on National Women in Engineering Day (23rd June 2021) and School programmes developing projects such as Robotwars, Introduction to Cobots.
