    ​CREST AWARDS PROJECT - Introductory Questionnaire

Submit

Saachi Sen, ex-ONL at Cambridge, speaks Engineering to our Further Mathematics classes.

​Patrycja (Year 12) writes: “Engineering has always fascinated me, and Saachi explained all the different types of engineering that we could specialise in if we were considering a degree in engineering. She showed us an example of the path we could take with education to go into engineering, by illustrating the choices that she made, the subjects that she studied and just how much freedom of choice she had at university. It was really empowering to see an ONL talk about her experience and success in the field of engineering. It motivated us to pursue a career in engineering as she made us aware of the drastically low statistics of females in STEM industries, for example, only 15% of engineers are female; this therefore encouraged us to follow in her footsteps.” 

First thoughts

Make sure you have checked out the work experience opportunities here! Have you considered learning to code?

Things to play with

Lego Mindstorm is epic fun. 

One can do amazing things with a Raspberry pi.

People to play with

A great website on female role models in STEM - sheheroes. 

The fantastic Women in Engineering Society have lots of great ideas of things to do. 

And WISE are possibly also wise.

Engineering female students have their own societies, e.g. at Leeds and UCL.

Books to read

Roma's books is coming out soon but in the meanwhile check out...

The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering...

...which amazingly you can download for free here!!!

“One of the best science books of all time, for people who want ahas in life. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or a curious citizen, try these tools on questions around you, and you will see how so much of the world starts fitting together.”
--Tadashi Tokieda, Cambridge University
