Welcome!
Over at IHEEM, we help engineers become qualified and progress their career through a variety of means, allowing them to find many more opportunities.
We are very passionate about the importance of engineering, and as such we would like to help everyone discover just how interesting engineering can be!
Engineering is so wide reaching, and has applications everywhere in the world, so we’ve set up a competition for you to discover where engineering interests you.
Between 3 different categories based on age, design a poster that explains how engineering achieves that goal.
The best poster for each age range/category will win free tickets to legoland.
scroll down to explore the details and look at examples :
Helping Animals (10 Years)
Design a poster showing the many different ways engineers help keep our animals happy and safe. You could research:
● Veterinary Engineers
● How engineers design things to keep our animals entertained
● How our habitats are engineered
● How our habitats are maintained
● How wild habitats are kept safe and strong
● How engineers design systems to keep wild animals safe
● How engineers help protect endangered species
Helping People (11-15 years)
Design a poster explaining how engineers help people. This could be in any way, so don’t feel limited to just one topic! You could include:
● How engineers help by designing everyday objects
● How engineers help in healthcare
● How engineers design medicine
● How engineers keep people connected over the internet
● How engineers help people travel via automotives and aerospace
● How engineers provide necessities such as electricity and water
Helping Save the Environment (16-18 Years)
Design a poster explaining how engineers are helping tackle one of the most pressing issues to all of us as a species, climate change and damage to the environment. You could include:
● How engineers are revolutionising carbon capturing methods
● How engineers are working on renewable energy
● How engineers are reducing the plastic in our oceans
● How engineers are making buildings and systems more energy efficient
STATEMENT FROM ZANNA
Before taking a look at the competition and IHEEM, I didn’t know much about engineering, nor about how wide reaching it truly is. From Robotics, to medicine, and even agriculture, engineering plays a big role in every industry. One of the most interesting things I’ve ever partaken in is researching just how all of this works, and its truly eye-opening. I hope more young people get a chance to really look into and consider engineering as a fulfilling future career.
