Inaugural UKSEF summer school targets decline in engineering students
The recent finals of a design and build challenge allowed would be scholars to compete to create the best-performing two-wheeled balancing robot. The course has revealed that a depth of talent and enthusiasm exists in the next generation of electronics engineers.
Students have also participated in innovation sessions, brainstorming ideas for future products. Further to this they have attended lectures from leading UK researchers and met with inspirational engineers from world leading electronic design companies, including course sponsors ARM, CSR, Dialog Semiconductor and Imagination Technologies.
The UK electronics sector has been described as “indispensable” to Europe’s economic future. To see how electronics is a key enabling technology for scientific research students attended the Science and Technology Facilities Council Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, near Oxford.
The course is being delivered in partnership with the UKESF affiliated universities and the EDT Headstart programme which runs engineering and science taster courses at universities across the UK.
