Young people\u00a0cannot\u00a0aspire to something they\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0know existed, so linking engineers\u00a0with schools to work alongside teachers, children and pupils is a major part of our programmes and competition<\/a>. On Wednesday 13th of December we kicked off our partnership with GE Aerospace Caledonian<\/a>, who are a Scottish partner for our ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do’ competition<\/a>, by facilitating a site visit for some pupils from Troon Primary School<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A large part of this competition is interviewing engineers, enabling\u00a0pupils to ask the questions that matter to them, provide an opportunity for engineers\u00a0to share how they use creative problem solving in their work and inspire the pupils to find their own\u00a0engineering ideas. Pupils from Troon Primary School interviewed a handful of Engineers to ask about their experiences and careers before going in a shop tour to see the GEnX engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
