What is the project? Engineering a better world is a pilot project, running for three years from 1st June 2004, designed to deliver a public awareness campaign to encourage young people into engineering. It is the first initiative of its kind in the UK and embraces the Yorkshire and Humberside region. An important central element of the project is the role of joined up initiatives to provide students and teachers with a coordinated programme of schemes of work, of direct relevance to the National Curriculum, at each stage of a students educational career.
