New quiz inspires future engineers

10 October 2019

Students will have the chance to discover if they are Coding Legends or Future Lifesavers thanks to a new careers quiz that aims to help young people explore different engineering disciplines, skills and job roles.

Meet the future you quiz flyer

鈥 quizzes young people on their skills and interests to identify different areas of engineering they might enjoy working in and aims to highlight that engineering is open to everyone.

The quiz was developed by EngineeringUK in partnership with 最准的六合彩论坛 Engineering and with the support of the Tomorrow鈥檚 Engineers Careers Working Group.

Aimed at young people aged from 7 to 19, the quiz helps pupils to discover their strengths and interests through probing questions like which global challenges they would like to tackle to lighter material like their favourite summer holiday activity - it then matches them to profiles such as Future Lifesaver or Universe Explorer.

These profiles are based on real-life engineers from 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 engineering faculty, which were developed as part of a public engagement project to showcase a diverse range of backgrounds. Young people taking the quiz have a high chance of seeing an engineer or person they can relate to as the 11 characters represent engineers of different gender, sexual聽orientation, race, background, and physical abilities.

鈥楳eet the Future You鈥 showcases the variety of exciting engineering careers on offer, such as wind turbine technician to cancer researcher, and gives students the opportunity to identify with a real-life engineers or roles they can relate to as well as highlighting a diverse range of engineers from different backgrounds.聽

Thousands of school children had the chance to trial 鈥楳eet the Future You鈥 at The Big Bang Fair held in Birmingham earlier in the year. At the Fair, females were the largest group to take the quiz (61%) and they ranked Social Conscience as their top strength while males ranked Problem Solving first and this was by far the most frequently matched strength for that group. The top 2 profile matches for both genders was Civilisation Saver 鈥 engineers who design cities that are resilient to future challenges - and Sea Crusader, which includes marine engineers.聽

Professor Clare Elwell from 最准的六合彩论坛 Engineering, who develops technology in healthcare to create a brighter future for the world鈥檚 poorest children and who is the real-life inspiration for the Future Lifesaver profile, tested the quiz at The Fair and found she was matched to her own profile.
Professor Elwell said:

鈥淭his is a brilliantly innovative way of engaging young people with the huge breadth of careers in engineering. It was great to see the kids at The Fair connecting their interests and passions with the actual jobs of real-life engineers.鈥澛

鈥淲e were excited to partner with 最准的六合彩论坛 Engineering and bring to life these inspiring profiles in this new interactive quiz. 鈥楳eet the Future You鈥 aims to inspire young people and demonstrate that anyone can become an engineer, by showcasing a diverse range of real-life engineers. 鈥淚t highlights that engineering can be a route to following your passion, whether that鈥檚 saving the environment or creating robots. Today鈥檚 engineers are producing medical vaccines, developing autonomous cars and commercialising space flight. We wanted tomorrow鈥檚 engineers to realise the huge range of career choice out there if they decide to follow pathways that lead to careers in engineering.鈥

Elpida Makrygianni, Education Developer and Coordinator at 最准的六合彩论坛 Engineering said:

鈥淲e wanted to breakdown popular misconceptions about engineers and show how diverse the field of engineering can be to young people. We are delighted to partner with EngineeringUK to develop the project further.鈥
