New Engineering Insight website from Xylem engages university students with real-life engineering challenges
Leading manufacturer invests further in education initiative aimed at encouraging tomorrow’s engineers
Engineering Insight’s new website at www.engineeringinsight.co.uk aims to help support engineering undergraduates. The programme, which has already run successfully at Aston and Brunel universities over the past two years, provides final year students with a reallife design challenge to work on as part of their degree course. Challenges are set and adjudicated by Xylem’s top team of engineers working in areas such as the oil and gas industry, the water industry and food and beverage processing. Winning student teams receive prizes such as tablet computers and e-readers, plus the kudos of being able to cite their success on a CV. This year’s group winners will receive Microsoft Surface Tablets. Every student who participates in the scheme is rewarded and receives an engineering textbook provided by one of the scheme’s partners, McGraw Hill Publishing, as well as being able to demonstrate active engagement with a real-life project to discuss with potential employers when job hunting. The new website for Engineering Insight explains the details of this exciting scheme, and includes the design briefs provided to Aston University and Brunel University for download.
