This story highlights the significant impact that #CareerandTechnicalEducation (#CTE) programs can have on students. Phelps Architecture Construction and Engineering High School's engineering program has successfully ignited students' passion for #STEMcareers, with many drawing inspiration from the traditional professions of their family members. This connection to their family history adds a layer of depth and meaning to their studies, fostering a greater appreciation for the evolution of these professions. It's noteworthy how the school's #CTEprogram bridges the gap between traditional and #moderncareers. By incorporating elements of traditional crafts like blacksmithing into their #engineeringcurriculum, Phelps helps students see the relevance and #continuityofskills across generations. This approach not only honors the past but also prepares students for the future by equipping them with a versatile skill set. The success of Phelps' program underscores the importance of partnerships between schools and local employers. These collaborations provide students with real-world exposure and valuable insights into various #careerpaths. Moreover, they give employers a chance to connect with potential #futureemployees and understand the evolving needs and interests of the younger generation. One key takeaway from this story is the need for continued funding and support for CTE programs. As Olatundun Teyibo points out, these programs are essential for providing equal opportunities for all students, especially those from underserved communities. By investing in high-quality CTE programs, we can empower students to make informed #careerchoices and potentially reduce the burden of #collegedebt. The dedication and passion of both the students and teachers at Phelps are truly inspiring. The students' persistence, #academicgrowth, and willingness to take risks speak volumes about the supportive and engaging #learningenvironment that the school has fostered. Similarly, the teachers' commitment to providing comprehensive support and creating a fun and engaging #learningexperience is commendable.

Building Confidence: Hands-on Design in Engineering Science Courses Engineering students often struggle to connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. A recent study by Gordon Krauss from Harvey Mudd College explores how integrating hands-on design exercises into engineering science courses can boost student confidence (ICED 23 Proceedings). https://lnkd.in/gSaMcCkb Join the "Design is a Team Sport" movement at ICED25 Dallas. How can engineering curricula be improved to better integrate design and application?

As some of our followers may have noticed if they have visited us in real life, we are currently having a pavilion set up next to our buildings at Katrinebjerg 🏗️ The pavilion, which is a secondhand, high-quality pavilion built with reuse in mind, is going to house teaching facilities and student activities later this year 🎓 If you are curious and would like to read more (unfortunately only in Danish) and see some photos of the move of the pavilion, FEAS has written a short article about it ⬇️ #AU #AUengineering #AUstudents #students #studentlife #greengineering

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴? Off the back of my post last week in Parliament, a few comments really stood out to me... Adam Fallon - "What triggered my own interest in engineering at school? Work experience and some good design tech and science teachers helped - but it was clubs and competitions that really got me hands on and curious. Lunchtime science clubs, etc." Dan Purvis - "I remember watching a video 4 years ago on someone building a steering wheel from absolutely nothing and immediately thought “I want to do that” The next day I went into school asking how I could do it and ended up learning it on my own!" Wouldn't it be great if we could have an entire feed of comments talking about what kicked off your interest in the sector - an article with Angela Lawlor 🏭 to follow! Please 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 below, and 𝘁𝗮𝗴 who you'd like to bring into the conversation. I'll start: Personally... I can't remember a single defining moment, especially not at school, and it wasn't until I started looking at Universities that Manufacturing was an option for me. However, I spent a lot of my childhood building (and breaking) all sorts of toys and models - Airfix and Lego were my personal favourites! Adam Payne FInstLM, Andrea Wilson, Leigh Howarth, Alan Eklid, Alan O'Neill, Mark Greenhouse MEng, Christopher Greenough, Thomas Flude, Daniel Carley, Peter Shafe, Tom Chaldecott, Luke A., Mark Weymouth🏭📈, Jacob Lord, ✏Robert McKinna... Do you remember the moment that kickstarted your passion for Engineering and Manufacturing? #ukmfg #ukmanufacturing #ConeXcommunity #careers

As I started thinking about Sam Baynham's question I realized that though I have loved the fundamentals of "Engineering" for a long time, there was a slow burn to the "Manufacturing" part. More than I thought would fit in a comment. So after some reflection... When I was a kid, I loved math—it seemed to make sense to me. When I got to high school, I found I also loved Physics, grew to like Chemistry, and avoided Biology. But, one of the most important English assignments I had as a high school freshman was to interview someone working in a job we thought we might want to do someday. At that point, I was starting to think about engineering. People said my favourite subjects—math and science—aligned with it, but I didn’t really know what engineers actually did. A family friend who worked as an engineer at Boeing agreed to have a chat with me. He told me that what he does each day is solve problems: sometimes big problems, sometimes small problems, but there are always problems (or challenges, as Kieron Smith likes to say). He said, “Problem-solving is what Engineering is all about.” That definitely struck a chord with me. Part of the reason I think I loved physics was because it was all about solving physical problems. I could use formulas and parameters to describe or predict how things would behave in the real world. At university, as I moved through my Physics degree, with projects, lab work, and internships. I realised that the hands-on side of all of that Physics work was really what I enjoyed. When I started my engineering career in the Oil and Gas industry designing refinery equipment, we used Excel for a lot of our calculation tools. I saw an opportunity to learn VBA to automate some of those repetitive processes and I was hooked. With a few lines of code, I could make things happen in the digital world. As my career progressed into product development, it got more hands-on and more manufacturing-centric. I discovered that working with 3D CAD and building prototypes gave me a similar thrill. I could tweak a model or a program, and then see those changes come to life in the physical world. Now, in automation and robotics, that same interest drives me. Whether it’s tweaking a CAD model, writing a robot program, or testing a new design, I love seeing how those changes impact the real world. Problem-solving, iteration, and discovery—For me, engineering is about using imagination to turn problems into real-world solutions. #problemsolve #careers #reflection
