Attracting Future Engineers: Students' Choices and Core Concepts in Secondary Education

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The increasing demand for engineers in Europe requires a concerted effort to make engineering education more attractive and accessible. This workshop, organised under SEFI’s Special Interest Group (SIG) on Attractiveness, explores two crucial questions: (1) What factors influence students' decisions to pursue engineering throughout their educational journeys? and (2) Which core engineering concepts should be integrated into secondary education curricula? Discussing these questions is crucial because they strike at the heart of how we can strategically inspire and support the next generation of engineers. Participants in this workshop benefited by gaining a deeper understanding of the drivers of student choice and how curricular content at the secondary level can be optimised to nurture interest in engineering careers. Through interactive discussions, participants examined students' motivations, the influence of early education, and strategies to align secondary education with future engineering aspirations. The workshop aimed to foster collaboration among educators, researchers, and industry professionals to shape strategies that enhance engineering attractiveness.
