Survey of engineering and technology undergraduates' motivations and career intentions  


Closing date 8 January 2012

 

Can you help with research investigating the motivations and career intentions of engineering and technology undergraduates.  The survey is funded by the National HE STEM Programme which supports Higher Education Institutions in the exploration of new approaches to recruiting students and delivering programmes of study within the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The survey is part of the HE STEM Set to Lead project.

Your responses will be completely anonymous. After you have finished the questionnaire you will be invited to enter into a prize draw to have a chance of winning one of the 12 following prizes:

First Prize:                         £100 Amazon token
Second Prize:                    £50 Amazon token
Third Prize:                        10 x £10 Amazon tokens 

 

Please note we are interested in your responses regardless of whether you intend to find a job in engineering or technologist.

 

The survey should take you between 10 and 20 minutes to complete. 


We do realise that you are asked to complete a lot of surveys but we would be grateful if you could spare the time to provide information on your motivations for taking your course and to tell us something about what you think you will do in the future.

 

 

And finally....
If you have any articles you would like to have featured please contact the WES office  by clicking here.
We'd love to hear your stories of your schools outreach activities or ideas to inpsire young people that we can share across our community.

Don't forget to forward on our e-newsletter to your friends and contacts, male and female and help to inpsire more young women to consider engineering and technology as a career.

With good wishes
the e-News team.
