You will learn about possible future roles, the current work environment, professional attributes of engineers, engineering ethics and sustainability. This is vital information for you to start managing your future career.

We will also help you to develop some core skills and personal attributes you will need as a 21st century professional engineer, such as locating and using information, critical analysis and reflective practice, effective teamwork, intercultural skills, engineering report writing and effective presentation skills.
