Careers in Engineering

Tomorrow’s engineers can find career opportunities in the Energy Sector. DVD features young women working as engineers.
A career in engineering. What is it like?

The Energy Generation DVD + 30 page Career Activities
Thirteen Career Profiles on DVD, including…

They map out their career paths and they make the link between school, college, qualifications and the world of engineering.

The UK’s biggest engineering/energy companies cooperated in the production of this Careers DVD. Each career profile is presented in the workplace in the UK.

See what it is like: in a nuclear power station, in Europe’s biggest coal fired station, on the trading floor of a UK energy company and in the Centre for Alternative Technology.

These 3d immersive experiments use games technology to give realistic laboratory experiences. They are based on years of research into teaching science on-screen. They are ideal where resources are limited or where you want to give your students a wider experience of experiments that they would not normally do, such as measuring the acceleration of gravity on the Moon, firing an AK47 at a ballistic balance, using an Airtrack to verify Newton’s Second Law.

The 3D immersive experiments can be used in a variety of ways:

• By the students directly to prepare for a laboratory experiment by familiarising them with the equipment to be used and the methodology of the experiment. ·
• To give experience of an additional experiment for which there would not normally be available laboratory time. ·
• To give experience of getting a particular result in a different way to what they have used in a practical laboratory lesson which allows the students to compare methods and better understand the essentials of an experiment. ·
• As a substitute for an experiment that might be too dangerous or impossible for a student to undertake. · As general supporting material for science theoretical work. ·
• As revision for an experiment that has previously been performed in the laboratory. ·
• As a personal experience of an experiment normally only performed by the teacher in front of the class.

Experiments include: Velocity, Acceleration and Newton’s 3nd Law using an Airtrack, Conservation of Momentum using a ballistic balance, Moments, Rutherford’s Gold Foil experiment, I/V Characteristics, Magnetic Field of a Coil, Specific Heat, Mechanical Equivalent of Heat, Diffraction, Hooke’s Law and Young’s Modulus, Capacitor Charge and Discharge, Planck’s Constant.

The Debate Chamber Summer Schools, now in their eleventh year, offer students age 11-18 the opportunity to find out more about some fascinating subjects, prepare for university applications, meet like-minded peers and get to grips with some tough intellectual challenges.

The material will be challenging (for the older age-group, about the level of difficulty one might expect in the first year at university), but the atmosphere will be relaxed, with plenty of discussion, debate, and opportunities for students to shape the direction of classes. It is an environment conducive to getting to grips with new ideas.

Working in small groups (usually around 14 students per group) over several days offers participants a real chance to get to know tutors and fellow students and to explore the topics or questions that particularly interest them.

Highlights of Summer 2015:

The Medicine Summer School for students aged 15-18 or Young Doctors for those aged 11-14. The Medicine Summer School has some exciting new content this year, adding obstetrics, clinical pharmacology and gastroenterology in response to requests from last year’s medicine students.

The Summer Law School for 15-18s, now in three 5-day blocks to allow time for more cases, more analysis and more debate on some of the most intriguing legal questions, and the action-packed 4-day Young Lawyers Summer School, including Mock Crown Court Trial, for those aged 11-14.

For those interested in the Humanities, we have Summer Schools in Economics, International Relations, History, and Politics, while Arts enthusiasts should check out the English Literature, Classical Civilisations, Philosophy, or Critical Theory Summer Schools (all for students aged 15/16-18).

For younger students we have the Young Thinkers and Young Writers Summer Schools.

Last but not least, the Maths and Physics Summer Schools will offer some challenging and exciting further study for those who will have completed Maths AS level or equivalent by Summer 2015.

Practical Details:

All the Summer School events will be held at University of London venues in Bloomsbury, Central London, and will take place in July and August 2015. Please note that these courses are not residential, and accommodation must be arranged independently if required.

You can find full details of schedules, dates, costs, student reviews and tutors at http://www.debatechamber.com/summerschools/.

There is a limited amount of bursary funding available for students who would otherwise have financial difficulty in attending – please see our website for details.
