Business Attendance at electronics summer school jumps

UK Electronics Skills Foundation has held a Summer School which it runs each year to encourage A-level students to consider careers in electronic engineering.

There has been a 44% decline in numbers of students starting electronic engineering degrees since 2002.

The summer school held at Imperial College, London gave A-level and Scottish Higher students the opportunity to take part in lectures and lab sessions to inspire them to be part of the industry.

Topics this year included biology inspired machines, mobile robots and a design challenge using the Raspberry Pi.

At the recent launch of the ESCO report, an industry growth strategy created for government, the skills pipeline and the need to reach out to young talent was repeatedly cited by ministers and industry leaders as essential for safeguarding the £78bn per year, 856,000 person UK electronic systems industry.

According to the UKESF, there is industry concerns on the lack of visibility of electronics careers among young people, which has led to the decline in degree uptake. 60 students from schools across the UK attended, this was 50% more than last year’s event.

“This initiative helps school students make informed decisions about university courses and gives them a taste of what’s involved in doing an electronics degree and the range of stimulating careers on offer to graduates. This industry underpins almost every sector so it’s vital to ensure the word gets spread amongst young people” said Wendy Daniell, UKESF programme manager.

The UKESF has the financial backing from some of the UK’s leading firms that create or rely on electronic systems, with Jaguar Land Rover and Broadcom Foundation this year joining dedicated Summer School sponsors ARM, CSR, Dialog Semiconductor and Imagination Technologies.

Tim Ramsdale, VP for engineering at Broadcom, stated: “Engineering has a need to improve its reputation and sessions like the Raspberry Pi challenge are helping to show that engineering can be creative and intellectually rewarding.

Professor Peter Cheung, Imperial College’s head of electrical and electronic engineering said: “As a result of the UKESF partnership, we’ve strengthened our ties with industry and been able to work collaboratively with other prestigious universities to attract more of the best young talent into this industry.”
