What can you do with a general engineering degree?
The skills that you will learn during a general engineering degree including maths. problem solving, planning and communication, are highly desirable to many sectors outside of traditional engineering. Graduates may find roles in banking, consulting, finance and information technology.
Although there is some momentum in trying to get more women into STEM, only 13 per cent of the overall STEM workforce in the UK is female – a clear indication of how we are under-represented. I often wonder what the reasons are for the under-representation of women among STEM degree holders?
The answer seems to be a of lack of exposure to prospective careers in STEM for girls. In addition, there are just a few female role models working in STEM roles in male-dominated workplaces, and some employers don’t actively seek female candidates.
