Students with a desire to become engineers visited RAF Cosford to take part in the launch of this year’s Engineering Education Scheme organised by the EDT.

The Year 12 students are putting in extra time beyond their studies to participate in a project to design a component for Eaton Electrical Systems which ultimately will be manufactured.

Guided by a mentor from Eaton, they will put together their ideas and work as a team over the next six months.

The students will have to do a presentation at the end and the project will be assessed for which the team will receive an accredited award.
