It's National Engineering Day! #NationalEngineeringDay aims to make engineering and the UK’s engineers more visible by celebrating how they improve everyday lives and shape the world around us🌎 In recognition of today, we asked the PJS team what ignited their passion for engineering. Swipe through to see what some of them said👉👷 Royal Academy of Engineering Jacob Vernon Nicholas Brown Antony Freeman Noah George #ThisIsEngineering #consultingengineers #EngineeringBetterLives

This is such an important area. Investing in STEM helps the whole engineering/technical ecosystem. Great to see Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd making an impact on this area. Igniting young minds is what gives us those future engineers and technical people that we will need to keep the sector going in the future.

We're excited to announce our agreement with the ACEC North Dakota to facilitate engineering education and workforce development! As engineers across the country retire, there are not enough engineering students in universities to make up for the departures. Under the stipulations in just one federal law—the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021)—the U.S. needs to hire an additional 88,000 engineers. A St. Paul-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Engineering Education Foundation of America (EEFA), has reached terms with the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) North Dakota in a significant step to bolster the engineering ranks across state lines. The agreement that was signed in May will allow the organizations in the two states to collaborate to advance the engineering profession through workforce development and education, including scholarships for engineering students. The agreement will allow the Engineering Education Foundation of America (EEFA), which was established by ACEC/MN, to operate in North Dakota as a charitable nonprofit to raise funds from engineering companies in that state. Under the agreement, 30% of the funds donated by North Dakota engineering firms will be earmarked for engineering scholarships to be distributed in North Dakota. Also, 20% of the funds will go toward North Dakota workforce development. If things go as both organizations hope, the agreement will facilitate a significant expansion of financial resources for education and workforce development.

"Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection" (M. Twain). During the last 9 months I attended the Railway Engineering Program offered online by Delft University of Technology, which I am sharing here in case some of you are interested. The program covers the main aspects of a Railway system: from infrastructure design, to operation and maintenance. My most interesting topics: Rail/Wheel interface, Traffic Control design and Rolling Contact Fatigue. The academic approach is well supported by practical examples from railway operations. #tudelft #railway Have a look here 👇 https://lnkd.in/d2ThhQsf

My passion, love and passion is railways and transportation. The happiest moments of my life are when I train and qualify distinguished human cadres of engineers and technicians or start courses to graduate a new professional batch in the maintenance of moving railway units and trains, as well as railway sciences and technology from operation and movement.
