“pilot” work)

Recommendation • To start “keep it small” then grow

e.g. small bridge (6m) to large bridge (21m Millau Bridge) • Choose projects within area of partners’ expertise and use

network of contacts for supplies and support • Consider JV with other contractors

Infinity Bridge Millau Bridge

What it’s meant to me... “This is one of the best things I have done in my three years of being at the University. Brings textbooks into reality.”

Anil Joshi, Nottingham University “"The Constructionarium spurred my interest to pursue engineering as a career by demonstrating how dynamic each day at work can be."

Jenny Austin, ICL “Whatever I end up doing, I definitely want to be involved in what happens on site."

Nicola Testo, Leeds University

“We have found that Constructionarium positively influences students towards careers in engineering and is seen as an exemplar of best practice for other departments in the engineering department.”

Professor David Nethercott, Imperial College

The New and Improved Experience Construction Programme

What is ECP? • ECP is a Work Experience Programme for young people

wishing to work in the Construction Industry

• Companies can take on an ECP candidate for 2-4 weeks

DISCOVERY DAY MAY 2012 GRAND FINAL JULY 2012

Owen Pugh Group Chairman John Dickson celebrates with pupils from Wellfield School along with Stephen Larkin, ICE NE

• Each task has a deadline date

• Judging day takes place at the end of each task

• Points awarded for each part of each task

• Top 6 teams in each area will be invited to a semi-final

• The top 6 teams will be invited to a Grand Final

• Panel of expert judges

STUDENTS: ‘It was fun and I learned a lot but I felt kind of stressed’ ‘It has helped me a lot with my confidence and presentation skills’ TEACHERS: ‘The Eco Wonder Competition is a great way for students to learn and develop skills. My students thoroughly enjoyed the tasks and brought a lot away from it such as team building, modelling skills, CAD/CAM skills’ ‘The project opened the pupils’ eyes to careers they didn’t know existed … it has fired their imagination and expectations.’

EMPLOYERS: ‘This is the first time in my career that I have seen something that really engages schools with engineering disciplines that is both informative and fun. This is something we need to continue!’ Clive Leadbetter, GeneralManager, A-one+ JUDGES: ‘The project gives the pupils enough insight into the industry to make them realise that there is much more to construction than just builders on a muddy site … especially in attracting those with a professional outlook.’ ‘The project has allowed students to research different careers and gain an understanding of different job roles.’ ‘The whole experience was enlightening. I was unaware of the marvellous potential and talent we have in our schools.’
