Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if the Government will follow the 2018 Year of Engineering campaign with further campaigns to engage young people with engineering.

Inspiring the next generation of engineers is crucially important to the UK economy. The Department for Transport is working across government, the Professional Engineering Institutions and industry partners to create not only engaging and inspiring activity for the Year of Engineering 2018 itself, but also to identify and manage its legacy beyond 2018. The aspiration is for the campaign brand ‘Engineering: Take a Closer Look’ and website, with its events calendar and wealth of case studies and teaching resources, to live beyond 2018.
