manufacture and production, or the management of maintenance programs Qualifications required The usual qualifications for entry into this career is a degree. However, it may be possible to enter with an HND or HNC. Entry to a relevant engineering degree with: * 2/3 A-levels with GCSEs (A-C) 2/3 in other subjects * A relevant GCSE in a vocational subject or Intermediate GNVQ may be acceptable as an alternative to academic GCSEs * At A level, Maths and Physics are often preferred
Council for the Build Environment (Act 43 of 2000) The CBE (Council for the Build Environmment) is established as an mandated body over the Build Enironment profession councils which includes Architectural, Engineering, Landscape Architectural, Quantity surveying, Project and Construction Management aswell as Porperty valuers. Their vision is to have an environment built to meet peoples needs and aspirations. They want to reach this goal by implementing projects and programmes that address built
Engineering: Engineering is a central function at Gatwick whose role is to manage all airport assets in an effective and efficient way. From large pieces of equipment like the shuttle, to smaller assets such as hand dryers, they’re here to protect our airport and maintain a safe environment for both staff and passengers, in line with UK and EU legislation. 4. Construction and development teams: Gatwick’s development
Genetic Engineering Should Not be Banned Genetic engineering is a hotly-debated topic. On the one hand, giant corporations, ambitious scientists and powerful politicians are pushing forward with projects they claim will benefit mankind, and on the other, public opinion, environmentalists and consumers' associations are concerned that these projects are insufficiently safeguarded and pose irreversible risks to life on this planet. In this paper I will set out the main issues in the debate
Genetic Engineering the Church View A relatively recent issue, genetic engineering has nevertheless become an important enough internationally to cause public debates. The issue is complex, involving many parts and, of course numerous ethical concerns. Some of the parts enveloped by genetic engineering are cloning, modifications of genetic traits, and bioengineering of plants and certain animal to yield better crop and product. Much can be done using genetic engineering. Although we have a potential
2013 there were 184,487 households on local authority housing waiting lists across Scotland. The lack of available social housing is mainly due to stock levels steadily diminishing each year since 1980, after tenants bought nearly half-a-million council houses under the ‘Right to Buy’ scheme. This coupled with the decline in house building; which is currently at its lowest level since 1946, has brought about a shameful lack of affordable public housing (Turffrey, 2010). The downturn in public housing
later Biomedical Engineering – Engineering for life. I have seen a glimpse of the kind of future I am aiming for in my existing employment as research assistant assisting medical doctor in breast cancer diagnosis, during my internship in hospital and my time working on final year project for vein graft surveillance programme in hospital. With the body of experiences I have built up during my undergraduate studies and afterward, I see a future career for myself in biomedical engineering. However, my curiosity
Despite my commitment I had to this course, I was strongly discouraged by the absence of a guaranteed clinical placement which is a precondition for the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) approval. This would limit my hope of graduating as a Biomedical Scientist. Therefore, I took a difficult decision to withdraw from my course. Alternatively, I found that Diagnostic Imaging degree is the best option and I feel more optimistic

As an issue of Technical Training recorded, “intake of [women] computer science students in the UK has dropped from 37 percent a decade ago to 5 percent in 1998.”[5] Other nations, including the United States, have noticed a decline in the number of women in the field.

Introduction This essay aims to discuss the impact of Web Based Technology (WBT) on assessment practices in mathematics. WBT refers to and promotes what is known as Web Based Learning (WBL) where the learning is in hypertext format providing the learner with more exploration and interactivity capabilities. Studies in Hong Kong by Khalifa(2002) suggests that this is the most superior form of WBL in comparison to Distributive Passive Learning (DPL) which is used to deliver linear material such as
‘legally honest’ (obeying laws without question), will enhance my life, that of others, or will make me into the kind of person who can bring something positive into the world. In particular, I would like someone to explain to me why sitting on a council estate and being unemployed brings any benefits to the individual, or society. It is not dishonesty to refuse to disclose, it is misleading statement promoted by those who seek to further their own financial interests and careers in the field of care
Biography Herbert George Wells (or H.G. Wells for short) was born on September 21,1866 to a lady’s maid, and a gardener. HG Wells and his parents Sarah and Joseph, lived in Brombley, England. When HG Wells was seven years old, he had broken his leg. With all of the free time he had, he read and read. Wells had read so much, that he had a fascinating imagination, so filled with thoughts and ideas that he began writing his own little books by the age of ten. When HG Wells was thirteen, his parents
The question of how different building features can affect the building users has occupied the attention of many researchers and building industry professionals the last decades. In addition, many are concerned as well about how to use effectively all this knowledge in that way to influence the decisions about the design of the building. According to Vischer (2009) the research on the building performance and use can be characterized as intelligence gaining. The measures taken for assessing building

of mathematics within society ‘The Inquiry regards it as vital that society fully recognises the importance of mathematics: its importance for its own sake, as an intellectual discipline; for the knowledge economy; for science, technology and engineering; for the workplace; and for the individual citizen.’ Smith (2004) believes that mathematics is important to the structure of society. It is an important tool for the citizens of any society as users of the end product. Smith (2004: p. 13) believes
