London Engineering Project
By supporting science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in
schools and colleges and by creating attractive
degree courses in universities, the LEP promotes
engineering as a strategic subject and gives London
students the chance to claim their place in the
technology based future of London.
Since its inception in 2005,
it has already begun to change the face of science,
engineering, technology and mathematics (STEM)
education in the London Boroughs of Southwark and
Lambeth.
The project was developed by a
cohort of fifteen partner organisations led by The
Royal Academy of Engineering with a remit to:
-
Educate and enthuse young people about the positive applications of engineering.
-
Transform schools’ science and maths, increasing and improving student skills.
-
Widen participation and improve social inclusion in engineering.
-
Promote and protect engineering as a strategic subject.
The project works in fifty
Southwark and Lambeth schools and in four higher
education institutes (HEIs).
A team of dedicated field
workers, mentors and project managers deliver STEM
activities in these schools, enriching and enhancing
their school learning within the national
curriculum.
In universities, the project
is already funding, developing and delivering brand
new, socially relevant engineering courses to
encourage and diversify participation in engineering
higher education. Adult learners, women, black and
minority ethnic groups and students from families
with no history of engagement in higher education
are specifically targeted.
