The National Engineering Recruitment Exhibition will profile the broadest range of opportunities across all engineering disciplines, including rail, aerospace, mechanical, IT and manufacturing.
The National Engineering Recruitment Exhibition (NER), taking place in Hall 3a, at the UK NEC, Birmingham on 22nd and 23rd November 2002 will profile the broadest range of opportunities across all engineering disciplines, including civil, rail, aerospace, mechanical, IT and manufacturing engineering.
NER will bring to life many real engineering challenges in a series of interactive features, as well as providing the opportunity for discussion and career review amongst both graduate and experienced engineers.
Jim Reilly, Group Sales Manager at Venture Marketing Group, organiser of NER comments: "NER aims to both reflect key engineering industry issues and responds to its immediate and long-term challenges.
Essentially, the event will address the accessibility of the engineering industry, highlighting both the 1500 vacant positions on display at NER, as well as demonstrating the range of possibilities, security and challenges offered by a career in engineering".
Input, an education/industry link project based at The Gloucestershire Advisory Service will run two interactive competitions on both days of NER, namely: the 'Skyhooks' Challenge and the 'Tower Building' Challenge.
After receiving a briefing on the principles of the Skyhooks Challenge, teams of up to three contestants will demonstrate their engineering expertise by designing and building a lightweight, aluminium, cantilevered structure capable of carrying a large vertical load at its point end.
Designs will be tested to destruction, the ultimate winner will have to achieved a specified vertical deflection.
The Skyhooks Challenge will run on both days at 12 noon.
Contestants will have 1 hour to complete the challenge.
The 'Tower Building' Challenge will run at 3.30pm on the Friday and 2.30pm on the Saturday.
Teams will consist of up to three people who will design and build a "space-frame" in the form of a tower constructed from paper tubes, connected by nuts and bolts.
The tower will have a minimum specified height and maximum specified base dimension.
The winning design will be the structure that holds the most weight from the highest point of the tower.
Contestants will have 1 hour to complete the challenge.
The Input Project founded in 1985, and sponsored by the Gatsby Foundation, works with education bodies by enthusing young people in science and technology, and with industry, to promote the role of science and technology in economic development.
Other features at NER include a CV Clinic and Careers Presentation Theatre, both intended to help and advise engineers at all levels on how to develop their careers.
