SINGAPORE : Singapore's five polytechnics are coming together to
promote engineering as a career with the first-ever Engineering
Week.
The event will see workshops, talks and demonstrations at all five
polytechnics to encourage post-secondary students to take up
engineering.
There are currently almost 200,000 jobs in engineering-related
positions.
Successful engineering graduates will also be sharing their
insights on their careers and passion for engineering.
The Economic Development Board also announced the launch of a
website called Aspirations to provide more information to guide
students in their choices.
The site is an interactive portal with the latest information on
various industries such as electronics, precision engineering,
transport and chemicals.
It will also contain real-life accounts of what engineers do at
work and provide opportunities for students to post questions to
industry experts. - CNA
