Calling all engineering students

What’s your take on what engineering can contribute to the UK economy, both now and in the future?

What should universities be doing to make sure that potential students and businesses know about it and their graduates are equipped to do it?

The Engineering Professors’ Council (EPC) is offering engineering students of EPC member universities the opportunity to contribute to this important national debate

In your own words (up to 2,000 of them), tell us what you think. There’ll be cash prizes for the best entries and the overall winner will be invited to deliver a presentation based on their work to the the Engineering Professors’ Council’s Annual Congress in Glasgow in April 2014
