Babcock and the Royal Academy of Engineering are calling for more young people to consider studying science and maths.
They celebrated 100 of shipbuilding in Fife last night - now they are encouraging youngsters to become the engineers of the future. Queen Elisabeth class aircraft carriers are currently being assembled for the Royal Navy by Babcock engineers at Rosyth dockyards.
Professor Dame Ann Dowling DBE FREng, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, said:
"Few places in the British Isles can rival the majestic engineering heritage of the historic Rosyth dockyard. Over the last 100 years Rosyth has contributed enormously both to the successful operation of the Royal Navy and to the development of our nation’s engineering skills base. Great talent - as consistently demonstrated here - is essential for great innovation, which is the gateway to sustainable growth in the modern world."
Kingdom FM News spoke to Stephanie Ferguson, a graduate mechanical engineer, who gave her advice for any young person considering a career in engineering:
