Engineering Education Scheme Wales

Engineering Education Scheme Wales (EESW) delivers STEM activities across Wales, giving students practical experience of working with industry, businesses and higher education. Activities include designing and racing model cars, tackling real engineering challenges and experiencing engineering study at university. Students can also investigate environmental problems and design and model their own solutions.

EESW brings students and industry together to develop engineering skills and showcase future talent. The organisation is part-funded by the Welsh Government’s Education Directorate.
