The third annual Engineers Week, incorporating “Engineered! A Week of Wonder”, will take place from 9-13 February 2009.
The week promotes and celebrates the world of engineering through a variety of public events and activities across the island, and over 14,000 people are expected to take part in the 2009 week.
If you attend any “Engineered! A Week of Wonder” event you will be in with the chance to win a trip to the Space Expo in the Netherlands. The winner and his or her family will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discover what it is like to live and work in space.
STEPS to engineering
