The School of Engineering at UWE Bristol are seeking to partner with local community organisations with project ideas relevant to engineering students studying the Professionalism for Engineers module.
We welcome project proposals from community, voluntary and social enterprise sectors.
The project is an opportunity for organisations to receive free engineering consultancy from a small team of students (3-6 people), who will be learning skills in team-working, client liaison and applications of engineering as part of the module. The scheme is open for applications until 30 November 2023 with projects completed from February to April 2024.
Projects could be researching and scoping opportunities or issues on behalf of your organisation, planning or providing designs and proposals, or in some cases students may be able to produce an item or intervention for the organisation. Examples of projects might include: auditing and developing concepts for a new engineering project in your area, such as sustainable outdoor space and clean heating solutions; researching community problems and engineering solutions; or adapted infrastructure to meet the needs of a community group. You can find examples of completed projects from 2019 on the blog.
