Abstract

We established a comprehensive programme enabling those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds to access and successfully navigate university engineering education, before transitioning to professional graduate employment with their peers. The project supports students from lower socio-economic backgrounds by providing tutoring in maths and physics whilst in senior years at high school, mentoring and support through their foundation years at University and industry mentoring in final year of their studies to support their transition to industry. Our project supports students to build personal skills to successfully pursue and graduate in the engineering discipline of their choice.
