It should be plain sailing ahead for the Scottish Engineering Leaders Award, Primary Engineer\u2019s national competition which encourages pupils to invent engineered solutions to solve real world problems, after <\/b>Clyde Marine Training<\/b><\/span><\/a> announced their sponsorship of the award.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the UK\u2019s leading maritime training provider, engineering is an important area of focus for Clyde Marine Training (CMT), with cadets who gain engineering degrees<\/span><\/a> <\/strong>and other qualifications forming a core part of their recruitment process, and in turn becoming vital to the ongoing maintenance of the British Merchant Navy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The competition is organised by Primary Engineer, a not-for-profit organisation who work to promote engineering skills and careers in schools across the UK. The Leaders Awards competition was launched in 2013 to help teachers and pupils see and experience the creativity in engineering and has already enjoyed great success.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This new partnership and injection of funding will allow the competition to grow from strength to strength, and already 13% of all Scottish schools have registered for this year\u2019s competition \u2013 the highest number to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The format of the competition sees pupils interview engineers and then inspired by them, use engineering to solve a problem. The children illustrate how their inventions will look and work and all entries are marked by engineers or those working in the industry. Students at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Strathclyde select the winning entry to be turned into a prototype each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commentating on the partnership, Colin McMurray, Managing Director of Clyde Marine Training stated: \u201cWe are delighted to become involved in such an innovative scheme.\u00a0 It is vitally important for the growth of the Merchant Navy, and indeed the economy at large, that we inspire the next generation of engineers, and we recognise that this Award is a fantastic way of doing this.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the timing of our involvement is particularly apt as we enter the government-led \u2018Year of Engineering\u2019 which aims to celebrate UK engineering and offer young people a positive experience of engineering.\u00a0 I personally am excited to see the ideas generated by the children across Scotland who I\u2019m sure will make us proud.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Introducing STEM subjects to primary age children through this initiative will capture their imagine as to the type of engineering and technical roles they can aspire to in the Maritime Industry of the future, either on board vessels or shore based.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lise McCaffery, Regional Director for Primary Engineer, welcomed the support from CMT. \u201cScotland has a rich heritage of inventors, engineers and manufacturers. This competition helps pupils from all backgrounds see that they can be part of Scotland\u2019s engineering future, and it\u2019s wonderful to have Clyde Marine Training\u2019s involvement in the competition moving forward.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Previous winning entries to the competition include the Trolley for the Elderly, designed with a basket that can raise and lower, and the Automatic Sock Sorter, giving each pair of socks a unique magnetic bar code so they pair automatically in the washing machine. The Trolley for the Elderly is now on display at the Glasgow Science Centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr Susan Scurlock, CEO and founder, expressed her delight at the partnership. \u201cPrimary Engineer are thrilled that Clyde Marine Training will be supporting the growth of this exciting and inspiring competition. The competition shows us the huge potential in young people to identify and solve problems in the world.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CMT join the Royal Air Force, Scottish Engineering, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, WEIR Group and the University of Strathclyde as funding partners of the competition who recognise the value of engineers inspiring children and, conversely, children inspiring engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Registration for this year\u2019s competition is now open and the last date for entries is 29<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> March.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
