Engineers are creative problem solvers who can apply their skills to a wide range of industries. Our range of outreach activities aim to share our passion for science and offer an insight into our work by offering educational and interactive activities led by engineering students and academic staff.
Engineering and the Environment at the University of Southampton runs an extensive outreach and widening participation programme. This ranges from in-school talks to residential courses and our ground-breaking TEAtime lecture series.
We work with local schools, colleges and community groups to ensure that events inspire the next generation of engineers.
Our current and past activities include:
- Acoustics - sound workshops (e.g. "Extreme Sounds and Unexpected Music") and interesting tours of our acoustic facilities.
- Aeolus - An extensive programme of creative engineering workshops to inspire curiosity and wonder about sound and acoustics.
- Dragonfly Day - an on-campus day designed for year 9 female students to encourage young women to consider the benefits of further study, and careers, in science and engineering.
- Residential courses - our residential courses are designed for students Yr12, interested in engineering
- Sound effects - we've collated links to sound effects on the web
- Sound waves - the ISVR Teaching Material and Tutorial on Waves and Acoustics.
