This sector includes massive projects such as building new generation green power generators to smaller scale, but incredibly important, nanobot engineers and everything in between. In this project you will learn about the engineering process: solving problems through idea generation, research, prototyping and testing and constant improvement and, finally, sustainable disposal. This has been created alongside BAE Systems.
