Engineers Innovation Bootcamp

What is it?

The Engineers Innovation Bootcamp is based on the fundamental belief that graduate engineers need more than the science basics they receive during their degree course. Graduate surveys indicate that there is a discrepancy between what has been learnt and what should have been learnt. Most indicated that people management, management of costs and resources, and broader business context would have significantly helped their transition into the work environment.

Similarly, once in the working environment, graduates have a significant “fresh perspective” on which companies could capitalise, only graduates do not know how to develop their innovative thinking into a business case that management can both understand and respect.

These aspects are the basis for building the Engineers Innovation Bootcamp. Covering Business Context, Innovation and Leadership, This is an opportunity for engineering students to understand the career they have chosen and the potential they have to influence business outcomes.

The outline for this venture has been built in consultation with students, graduates and employers.

Who is it for?
