Michelle Worrall's Company Details
NMITE – New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering – is an initiative backed by government, educators, Olin College, and industry, to transform higher engineering education in Britain. The NMITE project is essential to Britain's competitive future. Engineers are key to resolving major world challenges but the UK is critically short of them. Practical problem-solvers will be the innovators of the future and this is crucial for global development.We don't have enough engineers; we don't have enough women engineers; and employers tell us that too many engineering graduates lack the right industry skills for the future.NMITE will be different...We are changing the way engineers are selected. Our application process will allow candidates to impress through their curiosity, ingenuity and passion as much as by a set of starred grades. We hope to make engineering come alive as the creative, problem-solving and inspiringly worthwhile discipline it is.We'll change the way you learn as Elena Rodriguez-Falcon, President & CEO says, ‘you won't come here to study engineering; you'll come here to be an engineer.' Our learner engineers will work collaboratively in small groups, on real-world engineering challenges set by real-world organisations. Our unique curriculum model will enable learners to gain an MEng in three years and will place learning-by-doing over lectures, and learning-by-results over exams.We aim to change the route into employment as the future learning experience of NMITE is being designed solely to align the skills and talent of our engineers with the needs of employers. This will reflect technological developments and help to develop a mindset that is open to change.
