4 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Introduction The Engineers and Engineering Brand Monitor (EEBM) has, since 2010, provided an annual review of the perception of engineering among pupils aged 7-19 years, the general public aged 20+ and teachers of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects. As well as capturing a thorough annual snapshot of national perceptions of engineers and engineering, the EEBM produces trend data that helps us shape our programmes, improve our impact and, for our own and others programmes, form a national benchmarking tool for evaluation processes. This report summarises the key findings of the 2015 EEBM survey and, where relevant, makes comparisons to the survey results in previous years. 1.2 Consideration of engineering Half of pupils aged would consider a career in engineering (11-14: 53%; 15-16: ). The proportion of those aged who would consider a career in engineering () has increased significantly from 39% in % of year olds had considered a career in engineering, an increase from last year. Among females of that age, 28% had considered a career in engineering, an increase from 21% in Boys remain more likely than girls to consider a career in engineering: among 11-14s, 69% of boys vs of girls; for 15-16s, 65% of boys vs 25% of girls % Whether considered a career in engineering Pupils aged 11-16; year olds (2015) 69% 65% 25% 37% (190) (72) Age Age Age % Q: Pupils aged Do you think you would ever consider a career in engineering? General Public aged Have you ever considered a career in engineering? IFF Research 4

Adults similarly under-estimated the average salary paid to professional engineers. Perceptions of engineering pay: year olds (2015) 8 7 Age Age Not well paid Averagely paid Well paid Q: How well paid would you guess engineers are? Well paid 1.5 Career pathways and influencers The majority of teachers (96%), parents (75%) and non-parents (76%) would recommend a career in engineering to their pupils / child(ren) / young people. Among parents of 7-14s, an even higher proportion (8) would recommend a career in engineering to their children. This suggests that all of these audiences have potential to act as a positive influence on the aspirations of young people to pursue engineering careers. Whether adults would recommend an engineering career to young people / pupils: General public & Teachers (2015) (469) (230) (239) (736) (357) (379) Non-parents Parents Teachers Q: Would you ever recommend that young people / your child(ren) / your pupils consider a career in engineering?

IFF Research 13
14 Around two in five pupils (11-14: 37%; 15-16: 36%; 17-19: 39%) and teachers (43%) viewed being an apprentice as desirable to them/their pupils. Parents (51%) and non-parents (51%) perceptions of the desirability of being an apprentice for their child(ren) and young people was higher than that given by pupils themselves. 25% 15% 5% 37% Whether being an apprentice is desirable: Pupils aged (2015) 36% 37% 39% (120) 36% (56) Age Age Age (64) Q: How desirable do you believe being an apprentice is? 4 / 5-Very desirable Whether being an apprentice is desirable to young people / pupils: General Public & Teachers (2015) 51% 51% 51% 51% 53% 43% (469) (230) (239) (736) (357) (379) Non-parents Parents Teachers Q: How desirable do you believe being an apprentice is for young people / your child(ren) / your pupils? 4 / 5-Very desirable IFF Research 14

For example, compared with females: pupils, parents and non-parents are more likely to consider an engineering career pupils are more likely to believe that engineering careers are desirable relative to other careers parents and pupils aged 7-16 are more likely to have a positive perception of STEM Among 11-14s, 15-16s, parents, non-parents and teachers, males are more like to know what people working in engineering do Among 7-11s, boys are more likely to pick positive words/phrases to describe engineering teachers are more likely to have been asked for careers advice about engineering in the past year teachers and parents are more likely to be confident giving careers advice on engineering pupils are more likely to believe that they know how to become an engineer Positive perceptions of STEM: Pupils aged 7-19 year olds (2015) (400) (198) (202) (120) (56) Age 7-11 Age Age Age (64) Science Technology Engineering Maths Q: How positive or negative is your view of each of the following? 4 / 5-Very positive Positive perceptions of STEM: General Public & Teacher (2015) (469) (230) (239) (736) (357) (379) Non-parents Parents Teachers Science Technology Engineering Maths Q: How positive or negative is your view of each of the following? 4 / 5-Very positive IFF Research 15
16 2 Background 2.1 Background The Engineers and Engineering Brand Monitor (EEBM) has, since 2010, provided an annual review of the perception of engineering among pupils aged 7-19 years, the general public aged 20+ and teachers of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects. As well as capturing a thorough annual snapshot of national perceptions of engineers and engineering, the EEBM produces trend data that helps us shape our programmes, improve our impact and, for our own and others programmes, form a national benchmarking tool for evaluation processes. Throughout the report we refer to the different audiences as 7-11s (for 7 to 11 year olds), 11-14s (for 11 to 14 year olds), 15-16s (for 15 to 16 year olds), 17-19s (for 17 to 19 year olds) 1, parents (for those aged 20 and over who report having children), non-parents (for those aged 20 and over with no children) and teachers. The main report explains the findings of the 2015 EEBM within four key themes: consideration of engineering; desirability of engineering; knowledge and perceptions of engineering and career pathways and influences. 2.2 Research objectives The specific objectives of the 2015 wave of the EEBM are: To measure perceptions among children, the general public and teachers towards engineering, engineers and STEM as a whole; To establish what, if anything, people have seen or heard about engineering/engineers and whether this projected a positive or negative image; To understand attitudes towards vocational routes into engineering; and, To obtain data on influences, influencers and viewpoints on career choice. 2.3 Questionnaire design In 2015 the surveys were redesigned in agreement with EngineeringUK. Throughout the report where comparisons are possible with the previous EEBM surveys these have been made. 2.4 Methodology The 2015 Brand Monitor was conducted in May/June 2015, utilising an online survey with 3,117 respondents across the different audiences. Four different quantitative questionnaires were developed as follows: General public (those aged 20+ including both parents and non-parents) Pupils aged (those aged 11-14, and 17-19) Pupils aged 7-11 Teachers 1 These reflect Key Stages 2-5 in England and Wales. IFF Research 16
17 The samples achieved, by audience, were as follows: 20+ year olds parents (n=736) 20+ year olds non-parents (n=469) 11-19s (n=728) s (n=400) Teachers (n=784) Respondents were recruited through an online research panel provider, except in the case of the teachers who were recruited from the database of a leading education provider, Pearson. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Pearson for providing the sample for the teachers audience of the 2015 EEBM. 2.5 Demographics The table below provides a basic unweighted demographic breakdown for the different groups. 7-11s s s s Parents Non-parents Teachers TOTAL Seventy additional 17-19s were asked a single question through the general public survey. For this question alone the 17-19s response in the report includes a combined response from both the 17-19s within the pupil survey and 17-19s who were not studying at school or sixth form from the general public survey (a total of 190 respondents).
