Engineering and manufacturing contribute about £800 billion to the UK economy and yet in February 2010 the Royal Academy of Engineering claimed that the projected supply of new graduate engineers is not even For the UK to remain at the forefront of cutting-edge research and to continue to contribute meaningfully to solving global problems like those arising from climate change and future energy supply, we will need more science and engineering graduates. In addition to a groundswell of opposition to the 2,700-kilometer-long Keystone pipeline, 17 of his fellow climate scientists joined him in signing a letter urging Pres.
