Age restrictions for placements (cont…) | EWB-UK Placements programme
https://ewbukplacements.wordpress.com/2009/10/12/age-restrictions-for-placements-cont-2
Age restrictions for placements (cont…). 12 October, 2009. Thanks for this Ellie! I suppose my own thinking is more to do with reducing poverty than providing a learning experience. It would mean that we could tackle larger projects, over longer periods of time… and, perhaps, create more opportunities for young engineers along the way. The need is not to address the desires of people over 27 in the UK but to improve our ability to reduce poverty in a big way. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are commentin...

Its a blog all about making low-cost toilets in South Africa. Wednesday, January 24, 2007. Cemforce are using a panel made up of a mix of 28mm concrete and polystyrene mix sandwiched between two layers of Glass Fibres mixed with concrete, as you can see below. Here's a little video of one of the early stages of the panel production line:. It was pretty cool to see the factory in action. It wasn't a huge place, and it seemed like it was something that Esibayeni could handle. Wicus was happy to giv...Drew'...

Age restriction for placements (cont…). 12 October, 2009. I understand that it is already current policy that it should be under the age of 27 or five years after graduating, so if you are a mature student you can still apply for projects after you graduate. As for the problem of becoming interested in development later in life, I’m not really sure how often that really happens. It may well be a need, but i think that is getting to be quite niche. Is the point i am trying to make clear there? An american...

Placements Taskforce – Age restriction paper. 1 August, 2009. The Placements taskforce (made up of members fo the EWB-UK board of trustees and the Placements co-ordinator, has produced a revised policy for age restrictions. See below:. Age Restrictions on Placements. Young engineering students are easier to inspire towards an ‘ethical’ career path, as they have rarely already committed to one. Older people may enjoy a few months on placement as an interesting experience, but this is less likely to ha...

Age restrictions for placements (cont…). 12 October, 2009. So should the limits be whilst at uni and upto x number of years from graduating (from an undergrad degree? But stipulate that they cannot have been on one of our placements before and it is a once in a lifetime opportunity? This is also something that has come up in Research and whilst we do not have an age limit for projects whilst studying, there has been interest in a PN group doing a project in their spare time.

Age restrictions for placements (3) – Against. 19 March, 2009. A response by email from Kaitlyn Gillis, an EWB-UK Placement Manager:. Is it fair to say, sorry, you started too late in life? The mission statement and about section on the website should be changed then, honestly. It is misleading. It seems that it is for students, yes, though not students of a certain age ( http:/ www.ewb-uk.org/about. Age restrictions for Placements (2). 9 March, 2009.
