The flood and coastal sector today
Knowledge, opportunity and shared understanding: how future skills transcend training
4
• 117,000 people work in the flooding and coastal change sector
• Multiple disciplines: engineering, ecology, environmental science, hydrology, software development, economics…
• Rapid development of digital technologies (BIM, big data) • Challenges within the sector (diversity, gender balance, skills
shortages)
• Uncertainty in future scenarios - need adaptability and interdisciplinarity

Schools
Knowledge, opportunity and shared understanding: how future skills transcend training
10
• FCERM represented in curriculum, case studies, empowering teachers, easily accessible teaching resources
• STEM activities and CPD e.g. Environmental Engineering Day
• Role models passionate about FCERM (women, BAME, LGBT+)
• Apprenticeships and University Technical Colleges
• FCERM community working with education providers to identify skills demand and influence curriculum
“Engineering continues to remain largely invisible in the school education system” and “there is a shortage of specialist subject teachers”

Higher education
Knowledge, opportunity and shared understanding: how future skills transcend training
11
• Higher education is still an important pathway to professionalengineeringcareers
• Multiple pathways: ‒ ‘Traditional’ degrees ‒ Degree apprenticeships ‒ FloodandCoastalEngineeringdegreeprogramme(Brunel & HR
Wallingford) • Industry needs to engage with academia to steer course content and help
create the demand from students for relevant courses • Bursaries and scholarships increase uptake of
specific courses • Advanced training short courses (NERC ATSC)
2019 Studentship Awards
