英国工程租船的一个关键要求是符合英国专业工程能力标准（UK-SPEC）的要求。这包括与当地社区和网络合作，展示对持续专业发展（CPD）和工程专业的承诺。事实证明，榜样的影响是年轻工程师职业决策的决定因素。这篇研究论文解释了“制造工程热”运动的目标，这是由BME工程师协会（AFBE-UK）共同制定的一项推广计划，它鼓励来自英国少数民族背景的年轻人，尤其是在内城学校，将工程视为可行的职业道路。对来自大伦敦最贫困地区的100名中学生进行了人口调查，以评估年龄、性别、种族、社会背景对职业选择的影响。 结果显示，榜样的影响与学生的职业决策总体上呈正相关。这项调查还试图评估这项运动对黑人和少数民族（BME）出身的年轻人在工程相关学科领域学习的影响。引用:2019年年度会议，密苏里州堪萨斯城，会议论文

A key requirement for UK chartership in Engineering is compliance with the requirements of UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). This includes engaging with local communities and networks to demonstrate commitment to continuing professional development (CPD) and to the engineering profession. The influence of role models has proved to be a determining factor in young engineer’s career decisions. This research paper explains the aims of the "Making Engineering Hot" Campaign, an outreach programme put together by the Association For BME Engineers (AFBE-UK), which encourages young people from ethnic minority backgrounds in the UK particularly within inner city schools to consider engineering as a viable career path. A demographic survey has been conducted to assess the impact of age, gender, ethnicity, social background on the career choice of 100 secondary school students from the most deprived parts of Greater London. The results showed a positive correlation between the influence of role models and students’ career decisions in general. The survey also sought to evaluate the influence of the campaign on pursue a field of study in engineering related subjects amongst young people of black and minority ethnic (BME) origin.
