Tamar Engineering Project

A partnership with industry, providing talented engineering students with invaluable mentoring, financial assistance and workplace skills
The Tamar Engineering Project provides mentoring and financial support for students who want to embark on a career in engineering and who have shown potential for high academic achievement at A level, but whose background or personal circumstances may be a barrier to university study.
Companies that support the project provide both the financial assistance of a bursary and mentoring expertise to talented students to help them develop essential workplace skills and gain an understanding of the sector and the breadth of career opportunities open to engineering graduates.
There are 12 students currently being supported by the Tamar Engineering Project:
Benjamin August, Elena Brake, Joshua Eshref, Jamie Lee, Morgan-Lee Jones, Sahar Khodabakhshi, Fatima Njie, Callum Park, Samuel Pakes, Jessica Whitford, Tetiana Yarmola, and Yunus Yobas. You can read profiles of some of those students below.

Building on our strengths

Professor in Ocean Engineering Deborah Greaves was inspired to pursue engineering when at school she benefitted from being part of WISE (Women into Science and Engineering).
Inspiring women to enter engineering has long been a motivational cause for Deborah. Yet she is conscious that many of the national initiatives to encourage greater participation in STEM subjects have not translated into a more diverse mix of students at higher education level.
Echoing the aims of the Tamar Engineering Project, Deborah says
“It’s beyond a simple gender issue. Engineering must draw upon a much broader section of society if it is to include all the voices and ideas needed to engineer solutions for the future.â€

Thank you. Your support has allowed me to study, learn, and build a better future, especially coming from a low-income family. The mentorship is fantastic, and the funding is life-changing. Supporting a scholarship truly makes a difference.

Josh

I’ve always loved problem-solving and understanding how things work but without support, I don’t think I’d be here today.

Benjamin

Coming from a background with financial struggles, followed by war conflict and immigration, the scholarship has been a huge help during a very stressful time.

Tetiana

The scholarship has allowed me to step away from part-time work and focus entirely on university.
