what can i teach with an engineering degree (b.eng from open university)?

Answer 1

Within the context of the Further Education System (post 16), you could consider applying for a post teaching the following subjects:- Mathematics from GCSE to BTEC cert/dip (Ordinary and Higher); Engineering Science; Materials Science; Engineering Drawing/CAD, certain physics topics at GCSE and A level... etc.. Look in the Times Educational Supplement (every Friday) and the Tuesday Guardian (Education issue), for vacancies in FE and Tertiary colleges.

Note. Normally you will need to possess a teaching qualification (a PGCE or Cert Ed) for full time posts. You can study for this award full-time, or on part-time day release via an arrangement with your employing FE college.

Good luck with your job search - it can be very rewarding teaching in FE since most of your students will want to be in college and are (usually) well motivated.

Answer 2

You can teach physics, technology and general sciences. There are now some schools with engineering classes in the high schools.
You would need to start work on a masters in education for certification.
You could apply to a private school or a community college where state certification is not needed.

Answer 3

Plus what?
Graduates try to get experience in industry first but I guess you have a problem with your chosen subject being in decline in the U.K.
Without it you can only improve on what you have been taught.
You could try to specialise in one subject such as Thermodynamics?
There is a future for you if you expand the variations found there into designing leaner burn power units.
Add Physics to the mix will open more doors for you to innovate lower carbon footprint per unit horsepower?
Write me I might be able to suggest more if I knew of your background.

Answer 4

Craft Design & Technology (CDT)

Answer 5

Nothing. You need to do a PGCE first.
