The shortage of engineering skills to meet the energy industry demand is a well established statement, particularly in the UK[1]. Even if they differ as to the estimated size of the gap the many reports on that issue all conclude that for the coming years the number of graduates will not be sufficient to meet the growing needs due to the redeployment of the energy system. The reason for that is also well known: because of weaknesses in maths, too few students can access to STEM[2] programmes. Unfortunately however, even if remedial actions are taken now it will take years before an impact on the outflow of engineering graduates is effective. So, what can be done now?
