Q1.
What is the company fee used for?
The bulk of the cost is in the running of the university Residential Workshop, and the Scheme needs to cover the cost of delivery of the high quality programme to participants. Our regional delivery network, ensuring high quality management of the project links, programme and events is also included in the company fee.

Q3.
Instead of a chartered engineer, can a technician be an EES mentor?
The preference is to have a graduate engineer/scientist mentoring the team, though it is at the EES Regional Director's discretion.

Q4.
Is the engineer required to attend all 3 days at the university workshop?
The university Residential Workshop is an important part of the EES programme. The ideal is that the EES Engineer attends the whole workshop however if full attendance is not possible the EES allow flexibility. It is important to ensure the team and project won't be affected if the EES Engineer can't attend and therefore measures need to be put in place if this occurs. Specific details can be discussed with the Regional Director.

Q5.
How much time will the engineer have to give?
Ideally the engineer should meet the team weekly during the first few weeks so that the team can be given a good start and can have actions to work on during the Autumn mid term.
We expect engineers to be present at the Scheme Launch, the 3-day university Residential Workshop and the Celebration and Assessment Day (CAD). EES Engineers are required to have regular contact with the team and the amount of time can depend upon the nature of the problem being tackled.

Q6.
How often will the team need to come on site?
A site visit is considered an important part of the EES programme as it is necessary to put the problem in context. The visit should take place as early in the programme as possible.
