STEM Outreach and Education
BSE 3D recognises the importance and significance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). We are passionate about educating and inspiring today’s young people in all things STEM. A young person’s interest and pursuit of STEM education is not only beneficial for their own personal development, but also the development of UK STEM industries. That is why we support and encourage our staff to become STEM Ambassadors to carry out STEM outreach activities.
Our Aim
Our aim is to fill the skills shortage our industry faces. By allowing our engineers to invest their time in STEM activities with schools and teachers, we help provide students with the knowledge and resources they need to make decisions about their future. Our outreach activities give them information on not only building services and how we utilise the different aspects of STEM day to day, but how they apply to the wider construction and built environment industries and the array of careers therein.
Not only do these activities benefit the students we interact with, they also aid our own team’s personal development and enrichment. By taking part in different activities, our staff get the opportunity to develop their social, professional, communication and teamwork skills through networking, giving presentations/hosting assemblies and resource creation.
STEM Outreach Activities
As part of our STEM outreach activities, our staff STEM Ambassadors take part and initiate a number of activities to spark and maintain the interest of young people and the South East and across the UK:
- Through our Mid Sussex Science Week initiative started in 2015 where we partner businesses with primary schools to create STEM projects, culminating in a science fair where the projects are judged and prizes awarded during a day of activities and science shows;
- Through school and community outreach activities such as career fairs, speed career networking, bridge building competitions and school/class assembly talks;
- Creation of STEM resources and career profiles for use in schools;
- STEM pen pal activities to reach schools across the country;
- By working with our local STEM Hub to support and deliver STEM activities such as science fairs and careers talks.
BSE3D were recommended to us by the former head of project management at Mace to advise us in relation to a number of areas relating to the Great Northern Hotel’s mechanical & electrical systems. Over a period of almost two years, BSE3D have helped us enormously through a combination of their vast technical knowledge and their ability to diplomatically drive forward our agenda without fear of upsetting the incumbent teams.
Huge thanks and congratulations to BSE 3D on completing your recent cycle challenge. Most of you have been back already, and I hope you are starting to get over your jetlag and getting back to normality. It’s always a bit difficult settling into the swing of real life! I have had a report about the challenge from the local crew, whom spoke extremely highly of you all while on the challenge, so well done – you’ve also all done a phenomenal job raising funds for such a worthwhile cause!!!
We have been delighted with the performance of BSE 3D. They were able to take our requirements, develop our brief and prepare a design all within a tight timeframe. They then tendered and managed the entire build process to budget. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Our company employ many consultants, to develop design specifications and act as Lead Designer. Over the last two years we have worked together on a new data centre design. On a project of this size there are always areas to be developed and I was particularly pleased with BSE 3D’s response to any issues that arose by providing solution options and making sure the results matched our requirements. BSE 3D produced the Test Specification document used to test the full infrastructure and during the busy commissioning and test phase they were in attendance to witness and sign-off the test documents which confirm the test results fully meet the design standards and test specification.
QData QFZ LLC hired the services of BSE3D for the MEP Design, Consultation and Supervision works of two Data Centers at the Qatar Free Zones of located in Ras Bu Fontas (capacity of 6MW) and Um Al Haul (capacity of 4MW), both of which were customized to the End ?User’s requirements and were successfully delivered. In addition to this, both Data Centers applied for Uptime Institute Tier III Certifications for Design, Construction and Operation in which BSE3D was also involved.
Both projects were well designed, executed and delivered within the agreed time-frame despite many challenges locally and internationally. BSE3D were a key figure in assisting and supporting us as a client to overcome all obstacles, leading to the success of both projects. Their performance and technical support were critical.
We would recommend BSE3D for future projects, given their commitment and their expertise in dealing with regulations within Qatar and the GCC region in general.
We at Colt have worked with BSE3D many times over the years and have always had a brilliant experience with them. The BSE3D team always go above and beyond to ensure designs and projects run smoothly.
In particular as an example; their assistance over the last 3 years on a complicated Generator and switchboard sequencing project has been brilliant. This project was a challenge due to the Data Centre being fully populated and live with customer loads but key switchboard and generator works needed to be completed seamlessly. They created the in depth design brief which was of a very high standard that allowed the project to be completed smoothly with no issues whatsoever.
They are a great team to work with and all members of the team have a very high level of technical knowledge and all work to a very high standard too.
BSE3D have been an unbelievable find for Quantum Switch their contribution to our growth and success in expanding market places coupled with their diligent well experienced certified Data Centre professional engineers has made this possible. What we value most about our relationship is the personal service and technical knowledge available when required. We would have no hesitation in recommending BSE3D Limited for any type of Data Centre projects as long as it’s not in competition.
