For the third year running, Scarborough's leading precision engineering companies are organising a fun event aimed at teenage students considering careers in engineering. Scarborough Engineering Week 2011 takes place at The Scarborough Spa from the 10th to 12th of October. Exhibits include innovative engineering from the past and present - and hopefully the future as well. For instance, there will be a wooden 1920s coach - rebuilt by apprentices - a modern Formula 1 racing car and speedy JCB Fastrac off-road vehicles, plus a preview of the 'Angelic Bulldog' motorcycle that's being built to try and break the world land speed record.
