“…To evaluate the effect on students' technical competency in topic lessons and activities, the results related to problem solving skills are computed and tabulated as shown in Table 2. Similar results for the remaining 12 skills related to project management, teamwork and communication skills can be found in Monaco et al (2016b) 17 .…”

“…The multidisciplinary engineering challenge combined discipline specific projects from computer science, mechanical, civil, environmental, chemical and industrial engineering that focused on a unifying underlying theme. The theme for 2016 was CO 2 capture, in contrast to the 2015 theme based on hydraulic fracturing 11 . Throughout the week, teams of program participants worked together to complete a major project (in this case, the design of a CO 2 capture facility) where each group member played the role of a specific kind of engineer, and groups presented their designs at the end of the week.…”

Fracking is a controversial process that requires both chemical and political knowledge in order for young people to make informed decisions and hold industry and government to account. It does not appear in the English chemistry curriculum and little is known about young people's beliefs about fracking, nor of their attitudes towards it. In this study we focus on young people in schools or colleges within a 20 mile radius of the nearest urban area to a fracking site in England. An in-depth qualitative focus group study was used to investigate the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of 84 young people aged 16–19 in 4 schools and colleges. Young people reported knowledge about the process of fracking and to a lesser extent its social, economic and environmental impacts and associated regulation. Formal education was an important, if limited, source of information that tended to be trusted by young people. Negative and ambivalent attitudes towards fracking dominated, with the use of economic, environmental and social frames used by young people to inform their responses to fracking. Support for fracking hinged mainly upon energy supply and energy sovereignty. Fracking was opposed because of detrimental environmental and economic impacts, the impacts of associated protests and because of the political handling of decisions about fracking. The exclusion of young people, and the population of the area more broadly, from participation in decision-making has led to young people's disaffection with political processes and cynicism about the relationship between government and industry. The case of fracking demonstrates the importance of creating space for attention to political processes in chemistry education, and for engaging with young people about energy interventions in their community.
