The IT-field offers a wide range of jobs and a bright future for the once who choose to become an engineer, but SCB (Statistics Sweden) predicts that in 2030 there will be a shortage of approximately 50 000 engineers in Sweden.

The day is for pupils in second upper class studying technical programmes or nature science.
