Education consultancy ‘Class Of Your Own’ (COYO) is launching its ‘Design Engineer Construct!’ (DEC) program in Dubai at the Fairgreen International school this week.

According to COYO, DEC is a STEAM focused curriculum that was first unveiled by the firm in 2009. It has since attracted significant support from players in the industry and academia including Mott MacDonald, Buro Happold, Arup, Balfour Beatty, Morgan Sindall and Laing O’Rourke.

Today, young UK DEC students are securing careers in architecture, engineering and construction, the statement said. COYO is now appealing to organisations in Dubai to offer their support.

The launch on 11 September will see parents of Fairgreen students gather at the school from 5pm to learn more about the prospects the industry can offer through DEC.

“I’m so proud to be bringing DEC to Dubai. Of all the places in all the world, and as the host of what will be an extraordinary World Expo, Dubai can offer its children and young people the most exciting opportunities to get behind the scenes of the world’s most iconic buildings and impressive infrastructure,” said Alison Watson MBE, CEO of Class of Your Own.
