However, initiatives such of Year of Engineering, Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, Tech She Can, STEM ambassadors, Business Enterprise Advisors and the implementation of Gatsby Benchmarks are shaking up people’s ideas about engineering. Engineering careers simply do not resonate with the Insta, filter-loving, Snapchat generation.

In particular, we are seeing new roles created within software, future mobility, electronics, data analytics, cyber security, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced materials, automation and robotics.WHAT’S THE REASON BEHIND THE SHORTAGE OF ENGINEERS IN THE UK?There is no single reason that accounts for the shortage of engineers it is being driven by a complex mix of interlinking factors:Identity problemThe engineering industry has been plagued by an outdated image of spanners and dirty overalls for years, if not decades. High-profile projects naturally create high demand for engineers and we’re certainly seeing this translating into job vacancies supporting government backed initiatives.Linking to the industrial strategy (to become world leaders in these tech developments), a new wave of technologies and start-ups are disrupting industry, resulting in the creation of new industries and job roles. They are supported by a network of suppliers and advanced tech clusters – all of which rely on a skilled workforce.The UK’s industrial strategy, four grand challenges and commitment to zero emission targets are not only challenging the UK to increase productivity but are also serving to boost investment in skills, industries and infrastructure. Historically, many innovative products have been devised, developed and made in the UK, attracting large multinationals including the likes of Boeing and Jaguar Land Rover to base operations in the UK.

It is no coincidence that when it comes to filling permanent vacancies, UK employers have consistently voted engineering and technical in the top three most challenging functions. This is according to the Recruitment Employment Confederation (REC)JobsOutlook monthly report, with figures suggesting that concern has been rising steadily over recent years:BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE INDUSTRIES WHICH DEPEND UPON THE SKILLS OF ENGINEERS?Engineering UK: The State of Engineering 2019 report forecasts: An annual demand for 124,000 engineers and technicians with core engineering skills across the economy, alongside an additional requirement for 79,000 ‘related’ roles requiring a mixed application of engineering knowledge and skill alongside other skill sets.A shortfall of between 37,000 and 59,000 in meeting the annual demand for core engineering roles requiring level 3+ skillsJob openings in engineering representing 17.1% of all vacancies (2.5 million), with just under 10% of these expected to be from expansion demandBetween 20, 13 million job openings will open up across the economy as a result of those who leave the labour market (replacement demand) and a further 1.8 million openings will arise from newly created jobs (expansion demand)WHY ARE ENGINEERS IN DEMAND? Despite Brexit and economic uncertainty, engineering and manufacturing remains a cornerstone to the UK economy, generating 21.4% (£1.2 trillion) of the UK’s £5.7 trillion GDP in 2018 (Engineering UK 2019). We're happy to help, but you're being very demanding for something you've stated you are potentially being paid for.Technology industry 4.0 engineering skills shortage What’s the reason for the shortage of engineers in the UK? An older VM will not load classes compiled for a newer version. The version of the classes is in the first few bytes. Also, don't assume the simplicity of your program will determine what version of Java it will run on.

Post what you want to have turned into an app. Also, you're soliciting something for-pay, which is forbidden here. You haven't provided the program you want app-ified, but I don't even know what you'll do once it is if it requires interaction in terminal.

#JAVA TRANSFERRED TO BEING ACCUSTOMED FOR MAC FORUM CODE#
The problem there is you would need to learn AppleScript, and potentially require the jar with your code to reside in a specific place. Potentially you could write an AppleScript that accepts all inputs via dialogs, then uses system to run your tool and collect the output, then display it. If it's a command line app, and your client doesn't want to use terminal, you're going to have problems.
