A team of top students from Immanuel CE College in Thackley, near Shipley, have been picked to work with the National Grid and Transco on a real-live engineering project.
The students are taking part in a national Engineering Education Scheme to hone the skills of the engineers of the future.
Each school team will work with local firms and university experts to "achieve elegant engineering solutions" and find better ways of doing things that could add thousands to companies' profits.
The Immanuel students will be working on a project to help ensure the supply of electricity and gas to residents in Bradford.
The group - Vicky Singleton, Andrew Walker, Liam Chadney, Jonathan Haxby and Richard Keighley -went to the programme launch at the National Space Centre, Leicester, where they had to produce nose cones for a Rolls Royce jet engine.
The Engineering Education Scheme is run by the Royal Academy of Engineering and has, since 1984, provided more than 12,000 young people with an insight into the world of engineering. The experience helps students decide whether to go into engineering as a profession.
The Academy believes many of those who take part are future engineers, scientists and technologists, who will make a substantial contribution to industry and the UK economy.
