With the number of job opportunities in recession-hit Britain decreasing, engineers are increasingly looking further afield for employment.rnThe most recent figures from the Office for National Statistics suggested that 207,000 Britons - one every three minutes - left in 2006.rnMeanwhile, according to researchers compiling a study for the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2008, there are now 3.247 million British-born people living abroad, ofrnwhom more than 1.1 million are highly skilled university graduates. On top of this, the OECD found that 28.5 per cent of these graduates were scientists or engineers.
