Happy International Women in Engineering Day! #INWED has become a platform to showcase the incredible work of women engineers worldwide. Each year events and activities are organised across the globe to raise the profile of women in engineering, acting as a source of encouragement and support, empowering female engineers to reach their potential. This day not only celebrates the achievements of women in engineering, it inspires young professionals and aspirational engineers alike.
Despite the progress made, engineering remains a male-dominated industry, with only 16.5% of engineers in the UK being female. INWED aims to provide a platform for female engineers, playing a crucial role in encouraging young women to pursue engineering. This year our theme is #EnhancedByEngineering – profiling the best, brightest and bravest women in engineering, who have enhanced people’s everyday lives and are helping to build towards a brighter future.
As we delve into the rich history of International Women in Engineering Day, let us remember the trailblazing women who have shaped the engineering world and continue to inspire the next generation of engineers. By working together, we can work towards a more inclusive and diverse future in engineering, fostering an environment where women can thrive and contribute their unique talents to an ever evolving field that has the potential to change lives for the better.
