Women in engineering

The under-representation of women in engineering and technology jobs is clear for all to see.  Many Science, Engineering & Technology employers are keen to address the shortage of females in SET careers. Below are some great examples of employers that are seeking to address the imbalance in the engineering industry.

The IET continues to work with industry, government and academia to engage and influence females with the purpose of promoting careers in science, engineering and technology - and to actively encourage women onto the engineering profession. 

The IET's Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards seeks to reward and recognise women in engineering.  For more information about the award, how to nominate a colleague or to apply yourself, see our Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards site.

With thanks to the 2012 headline sponsors of The Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards 2012 for their support – BP, EADS, GCHQ, Intel, Ofcom, National Grid, Royal Air Force, RS Components, Selex Galileo, Siemens, Transport for London and Virgin Media.
