Today is the Royal Academy of Engineering's #NationalEngineeringDay. It is a day that aims to make engineering and the UK's engineers more visible, celebrating how we improve everyday lives and shape the world around us for the better ❤️. More importantly, it’s about inspiring the next generation to choose a career in Engineering.    #EngineeringRoleModels #engineering

Tomorrow’s Engineers Week 2024 runs from 11th – 15 November, with this year’s theme “Power up your Passion” encouraging engineers to think about their passions and how these led to their career in engineering. As you can see from the responses from some of our engineers, pursuing a career in engineering can stem for a wide variety of interests!

Since 2019, the Royal Academy of Engineering has led a national awareness day to raise public awareness of how engineers make a difference in the world and celebrate how engineers shape the future. The theme for National Engineering Day 2024 is ‘engineering role models’. We'd love to know who you think is an inspirational engineer? #Engineeringat365 #365People #NationalEngineeringDay 

🌟 Calling engineering employers in Cheshire and Warrington! 🌟 EngineeringUK predicts we'll need thousands of new engineers with higher technical skills in the next decade. Our region is driving innovation, but skills shortages are limiting growth. This is where Cheshire and Warrington Institute of Technology comes in. Together we're: ➡️ Delivering industry-designed HNCs, HNDs & Level 4/5 qualifications ➡️ Creating talent pipelines for engineering and digital manufacturing ➡️ Investing in state-of-the-art facilities across our partner colleges We need more employer partners to help shape our programmes and develop a pipeline of highly skilled engineers.

✨ National Engineering Day 2024: Engineering an Inclusive Future ✨ Today, we celebrate engineers who shape our world and inspire future generations. Did you know that only 15.7% of the UK’s engineering workforce are women and 11.4% are from minority ethnic backgrounds, there’s a clear need for more young people to see themselves in engineering. This year’s theme, Who do you look up to?, is all about recognising role models who inspire the next generation. Today, The Royal Academy of Engineering is unveiling art installations created by Kelly Anna, showcasing engineers as diverse role models. Nominated by the Academy network, 80 individuals were put forward, with the final figures selected by a panel and featured in stunning installations, including a larger-than-life sculpture, celebrating their contributions to diversity and innovation. We were absolutely thrilled to have had the Royal Academy of Engineering as a partner at Advanced Engineering 2024, where they truly showcased the inspiring power of engineering. It was a privilege to welcome students and apprentices who were eager to connect with industry professionals and gain valuable insights. Events like this give young people a chance to meet real-world role models and see first-hand the incredible opportunities that await them in the industry. Let’s keep inspiring the next generation to bring their unique talents to this dynamic field and help shape a better, more inclusive future. 🌍💡 Find out more about the Royal Academy of Engineering and #NationalEngineeringDay 👉 https://bit.ly/3YPrkEu #EngineeringForAll #AEUK25 #STEM #ukmfg #EngineeringRoleModels

National Engineering Day 2024 Led by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), National Engineering Day aims to make engineering and the UK’s engineers more visible. Yesterday was celebration of how engineers enhance our daily lives and help shape the future. This year’s theme for National Engineering Day is engineering role models. Research shows that engineering-specific role models are a strong influencing factor on young people to choose engineering. It is important that we are seeking role models to inspire the next generation to take on these careers. Many engineers find inspiration through family, teachers, or prominent figures in their lives. They can also come from childhood experiences, such as building projects or workshops, which can spark an interest in solving problems and making a positive contribution to society. In relation to the RAEng collecting nominations for the best engineering role models, we asked a few of our employees the question; who inspired you to be who you are today? We got answers of their parents, grandparents, tutors, and friends, all influencing them to take the path of engineering. It is imperative we draw attention to these inspirational figures, and encourage young people to achieve their ambitions. #NationalEngineeringDay #NationalEngineeringDay2024 #YoungTalent #Teesside #Skills #Future #Growth

National Engineering Day 2024! To honour our engineers past, present, and future, we asked our own engineers to tell us about who inspires them to be the engineer they are today. For more more about our engineering courses, click the link in our bio… #NationalEngineeringDay #ProudtobeSurrey

Our October issue of Engage is now available summarising all the headline news from the previous couple of months. Highlights include: 🔹 The publication of our updated Guide to Professional Registration, offering the latest guidance on how to achieve professional registration as an engineer or technician. 🔹 The Engineering Council signing a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with the USA’s National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) establishing a streamlined process for recognising professional engineering qualifications between the UK and the USA. 🔹 The publication of the Grenfell Tower Phase 2 report, the final report of the public inquiry into the systemic failings that contributed to the loss of so many lives back in 2017. The report makes further recommendations to strengthen regulation and improve systems and the EngC remains committed to working with Government and the professional engineering community to uphold and promote the highest standards of competence for all engineers and technicians. This includes the publishing in November 2023 of UK-SPEC HRB, a contextualised version of the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence and Commitment (UK-SPEC) that sets out specifically the competences required for professional engineers working on higher-risk buildings. 🔹 News from the Royal Academy of Engineering including our congratulations to those registrants who have been elected as RAEng Fellows and notice that nominations for the Academy’s 2025 Major Project Award for Sustainability and the Princess Royal Silver Medal are now open. 🔹 National Engineering Day, led by the Royal Academy of Engineering, on 13 November which this year focuses on role models. The day aims to make engineering and the UK’s engineers more visible and is a celebration of how engineers enhance our daily lives and help shape a better world. 🔹 The 2024 Women's Engineering Society (WES) Lottie Tour campaign which takes the ‘Lottie’ doll to various locations and aims to inspire and encourage careers in engineering and STEM subjects to be open to everyone. 🔹 The launch of a new online Mental Health Check-In tool by Foothold, the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Benevolent Fund, aimed at enhancing mental health support within the engineering community. 🔹 Data from BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT that shows the number of women choosing to study computer science at degree level in the UK has increased and that the gender gap in computing is gradually narrowing, with the male-to-female ratio now falling below 4:1. https://lnkd.in/e5R8g4ny https://lnkd.in/e78JM2PF
