The IET’s Young Woman Engineer of the Year Awards have been celebrating women working in modern engineering for more than 40 years and aim to help change the perception that engineering is predominantly a career for men, by banishing outdated engineering stereotypes of hard hats and greasy pipes.

There are thousands of women engineers doing amazing things – from advancements in healthcare technology to space exploration, and the IET’s YWE awards are all about showcasing the best women engineering talent in this country, hopefully encouraging the next generation to get excited about the possibilities of an engineering career.

The IET wants to make it clear that engineering is a fantastic career for women. Outdated views and stereotypes are damaging to the industry, especially when there is a significant shortage of engineers, which poses a serious threat to the economy. It’s vital we champion engineering – it’s a diverse, creative and exciting career, which offers the opportunity to do something life – or even – world changing. It’s also really important to see the benefits that come from a diverse workforce including a wider talent pool, improved creativity and providing more role models to inspire the next generation.
