Abstract

In this week’s EngShort we look at the lack of #womenengineers and what can be done to change this. #AdaLovelaceDay is an international celebration of the achievements of women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths careers, which takes place on the second Tuesday of every October. There is a lack of women in the #engineering and technology profession, so we ask why this is in our latest #EngShort video. We need to see more #WomenInSTEM and #WomenInTech, which will require a joint effort from Government, academia and industry.

Learn more in our IET Skills Survey that highlights facts and figures about engineering employees in the UK, as well as actions that need to take place to address them.
