The Young Engineering Professionals Conference is a one-day annual conference focusing on the future of engineering, promoting multi-disciplinary working to reach our shared goals. Last year our opening key note was given by Warren East, now CEO of Rolls Royce.

Join us in discussing the societal challenges facing the engineering sector and exploring, with the other young engineers present, how the ‘Internet of Things’ might resolve various aspects such as:

Smart Cities

Smart Health

Smart Transport

Energy Efficiency

There will also be opportunities to interact with other engineers on career and professional issues.

    Kris Harrison

    Selex ES, Head of Lean Engineering

    Alongside her main role, Kris chose to lead the outreach programme at the Luton site. In the past 3 years she has changed the mix of partnered schools to attract a more diverse range of students in terms of gender, socio-economic background and ethnicity. Kris’s efforts have seen the number of girls on the work experience scheme rise by more than 250%.To mark National Women’s Engineering Day, Kris invited 40 year 7 girls from a deprived area of Luton on site. By the end of the day, 65% had decided they want to be an engineer. Kris’s approachable and enthusiastic manner makes her a role model for young women at Selex ES and girls thinking about careers in STEM. Anna, a graduate engineer at Selex, describes Kris as a positive role model: “Her senior position within the company at a young age shows it is possible to succeed and while she has a lot of responsibility, she is very approachable and makes time for people.”
