Abstract

At a spectacular awards ceremony in central London, the IET announced the winner of its awards for inspiring female engineer - Orla Murphy, Audio Engineer at Jaguar Land Rover

In the coming months, you will see Orla promoting engineering as a career to girls and young people generally. This work is vital, particularly in the UK, as women represent just 9% of the engineering workforce.
