Make a difference

We provide a framework and facilitate opportunities to:

Inspire the next generation

If you’re interested in introducing engineering and its career possibilities to young people, then get involved with the work of our education team.

You could support engineering challenges for schoolchildren such as our Faraday Challenge Days or FIRST® LEGO® League competition.

Then again, inspiring future generations doesn’t have to involve going into schools. You could, for instance, join our Awards and Prizes Committee and decide on winners who will go on to become ambassadors for the profession.

You could also become an assessor and review potential Fellowship applications.

Inform engineers and the public

Draw on your expertise to inform engineers, academics and employers - and help us to raise standards within the profession. You might, for example, advise engineers and technicians on achieving professional registration with the Engineering Council.

Or you could advise potential Fellows on how to make the best of their application. Alternatively, you could be a guest speaker on conference panels and roundtable discussions or even speaking to university students as a role model, sharing your technical knowledge with the engineering community.

Or if you’re keen to bring engineering and technology issues to public attention and change perceptions of the profession, we provide opportunities to become one of our media spokespeople.
