<p>The aim of the Year of Engineering 2018 is to widen the pool of young people that consider engineering as a career, particularly girls, black, Asian, and ethnic minority groups and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p><p> </p><p>Throughout the year, we will challenge stereotypes by making engineering relevant to ‘people like me’. We have already made great progress by securing the support of a diverse range of engineering role models, ambassadors and influencers to work with throughout the year.</p><p> </p><p>It is incredibly important that this diversity is reflected in the panellists and speakers at events. We will endeavour to ensure that people from a wide range of backgrounds, including women engineers and spokespeople are at the forefront of the debate wherever possible.</p> |
