Top 50 Women In Engineering
Engineering
The Top 50 Women in engineering 2018 #WED50, was announced in the Sunday Telegraph supplement on 24th June. The list includes the UK's Top 50 female engineers making the biggest impact after a career change or break. They have been nominated for their achievements in the engineering sector after some time away. The winning women represent a broad range of routes into engineering covering careers in structural and electronic engineering, health, environment and academia.
Compiled in collaboration with the Women's Engineering Society (WES) the WE50 campaign, raises awareness of the skills shortage facing the industry and the huge discrepancy between the number of men vs. women currently in Engineering professions. The list features the UK's top rising female stars looking to change perceptions and encourage young women to consider Engineering as a viable and rewarding career.
It is no secret that the UK is struggling with a shortage of women in engineering, compared to the rest of the world. The recent publication of The Engineer's Salary Survey 2018, shows a real lack of gender diversity within 11 different sectors of engineering. With Brexit on the horizon, and salaries remaining static compared to last year we still see a huge disparity of pay between men and women engineers, progress is painfully slow.
Kirsten Bodley, chief executive of WES, the organisation that founded International Women in Engineering Day, said: “The nominations this year demonstrated the talent and determination of many inspirational women working in the engineering and allied sectors. It is wonderful to see how their skills support such a wide range of roles, career stages and routes. Congratulations to all who were nominated and to our winners.”
Benita Mehra, president of WES, commented: “As a returner and a transferrer, I thought my experiences were unique. I am sure there are many of us who operate in this sphere, just get on with it and have been successful in our own right. It is so good to see successful women returners and transferrers recognised. This is a fantastic tribute to worthy women who have often had to overcome hurdles along the way.”
