    Women in Engineering

    By St Eds,

    13th April 2018
    According to the Women’s Engineering Society only 11% of the engineering workforce in the UK are female. The UK has the lowest percentage of female engineering professionals in Europe also.

    There are many different sections of engineering:

    ·         Construction

    ·         Aerospace

    ·         Mechanics

    ·         Physics

    ·         Civil

    Engineering is all around us. Engineers build our cars, houses, phones, roads, skyscrapers and so on. They are the reason for Earth’s success. As Roma Agrawal states:

    “Engineering is an intrinsic and intimate part of our existence, shaping the spaces in which we reside. We cannot live without it”.

    Many people ask the question ‘what is engineering?’. Watch the short video below to understand exactly how diverse the engineering industry really is.

    A role model that St Edmunds Society has discovered for women wanting to get into the industry is Roma Agrawal. Roma is a Structural Engineer and STEM Promoter (she worked heavily on the Shard in London).

    Roma is involved in structural engineering and has engineered skyscrapers. Take a look at the video from the BBC One Show on the wind effect of large, towering buildings.

    Are you a male or female aged between 16-19 and interested in the world of engineering?

    Why not start off and train with us on mechanical engineering with motorcycles. It would be an excellent progression route if you are wanting a career in any of the above industries.

    Get in contact with us now on 01603 622035 or Amanda.bowie@st-eds.org.uk
