Future Students

Supporting and inspiring high school students to consider an exciting career in engineering.

Women in Engineering run events throughout the year for high school students, high school teachers, university students, industry professionals and alumni.
We talk to industry professionals, current engineering students and educators from across the engineering sector and ask the big questions: What does a career in engineering look like?
We encourage and support students to embrace the challenges of a changing world, in a way that benefits their career, the industry, and communities all over the world.
