The Engineering Council extends its congratulations to the registrants who are among the winners of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) annual Top 50 Women in Engineering awards (WE50), announced on International Women in Engineering Day (INWED).

This year’s theme, Enhanced by Engineering celebrates the inspiring women who have significantly influenced technology, sustainability, and society. It also highlights how engineering improves our lives and underscores the vital role of diversity in driving innovation.

By achieving professional registration, these engineers have demonstrated their competence and commitment to internationally recognised standards. This includes a dedication to professional standards, ethical practice, and recognising their obligations to society, the profession, and the environment.
