We celebrate International Women in Engineering Day 2024, organised by Women's Engineering Society on June 23. As a business, we strive to increase diversity and encourage more women to pursue careers in engineering, making this an important day.
This year’s theme focused on the best, brightest, and bravest women in engineering, who have ‘Enhanced by engineering’ people’s everyday lives and are helping to build a brighter future.
We asked some of our female engineers from across EMEIA what ‘Enhanced by Engineering’ means to them.
Thandiwe Nyawose, Graduate R&D Engineer, South Africa:
“To me, ‘Enhanced by engineering’ highlights the significant impact and transformative power the engineering sector has all around the world for the improvement of people's livelihoods.”
Aarti Patil, Specification Writer, India:
“Ultimately, ‘Enhanced by engineering’ is about making a difference. It's about knowing that the work I do helps provide better specification and service that improve people's lives. It’s a reminder that engineering is not just a profession but a powerful tool for positive change in the world.”
Carla Afonso, Chief Operations Officer, Portugal:
“In engineering, we are always accumulating knowledge, experience, and solutions to face the challenges that arise at every moment, and this is what, being ‘Enhanced by engineering’ means to me.”
Engineering has always been a male-dominated sector, but we are proud and encouraged to welcome more women into the industry. Engineering is not just a profession but a powerful tool for positive change, and female engineers certainly play an important role in this.
