The Women in Engineering Group is a new group to bring together undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and staff. We aim to support women through informal mentoring and networking to promote your professional development. The events will occur once per term.
Find out more about some of our female engineers and their experiences of and motivations for working in engineering. We hope that you will find their profiles of interest and will help you to understand a bit more about what we do, why we do it, and why engineering is such a great career choice.
"The work of an engineer is varied and intellectually stimulating. I can recommend engineering as a career choice for anyone with a curious mind and a willingness to learn."
"In my up-to-date career, I have never regretted my decision, feeling very satisfied with being a chemical engineer. It is a path that brought so many opportunities, including travelling around the world and collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds."
"My father was an engineer and I have always had an interest in how things work. After working in education for several years, and a period of self-employment, I decided to change career and returned to university as a mature student."
"The main goal of this proof-of-concept study is to design a system that is capable of detecting simultaneously neutron and gamma ray sources with high efficiency and high spatial resolution."
"I have always been fascinated by how things work, how things are made, and why. I am creative and I love to build things and get my hands dirty!"
"The project that I am working on now is very exciting: designing a free electron laser (FEL) machine for industrial applications.”
