Women leading the way

Titi Oliyide CEng MIET won the IET Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award 2023. The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) celebrates the work of young women and helps change society’s perception of a male-led career by banishing outdated engineering stereotypes.

Adrienne Houston CEng MIET won the Gender Diversity Ambassador Award in recognition of her work in promoting engineering to young girls.

As well as putting the spotlight on talented women engineers, the awards seek to address the science and engineering skills crisis prevalent in the UK by promoting the profession to more young women. According to EngineeringUK, women make up only 16.5% of those working in engineering occupations.
