International Women in Engineering Day

It’s International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), celebrating the amazing work women engineers around the world are doing to support lives and livelihoods every day.

Figures as of June 2021 show that 16.5% of engineers are women in the UK. INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented in their professions. As the only platform of its kind, it plays a vital role in encouraging more young women and girls to take up engineering careers.

To mark INWED, we’re celebrating our women engineers from across Chemring who make a difference every day by solving some of the most challenging problems and helping turn ideas into reality.
