RAEng announces 2020 This is Engineering day

Working with EngineeringUK and partners across the profession, the initiative is central to the Academy’s This is Engineering campaign to give more young people, from all backgrounds, the opportunity to take up engineering careers. This is Engineering Day, which will take part on Wednesday 4th November 2020, will form a key part of Tomorrow’s Engineers Week 2020.

This is Engineering Day 2020 will be themed ‘Be the difference’ and engineering companies, organisations and individual engineers are all invited to get involved and think of ways in which they can showcase how engineers make a difference – online, on social media or via events and engagement activities.

To coincide with the first UN World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development, a new season of This is Engineering films has been launched, focusing on nine real-life engineering heroes whose work helps make a difference in the world: from mitigating flooding and addressing climate change to making farming easier and improving healthcare.
