RAEng launches National Engineering Day

To be held on November 2 in 2022, the day aims to make the profession more visible and showcase how engineers are shaping the world. The Academy is calling on the engineering community to get involved with the event.

This year’s National Engineering Day will focus on how engineers are improving lives — from the small enhancements that make  everyday lives better, to the innovations that are helping to tackle the biggest issues facing the world today.

Businesses and individuals are encouraged to get involved on November 2 using the hashtag #NationalEngineeringDay, by sharing a social post, video or case study highlighting how they are improving lives.

The Academy has produced a community toolkit outlining all the ways that companies can participate in the celebration. It will also be releasing research, showcasing case studies and linking up with surprise guests on National Engineering Day.

“As world leaders prepare to gather at COP27, November 2022 marks a perfect point for us all to reflect on the skills needed to tackle the problems we face right now and how we can build a better future together,” said Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, CEO of the Royal Academy of Engineering.
