Anniversaries of any kind are always a good time to take stock. And with 2016 marking the 160th anniversary of The Engineer, we thought it was time for a bit of a freshen up.
Our editorial remit remains the same: to report on technological innovation across all of the key sectors and to champion UK engineering. And popular regular features like our online polls and classic archive content, as well as the ability to engage in lively debate with your colleagues, will remain at the heart of the site.
All of our content remains free to view. However, to post comments, both new and existing users will need to take a couple of minutes to register and sign in.
