Today is the day... Happy International Women's Day (IWD)! 💜

We’re excited to celebrate IWD by officially opening applications for the Young Woman Engineer (YWE) of the Year Awards 2025. 🌟

[The Institution of Engineering and Technology @TheIET]

These awards shine a spotlight on the next generation of female engineers, recognising their talent, innovation, and impact on the industry. If you or someone you know is making waves in engineering—whether through technological advancements, sustainability, or aerospace innovation—this is your chance to be celebrated.

UK scientists have developed a rapid DNA test to detect superbugs in just 48 hours—much quicker than traditional methods. 🧑‍🔬

This could revolutionise treatment, curb antibiotic resistance, and save lives.

As we approach International Women’s Day, we caught up with Marisa Kurimbokus, last year’s Young Women Engineer (YWE) Award winner, to hear how the award impacted her career.

“Winning this award was a huge honour—recognition of my achievements so far and my work in introducing students to STEM and supporting developing engineers.”

[The Institution of Engineering and Technology @TheIET]

That’s exactly why the YWE Awards exist: to highlight incredible female engineers, showcase their achievements, and create role models for future talent.

[The Institution of Engineering and Technology @TheIET]

On this day and ahead of World Engineering Day tomorrow, we celebrate the birthday of one of history’s greatest inventors, Alexander Graham Bell! 🎉

[The Institution of Engineering and Technology @TheIET]

While he’s best known for inventing the telephone, Bell’s innovations didn’t stop there. His groundbreaking work spanned optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, aeronautics, and even early sound recording. In 1876, he patented the first practical telephone, forever changing the way we communicate.📞
