When you post in the community you’ll be able to assign topic tags to your content. The topics come from the Engineering Interests list in MyIET, and we’ve added a few to cover non-technical topics such as careers and volunteering. Tags display as a drop-down list but you can also start typing to search for the right tag.

If you are adding posts to the community on behalf of a technical network or for a specific event you could have standard tags to use, for example the Aerospace Technical Network may wish to tag all of their content ‘aerospace’, but you could also add other tags. For example a post about power systems in aerospace engineering could be tagged with both ‘aerospace’ and ‘power systems' and reach people interested in either or both topics.

Please only choose tags that relate to the content to ensure that topic search results return useful information.
