Share your knowledge

Seen something that's piqued your interest? The discussion forums are a great place to chat all things technical with your peers. When creating your post, mark it as a discussion and add a relevant tag to make sure it reaches people following the topic.

Share your musings, observations, or professional stories in a blog post. If you're a member of the IET you already have blogging access, but anyone with a good story to tell is welcome to submit a blog post. Just contact the admins to discuss

Answer questions - any post with a grey question mark doesn't yet have a helpful answer. Can you provide one? Select your specialism when setting up your profile and we'll make it easy for you to see open questions from fellow engineers that match your area of expertise.  

Looking for advice?
