Where is the IET going?

The IET on Twitter is mostly about women in engineering and it appears we also have or have had an Executive member who represents the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE-UK). Since when did we get away and direct our selves at subsections of the organization? There is no minorities that I am aware of in the IET at least not because of bias in any way shape of form. The same goes for women in engineering, no one is biased against them. Low numbers are because they dont want to be in engineering..

Where is the IET heading? It does not seem to be going in a place most of the member wold probably want or is it?

    What is the IET's position on a trans-female/trans-male for entering the YWE competition (I don't expect you to answer that; and for the record I do know such an individual).




     One of the best engineers the country has produced is Sophie Wilson.   The work she did at Acorn and being co-creator of the ARM processor is legendary.   And I believe she has also contributed to the Raspberry Pi too.   She is someone the IET should be celebrating.


    Otherwise, the reference to Young Engineer that's not an IET award though, is it?
