Help inform our next campaign

Natalie Boon

Hi everyone!

Hope you're safe and well.

We champion equality, diversity and inclusion here at the IET - and frequently run campaigns to challenge outdated stereotypes and make our profession a more welcoming and inclusive place.

We're starting work on our next campaign - and we need your help!

Our focus for this phase is on how we can take real, tangible steps to unite our community to make engineering and technology a career path that is accessible to everyone.

So, what’s your experience? Tell us by adding your thoughts below.

We want to hear from everyone, and we mean everyone. We believe that continuing to thrive in this sector can only happen if we all connect and work together, and that means we need all viewpoints – positive, negative, and even the grey area in between!

So whether you have had good or bad experiences, whatever your background, and whether you identify with different protected characteristics or not – we want to hear from you.

And if you’re comfortable sharing your thoughts in a little more detail, we’re looking for a broad mix of individuals to be interviewed in the next few weeks. You can submit your details for consideration via this link.

And if you would prefer to remain anonymous but still have a viewpoint you’d like to share – no problem! You can send us your thoughts using this form instead.

Thank you in advance for your support.

    Hello all. Whilst we do welcome and encourage an honest and frank exchange of views, may I please remind you to be civil and respectful of the opinions of others. 

    Hi Elizabeth

    Totally agree. I was trying to reply to Rob Eagle but the post has been removed. I'm including my response as it does address his negative comments in a civil way.

     

    The poster mentioned expresses Twitter-length contrarian comments on a variety of issues. On another thread, he is currently casting doubt that anthropogenic CO2 emissions contribute to global warming, something that has been established science for 125 years. 

    One should perhaps be aware of the existence of bots. I have been encountering them regularly on my excursions into Usenet and then Internet discussion groups for 35 years. They have been around since the late 1960's, but then until into the mid-1990's, when the WWW took off, they were mainly a matter of AI research. There are bots active in these forums also. Most forum bots are not very sophisticated.

    Most of the important issues in this world cannot be effectively discussed in Twitter-length to's and fro's. The relative lack of women in engineering is one such.
