Online images reinforce engineering stereotypes

Reading an article on E&T online about online images reinforcing engineering stereotypes so I thought I'd take a bit of a look at some of the Free stock photography sites, use the search term of 'Engineer' and have a look at the types of photos that come up in the results.


Really pleased to say that there was a HUGE amount of images depicting women in Engineering available (out of the 25 top images over 15 of them had women in them) which leads me to think that its those working in Brand Marketing that need to be taught to break out of the stereotypes?

  • Historically we didn't have hard hats or any PPE.  That's why my hearing is destroyed!  the first  Health and Safety at Work Act came out in 1974 so before then there was no legal requirement for PPE
