"We've a shortage of engineers…and that’s kinda scary” - @iamwill recognises the engineering skills shortage at @TheIET #WizardandRobots last night. That's why we launched @ThisIsEng, a campaign to change perceptions of engineering: https://t.co/tlVCgRsAfg #ThisisEngineering

From robotics to fashion, from design to sport - engineering is shaping the future all around us. Our website show young people how - have you visited yet? https://t.co/iBlFLqBb6P #ThisIsEngineering

New @ThisIsEng campaign is designed to reshape the perception of engineering, giving more young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to explore how they could follow what they love into a varied and fulfilling engineering career: https://t.co/RCCIDAxKfQ #ThisIsEngineering
