How long is the survey open?
The survey was launched on 24 June 2019 as part of the centenary celebrations of the Women’s Engineering Society. It will remain open for around four months to ensure that there is a large response from across the many sectors in which engineers work and that there is time for word of mouth to spread news of the survey. Initial results will be published in late 2019/early 2020.

If you are working as an engineer we want to hear from you whatever the subjects of your qualifications.
Who is eligible to complete the survey?
