The UK’s eight leading engineering
organisations have launched a call
for action to ensure that engineering
makes the maximum contribution to
solving Britain’s biggest challenges:
economy, environment, education,
infrastructure and public services.

“Engineering the future of the UK –
a vision for the future of UK
engineering” is published by
Engineering The Future, a collective
body made up of the Engineering
Council, EngineeringUK, the
Institution of Civil Engineers, the
Institution of Chemical Engineers,
the Institution of Engineering and
Technology, the Institution of
Mechanical Engineers, the Institute
of Physics, and the Royal Academy of
Engineering.

The overarching theme is that
the UK is not fully leveraging the
potential of engineering and that
radical change is required.

Government must play a central role.

These recommendations are partyneutral
and discussions are taking
place with each of the main political
parties as they prepare their
manifestoes.
