Examining challenges faced by engineering

The Parliamentary Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee recently held a session to hear evidence relating to its inquiry into engineering.

The professional engineering community was represented at the session by Keith Read, chairman of the Engineering Institutions Chief Executives Committee; Philip Greenish, chief executive, Royal Academy of Engineering; Andrew Ramsay, chief executive, Engineering Council UK; and Sir Anthony Cleaver, chairman, Engineering and Technology Board.

The submitted written evidence provides an overview of UK engineering and the challenges it faces, and makes recommendations on what additionally can be done to maximise the contribution of engineering and engineers to meeting these challenges.

John Long, chief executive of IHEEM, has been fully involved in the drafting process of the submission and provided endorsement of the final version before it was submitted to the IUS Committee as written evidence.
