From inspirational talks and competitions to awards and unlikely partnerships – we commemorated our rich history and the impact engineering and technology have on the world around us through a variety of celebrations with international members, volunteers, partners and friends.
It was also a fantastic opportunity to take STEM beyond our normal communities; sharing the possibilities it can offer with wider society and changing the narrative on what being an engineer really means.
A look back at the IET’s 150th anniversary
Professor Danielle George, president during our 150th anniversary year, takes a look back on our celebrations, the many Difference Makers we met and the legacy IET@150 leaves.
A brief history
Here are a few of the things we got up to during our anniversary year...
Celebrating difference makers
We recognised the people changing our world, using engineering and technology to make a difference every day, through a variety of activities – including Danielle’s Presidential talk; exhibitions, talks and archive projects; and an entire movement to inspire Gen Z to see STEM differently.
