What does a scientist or an engineer look like, to you?
A 2019 study of online search engines found that the most common image for the search term ‘engineer’ is a ‘white man wearing a hard hat’.
In 2018, a study in the United States found that more children are drawing women as scientists than ever before.
The truth is a scientist or engineer doesn’t have a certain ‘look’.
That’s why we created our ‘Many Faces’ campaign – to highlight some of our amazing students, staff, alumni and industry contacts and show that everyone belongs in these industries.
