2022 Young Woman Engineer Finalists

Meet our 2022 finalists

Five young women engineers have been announced as this year’s YWE finalists.

These prestigious engineering industry awards celebrate women working in modern engineering - and aim to help change the perception that engineering is predominantly a career for men by banishing outdated engineering stereotypes of hard hats and dirty overalls.
