Contrary to the stereotype, a quick comparison of @Belongeng participant data with an Australian study (Zacher, 2014) reveals that engineers are actually very similar on an extraversion/introversion scale – just like everyone else. 😉 #EngineeringMythsBusted #BeyondTheStereotype"

We’ve just published a classification of 86 engineering activities, linked to 17 engineering competencies and the 11 IEA graduate attributes. It's a game-changer to better understand what engineers do, and will underpin research in the @BeLongEng project. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
A taxonomy of common engineering activities and competencies

A taxonomy of common engineering activities and competencies

In this paper, we address the lack of a unified approach to understanding engineering practice by developing and presenting a taxonomy of common engineering activities. The taxonomy consists of 86 ...

Engineering's stuck in a gender crisis – we need to fix it

OPINION: More than 40% of women who enter the engineering sector will leave, so here's a short list of practical steps to rebalance the scales.

Yes @EndaCrossin, we have no direct exposure to Russia. Last week we divested what was a very small indirect exposure, held through one of our external managers. #нетвойне #СлаваУкраїні

Teams went down earlier today. That's a shame; it resulted in a marked increase in productivity!

You would think by now we'd understand what #engineers do! In reality, we still don't really know! The @BeLongEng Project is on a mission to find out. If you are keen to help, spend some time over lunch testing our survey: belongeng.org/pilot
