What will structural engineering practice look like in 10-15 years' time?

The Engineering Leadership Group has undertaken a review of the Institution’s Future of the Profession outputs. The purpose was to reassess whether previous technical priorities remain valid and to identify the key technical and strategic focus areas needed for structural engineers and the Institution over the next five years which were identified as AI and Data, resilience and systems thinking, MMC, climate action, evolving technical competence, and broader influence and horizons.

What role can engineers play in the push towards resilient sustainability? Dr Elisabeth Marlow shares her thoughts with Helena Russell.

Mike Bryans of the IStructE summarises the discussions from a recent event held as part of London Climate Action Week, highlighting the increasing need for designers to consider multi-hazard scenarios and for climate action to purse adaptation policies as well as mitigation.
