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

This Essential Knowledge Text provides an accessible introduction to one of the most important emerging themes in structural engineering. By understanding resilience, engineers can help ensure that the structures designed today continue to serve society safely and effectively in an uncertain future.

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.

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