Engineers Declare: setting the scene
Entry criteria have been revised in the light of the climate emergency, asking every submission to clearly demonstrate its sustainability credentials.
Prof. Don McQuillan FIStructE, the 100th President of the Institution, lays out the challenges facing the profession in his talk ‘2020 vision: “for an understanding of the future, look to the past”’

These challenges can only be addressed if engineers and architects actively include them at the source of their designs.
