This year we will be celebrating engineers across the country who are working on projects and products that are improving lives.
1 November 2023 is National Engineering Day (formerly This is Engineering Day),
a day that aims to make the UK’s engineers and engineering more visible and celebrate
how they improve everyday lives and shape the world around us.
We’ve changed the name to broaden the appeal of the day and reach partners and audiences who aren’t familiar with the This is Engineering campaign. National Engineering Day remains firmly part of the This is Engineering, with the aim of attracting public and media attention, sparking a conversation about what engineering really looks like and changing public perceptions of the profession.

The This Is Engineering image library
A free image library to demonstrate the diversity of the engineering profession. Specifically, the images will depict engineers (particularly those from underrepresented groups) at work – whether that’s in a lab, on a filmset, in the music studio, testing materials, playing with a robot or tinkering with bikes in a velodrome. Above all, these new images will challenge the stereotype, visually presenting engineers and engineering in a way that will surprise and delight the public.
