Leaders in engineering pave the way for transformation not just in their field, but in the world at large. The progress engineers make pushes the boundaries of what’s believed possible, shaping how we think, live, work and create. So, it deserves recognition.
Each year, our Excellence Awards bring the engineering community together to honour its greatest achievements. These are the people and projects that propel us forward and make us proud to call ourselves engineers.
