IES SURVEY: Help us unlock the future of engineering!
 
Dear IES Members and Student Members

As you may have heard, IES is undertaking a Repositioning Project to better face the challenges ahead in supporting engineers and promoting engineering. We would like to invite you to participate in a survey to help us understand current perceptions of IES and the profession, and to chart our future direction.

The survey will close on 9 Oct 2020 (Fri) and takes about eight minutes to complete. Please also spread it to your contacts who are non-IES members, parents, teachers, or fellow students, as we wish to obtain insights from outside our community too. Thank you.
