Press Release 2017 v4.docx
We exist to support the professional development of local engineers and to raise the profile of engineering in general.
At present, the committee is based in Plymouth, but we have ambitious plans to expand our activities across the Area. This year we are focusing on developing our Cornwall Branch.
We organise a broad portfolio of events to support your professional development... ...and hopefully to have some fun too! If you have an idea for an event, we would love to hear it . If you are planning an engineering-related event of your own and would like some support, just ask. Our next few events are displayed below, but the full list is in our diary.
Almost all of our events are FREE and OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. You do not have to be an engineer to attend - just keen to make friends and learn something new! There is no age limit either - everyone is welcome.
To find out more about us, come along to one of our meetings, or contact us.
We hope to see you at a local event soon!
