  Young Woman Engineer (YWE)
  Since 1978 the IET has awarded the Young Woman Engineer award to top female engineers in the UK to recognize the contribution they make and to encourage young women and girls to consider engineering as a career.  The award was created as part of an initiative to address the shortage of women in engineering roles.
