Top 50 Influential Women in Engineering. In 2016 the Women's Engineering Society (WES), in collaboration with the Daily Telegraph, produced an inaugural list of the United Kingdom's Top 50 Influential Women in Engineering, which was published on National Women in Engineering Day on 23 June 2016. The event was so successful it became an annual celebration. The list was instigated by Dawn Bonfield MBE, then Chief Executive of the Women's Engineering Society. In 2019, WES ended its collaboration with the Daily Telegraph and started a new collaboration with The Guardian newspaper.

Since 2016 a new theme has been used each year to showcase the variety of roles within the engineering industry and champion even more women engineers. The themes have been as follows:

2024: Enhanced by Engineering
 2023: Safety and Security
 2022: Inventors and Innovators
 2021: Engineering Heroes
 2020: Sustainability
 2019: Apprentices and Former Apprentices
 2018: Returners and Transferrers
 2017: Most Influential Women in Engineering Under 35
 2016: Most Influential Women in Engineering

2016 Winners: Most Influential Women in Engineering
The judging panel was chaired by Dawn Bonfield MBE, and included Leon Krill from the Daily Telegraph, Allan Cook CBE, chairman of Atkins, Professor John Perkins, author of the Engineering Skills Survey from the University of Manchester, Fiona Tatton, editor of Womanthology and Michelle Richmond, director of membership and professional development at the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
