Each year the IET Young Professionals holds the Engineering Challenge where our guest speaker presents on a trending topic and is then judge as the attendees compete in a small challenge to win a prize and the winner's trophy.
This year we have Dr Alison Vincent, CTA from Cisco Video Technology Group who will speak on the breakthrough Internet of Things (IoT).

As a professional engineer, you'll need to be an excellent team worker. This project gives you the opportunity to put those skills into practice. It's also a chance to learn more about yourself and become a confident engineer.
You'll collaborate with engineers across all disciplines – just as you would in industry – and learn to think outside your specialism. As you research and present ideas, you'll improve your skills in communicating and solving complex problems. Throughout, you'll be thinking about issues from a global perspective.
