About E4E

Mission Statement

Education for Engineering works to inform education policy and practice by:

• initiating and contributing to policy debates

• providing decision-makers with high quality information and analysis

• ensuring that all learners are enabled to make connections across areas of learning that support an education for engineering

• highlighting the needs of future engineers and routes into engineering that are open to all

Policy Group

Chaired by Dick Olver FREng, membership is drawn from the Chief Executives of the Professional Engineering Institutions, the Engineering Council, Engineering UK and The Royal Academy of Engineering.

The Policy Group meets three times a year. The Policy Group provides a co-ordinated voice on education for the engineering profession and seeks to influence Government and opinion-formers on issues of education for engineering.

As appropriate, it endorses, commits to and acts on the advice of the E4E Operational Group.

Operational Group

Chaired by Doug Oughton FREng, membership has been agreed with the 36 professional engineering institutions. Members are the individuals that hold education and skills briefs for their organisation.

The Operational Group is a forum for discussion on education policy matters in order to develop well-considered and consensual policy positions on behalf of the profession for consideration and action by the Policy Group.

The Operational Group meets three times a year and utilises working groups as required.
