WES Fellowships

Fellowships recognise individuals who have made a significant and sustained contribution to engineering, supported the progression of women in STEM, or served the Women’s Engineering Society. It is open to women engineers, who may use the post-nominal FWES. Associate Fellowship is open to women who are not engineers and to men, with the post-nominal AFWES. Fellows act as ambassadors for improving diversity in engineering.
