Fellows
This is our highest grade of membership. Fellowships are awarded to individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the field of engineering or a related sector, to the sustained encouragement of women in STEM, or in service to the Women’s Engineering Society. Fellowships are open to women engineers who are entitled to the post nominal FWES. Associate Fellowships are open to women who are not engineers and men who are entitled to the post nominal AFWES. Our Fellows act as ambassadors for the promotion of improved diversity in engineering. The annual cost of Fellowship is £100 per annum, with a concessionary rate of £50 for unemployed, members on maternity leave and retired members.
