Existing Practice Case Studies

A number of institutions throughout the United Kingdom have been doing their own work with regards to a gender balance in their undergraduate engineering population. In this section the Balance Project has interviewed the members of each University who are responsible for these activities and documented them. Please use the links below to read each report or download the PDF version.

At this time there is only one case study available for viewing, please check this page regularly for more case studies

Personal Profiles

The engineering industry has for years had a bad reputation and stereotypical image of dirty, boring work. In this section a member of the Balance team has interviewed women and men who have worked, or are currently working, in the engineering industry and documented their history. For privacy reasons the names of all people and companies have been removed from the reports.

At this time there is only one profile available for viewing, please check this page regularly for more profiles

National Initiatives

There are a number of initiatives undertaken by various organisations and charities across the United Kingdom, and some from further afield, that are working to increase the popularity of engineering, change it's image or support those already in it. In this section Balance has provided a link to almost thirty initiatives and provided a brief description of each one.
