IET CHAMPIONS ENGINEER
MENTORING To mark his inauguration as the new president of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), professor Bob Cryan will use his year- long term of office to champion inspiring and mentoring the next generation of engineers to transform our world. He wants to encourage and inspire the
next generation by demonstrating how engineers are transforming our world, as well as shine a spotlight on the importance of mentorship and developing engineers as inclusive leaders. According to Cryan, engineers hold
the keys to the future of humanity and the IET has some of the best engineers in the world. “We have some incredible
programmes at the IET, from First Lego League and Faraday Challenge Days to our scholarships. These important initiatives to support the next generation all need funding and I hope to gain support throughout the year to continue this life-changing work,” he said.
During his term of office, he will also be driving forward positioning engineers as inclusive leaders, making use of their set of creative and analytical skills, intelligence, dependability and drive, to become outstanding leaders. Cryan is therefore encouraging IET members to invest in their leadership development.
❱❱ Grant will enable oil field service vessels to recharge from offshore wind farms
from across the UK to deliver feasibility studies and collaborative R&D projects in clean maritime systems. The MJR slice of funding will enable the
Teesside company to fast track the development and prototyping of its offshore charging technology, which will now allow SOVs and platform supply vessels (PSVs) to connect in the field to a 100 per cent green energy source generated directly by the offshore wind turbines for the efficient, safe and reliable transfer of power. In March, the UK Shipping Office for
Reducing Emissions announced the biggest government investment ever in the UK commercial maritime sector, allocating £206m to focus on decarbonising the maritime sector.
