摘要

As the country strives to emerge from recession and with a general election imminent, it is time for professional engineers to play their part in making the case that engineering is, and must be seen to be, at the heart of our national success.rnWhat your profession is doing:rnThe leaders of the professional engineering community - The Royal Academy of Engineering, the Engineering Institutions and EngineeringUK - are working closely together to promote the importance of engineering to political leaders, policy makers and the public. This is a short term, urgent challenge if we are to build the productive industries necessary for a balanced and successful economy. It is also a long-term goal if we are to deliver solutions to the great challenges of our day, high quality and rewarding employment for the next generation of young people and prosperity for the nation.
