Who We Are

Why the future of Engineering™

Countless aspects of our everyday lives are supported by engineering; engineers are always looking for ways to make everyday life better for their fellow human beings. With the rapid rate at which changes are taking place in the world today, we need to stay focused to be ahead of the curve, and this is especially true in the engineering world. While it’s an exciting industry to work in, the engineering sector isn’t without its challenges.

It’s no secret that the engineering industry is struggling against a widespread skill and staff shortage. The need for skilled engineers has never been as pressing as it is today. Technology is developing rapidly, and the global population is growing apace.

It is in the hands of current and future engineers to maintain and sustain many crucial aspects of our lives. The future is dependent on its engineers and with this in mind The Future of Engineering™ was created. The co-founders Denise Cárdenas López and Bali Battu are passionate engineers who both share the same vision of keeping engineering alive, innovating through engineering and driving global change.

The Future of Engineering™ is a collaborative platform where members, partners and volunteers can join a network of likeminded engineers, whose mission is to take a greater role in the global transformation needed to support economies.

The platform provides the tools to further advance your careers and have access to powerful resources to equip you with the tools you need to make an impact in your organisations and/or communities. We truly believe in The Future of Engineering™ .
