We are delighted to begin 2025 with an exciting collaboration event, bringing together the Engineering Club, the Women's Engineering Society, and Engineers Ireland. This special occasion will feature a talk from the renowned Dervilla Mitchell DBE, as she reflects on her favourite projects and remarkable experiences over her 40-year career.

Dervilla will share how projects big and small have provided both challenge and opportunity. She will also look forward and talk about the changing role of engineering in a more technology enabled world and how we might play our part in delivering transformational societal change.
