The UK engineering sector is currently experiencing a major skills shortage.
According to Engineering UK's 2016 report State of Engineering, this shortfall is causing a rise in operating costs and delays to the development of new products and services.
The report recognises that one solution is to encourage more women into the sector, stating that "if women were to participate more fully in STEM employment, it could contribute an additional £2 billion to the economy."
Birmingham City University recognises that to get more women into engineering involves changing the perception of engineers wearing blue overalls covered in oil.
