There is an annual shortfall of 59,000 graduate and technician engineers, many of whom are needed in civil engineering. STEM Ambassadors play a vital role in inspiring young people to study engineering and join our industry.
ICE STEM Ambassadors help spread the word about civil engineering careers to young people, parents and teachers. You could:
- Talk about the profession and run activity sessions with young people
- Represent civil engineering at careers fairs and STEM events (e.g. Big Bang Fairs)
- Give support to a particular school or STEM club project or competition entry
- Create new activities or set up events to help inspire young people, teachers or parents
- Talk to students at your old school about civil engineering.
You will be part of a global network of inspiring civil engineers all working towards the aim of opening up the profession to a greater number of young people.
We ask that each of our ICE STEM Ambassadors commits to undertaking at least one activity a year to inspire the next generation of civil engineers.
UK based
UK based members can get started by simply signing up with STEM Learning for child safeguarding checks and training.
When you register with STEM Learning please make sure you select the option that allows them to share your details with us, so we can keep you up to date with civil engineering resources and activities.
Non-UK based
If you are based outside of the UK, you will need to understand what the local safeguarding regulations are before you engage in any activity; please contact your regional representative for more information.
Already have a school in mind?
Should you have a school in mind to visit, we'll happily support you, just let us know which school. Email us at [email protected]
If you’re already an ICE-affiliated STEM Ambassador, that’s great.
If you ticked the ‘ICE’ box on registering and aren’t getting emails from ICE about its education activities, then do please check on your MyICE account that you’ve given permission to receive ICE emails.
If you’re a registered STEM Ambassador affiliated to another professional institution, then please let ICE know, quoting your registration number, at [email protected].
Remember, to keep your STEM Ambassador registration current, you'll need to do one activity a year and record a short entry onto the STEM Learning database.
