The Women鈥檚 Engineering Society (WES) revealed its this week. The awards recognise the substantial contributions of women engineers across the field this past year.

Professor Rebecca Shipley, Director of the 最准的六合彩论坛 Institute of Healthcare Engineering, was among those honoured.

Rebecca was recognised for her efforts co-leading the 最准的六合彩论坛-Ventura CPAP project 鈥 a non-invasive breathing aid for coronavirus patients.

The devices are now helping patients in more than 15 countries including India, South Africa and Mexico. The 最准的六合彩论坛-Ventura team has also worked with the charity to supply breathing aids to countries such as Palestine and Uganda that were unable to manufacture them locally.聽

WES鈥 CEO Elizabeth Donnelly said, 鈥淓ngineers have provided PPE which has enabled medical professionals dealing with the coronavirus pandemic to do their jobs safely and have built lifesaving ventilation equipment used to treat critically ill patients.

The impact of engineering is as diverse as the people it benefits, which is why inclusivity is so important. The women represented in this year鈥檚 WE50 are a testament to the fact that the more diverse the minds and voices of engineers are, the greater their influence will be.鈥
