How can we challenge harmful preconceptions of Black engineers? "At the heart of any engineering challenge is the idea of stripping away faulty assumptions and rebuilding stronger foundations. The same principle applies here," says Tarisiro Fundira, civil engineer at Mott MacDonald.

Are you professionally qualified and curious about how you can help shape civil engineers’ futures? Why not become a script marker! Fergus Harkins took a slightly different route to chartership via the further learning exam. It helps members prove that their work experience meets the requirements for chartership. Fergus now volunteers as a script marker and a moderator on the exam panel. He sees it as a way of contributing to the development of people who were in his position before.
