 Pooja Umashankar, aims to address the global shortage of engineers in the aviation industry, with industry estimates suggesting a need of approximately 700,000 engineers by 2040. Umashankar, an aviation maintenance engineering student at the University of South Wales, aspires to promote safe air travel for the rapidly expanding aviation industry. However, securing an on-the-job training placement has proven to be challenging. The current shortage of female engineers, representing less than 10% in the UK and 2.8% in the US, could potentially be addressed by encouraging more individuals like Umashankar into the trade. Moreover, the push for more apprenticeships and internships could help combat this pressing need for more engineers in the industry. The ongoing retirement of ageing engineers only underscores the urgency of this issue. #aviation #womeninengineering #futureofaviation
