| | United Kingdom | First week of November annually | In mid-2018, it was announced that a new national day to celebrate engineering would be launched in the United Kingdom in January 2018. It would be known as This Is Engineering Day. The concept was developed by The Royal Academy of Engineering. The first year's campaign was to raise the profile of a career in engineering, with only 30,000 students each year studying both maths and physics A-levels, which are prerequisites for to study engineering at many universities.[{{cite web |title=‘This is Engineering’ campaign seeks to change the image of the industry |url=https://www.imeche.org/news/news-article/this-is-engineering-campaign-seeks-to-change-the-image-of-the-industry |publisher=Institution of Mechanical Engineers |date=August 22, 2017}}] The hashtag #ThisIsEngineering often trended on social media each year after the launch with the campaign's focus to try and change some of the perceptions often associated with engineering.[{{cite web |last1=Wilson |first1=Bill |title='I do my engineering in high heels not a hard hat' |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50315019 |publisher=BBC}}][{{cite web |title=Challenging and changing the image of engineering |url=https://www.theengineer.co.uk/content/opinion/challenging-and-changing-the-image-of-engineering/ |publisher=The Engineer (UK magazine) |date=August 13, 2019}}] The annual celebration of engineering day was rebranded in 2022 to National Engineering Day. In the same year, a study from the Royal Academy of Engineering stated that engineering adds an estimated £645 billion to the UK's annual economy.[{{cite web |title=Engineering adds £645bn a year to the UK economy |url=https://www.imeche.org/news/news-article/engineering-adds-645bn-a-year-to-the-uk-economy2 |publisher=Institution of Mechanical Engineers |date=November 2, 2022}}][{{cite web |title=A hotbed of innovation: New research reveals engineering adds up to an estimated £645bn to the UK’s economy annually |url=https://raeng.org.uk/news/a-hotbed-of-innovation-new-research-reveals-engineering-adds-up-to-an-estimated-645bn-to-the-uk-s-economy-annually |publisher=Royal Academy of Engineering |date=November 2, 2022}}] | |
