Engineers from across the UK were challenged to turn their work into an exciting, eye-catching poster with the support of graphic designers and public engagement specialists.

The aims of Strictly Engineering were to spark conversation about the implications of engineering in our everyday lives, challenge stereotypes around engineering and draw attention to the world-class engineering going on in the UK.

Project outcomes

• 30 engineers shared and discussed their area of expertise having their poster as a starting point at the British Science Festival, 6-8 September 2012, University of Aberdeen. The three best posters voted for by the public and a panel of judges won prize money.
• 30 posters - have a look at Strictly Engineering poster catalogue [1]
• Poster design: A practical guide for scientists and engineers [2] 

Strictly Engineering was funded by a Royal Academy of Engineering  [3]Ingenious award.
