The Young Engineers Network (YEN), Global welcomed 33 representatives from across the world to Glasgow and Edinburgh recently, for the CIBSE YEN Global Conference Weekend.
Hosted by CIBSE YEN Scotland, the event started with a Stem Outreach session featuring Glasgow Kelvin College. YEN representatives undertook a range of practical sessions, including wiring, soldering, pipe bending and flue testing, while being guided by faculty staff and apprentices attending the college.
The YEN cohort then went on a factory tour to learn about process engineering, waste heat recovery and the role of building services in beverage manufacturing, before attending the highlight of the weekend the CIBSE Scotland Annual Dinner.
At the dinner, several members of the CIBSE YEN Global Committee were recognised for their contributions. Molly Behling and Anand Tailor were presented with Presidential Commendations for their ongoing roles as communications leads for CIBSE YEN Global. CIBSE Scotland YEN Chair Aidan McGhie also received a Presidential Commendation for his contributions to CIBSE Scotland and YEN on a regional and global level.
The weekend concluded with a visit to Edinburgh for the conference, which took place in The Royal Scots Club. It featured workshops to advance the network’s mission, strengthen its integration within CIBSE’s broader framework, and develop initiatives to increase the number of young engineers entering the industry.
