The North East Community of Professional Engineers (NECoPE) was formed initially in Tyneside then shortly afterwards in the Tees Valley. The Tees Valley group expanded and was renamed ‘Engineering Together, the North East Community of Professional Engineers’ which now incorporates a variety of organisations.

Its key objectives are:

  • To raise public awareness and understanding of engineers and engineering
  • To inspire young people to choose engineering as a rewarding career that helps to build a sustainable future
  • To be a leading voice of the engineering profession in the Tees Valley
