2024 marks 300 years since the birth of the UK’s first civil engineer John Smeaton, in Leeds on 8 June 1724. This year is an opportunity to celebrate, and reflect on, the life of a man whose efforts helped shape the profession we have today.
This events calendar prepared by ICE Yorkshire and Humber pulls together a series of events taking place across the region which mark the occasion and celebrate his life.
