The University Engineering Students' Association would like to congratulate Hon. Ing. Ryan Callus for his election to Parliament.  This is the first time that an Engineer has been elected to parliament and is therefore to be considered as a historical fact in the recent general election. .

The organisation is very pleased with this news and considers it as a major step in representing the value of engineers’ contribution to society.

Hon. Ing. Callus is a graduate in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Malta, having also served as President of the association during his University years.

Engineers are expected to provide quite a valid contribution at decision-making levels, especially where technical expertise is necessary.  UESA therefore encourages Engineering students and graduates to be pro-active and exhibit higher social participation.
