We love INGENØRDs

At COWI we celebrate the INGENØRDs. Those who are driven by a passion for what they do, regardless of their field, years of experience or whether they are at home, at work or at school.

Yes, INGENØRD is a word

*INGENØRD [enɕəˈnɶɐ̯ˀd]: An honorary title for people who enjoy immersing themselves in professional or personal passions, a trait that can generate a never-ending train of thought, or result in constant attempts to discover connections and solve problems – which often leads to heated conversations with other 'ingenørds'. Often, but not necessarily, they have a degree in engineering.
