Young Engineers / Future Leaders (YE/FL) is a Standing Committee of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations standing committees (WFEO). It constitutes young engineers and student members of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations and its council members are official delegates by national engineering associations of their country. The current chair is Zainab Lari, Kuwait. Vice Chair is Kathryn Johnson, United States and secretary is Felix Firsbach, Germany.

The WFEO Executive Board Meeting in Paris, France, (March 16–17, 2009), culminated in the acceptance of a proposal, which had been submitted by the Capacity Building Committee to establish a YE/FL Task Group under the auspices of the Capacity Building Committee, after five years of preparation, socializing, and networking. At the WFEO 2009 annual congress in Kuwait, (Alternative Energy Application Option or necessity?), the Capacity Building Committee confirmed its support to the young engineers task group. Kuwait hosted the group for four years with a Kuwaiti chair. In 2010 at the World Engineers' Week (WEW 2010) in Buenos Aires, Argentina YE/FL became present the first time as an individual active group and held its first council meeting. At the WFEO 2011 annual congress in Geneva (Facing the Global Energy Challenge the YE/FL Task Group became a Standing Technical Committee of the WFEO.[1] The first committee chair became Eng. Zainab Lari (Kuwait Society of Engineers, Kuwait). In February 2013 YE/FL held its own self-organized conference in Kuwait.[2][3][4][5]
