South Australia Division

March 2011 A Message From The President We are only three months into the year and we have already been reminded in savage ways of the power of nature. The flooding in several parts of Australia, the cyclones in northern Australia, and the second major earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand have devastated communities. The loss of life in these events is tragic. Many people have also lost or had severe damage to their homes. Our engineering profession has a major role in protecting our communities from the impacts of these catastrophes, as well as in the reconstruction activities which follow them. We are indeed fortunate to live in a society where engineering skills are prevalent. We only have to think of the dreadful catastrophes in developing countries overseas in the past decade to realise this. Much has been written in recent times about the serious skills shortages in Australia, which will impact on the growth and productivity of the nation. The burgeoning mining sectors in Western Australia and Queensland are facing shortages already, and many engineering organisations in South Australia are reporting difficulties in recruiting and retaining skilled engineers. This problem is destined to remain for a long time as Australia’s economy grows in response to the export opportunities, particularly in China and India. Whilst it is pleasing to see that the federal Department of Immigration is retaining their openness to new skilled engineers coming to Australia, we need to expand our development of home-grown engineers. I am pleased to see the increase in the number of women in engineering. While female membership of Engineers Australia increased strongly in 2010 it does remains low overall, representing only 10.6% of total Engineers Australia membership. Engineers Australia has for many years been at the forefront of encouraging women into engineering. 2007 was declared the Year of Women in Engineering to raise the profile of women engineers. The national Women in Engineering (WIE) Committee, and their local chapters are active in promoting and encouraging women engineers. If you want to know more about what they do visit the Engineers Australia website at http://tinyurl.com/6cz9dh9, or contact the local group through the South Australia Women in Engineering Group Chair Niki Robinson MIEAust via niki.robinson@tonkin.com.au. This year we are very fortunate to have here in Adelaide the International Conference for Women in Engineering and Science (ICWES15), which is the first time that the conference has been held in the southern hemisphere. It is being held 19th – 22nd July at the Adelaide Convention Centre. For more details visit www.icwes15.org. At the time of writing, the conference has accepted 277 abstracts for papers and presentations from 39 countries, and they expect

400-500 delegates. They will also be outreaching to aspiring young female engineers through their ‘Future Minds’ School Expo. This should be a great event and if you know of any aspiring young female engineers please encourage them to attend. Engineers Australia also has an active program supporting graduate engineers to achieve their professional accreditation as a Chartered Engineer (CPEng, CEngT or CEngO). All engineers should see this accreditation as their ‘badge of honour’, proving that they are now recognised professionals. It will raise the status of engineers in the business and wider community. I am also sure that, as time passes, we will see all states and territories move in the direction that Queensland has in requiring engineering reports to be certified by a CPEng. In the 2009/10 reporting year there was a 24% increase in the number of successful Chartered Status applications compared to the previous year. At a local level there was a 17% increase in the number of people receiving their Chartered Status in South Australia when comparing over the same time, with an even higher level of interest and activity seen so far this year through companies and individuals. In South Australia we are lucky to have the services of National Assessors Maurice Berry FIEAust CPEng and Ewan Hazeldine FIEAust CPEng who assess engineers seeking accreditation, and who are very valuable and willing providers of information to assist in the process. Maurice can be contacted via mberry@engineersaustralia.org.au or by calling 08 8202 7192 (Tuesdays and Thursdays) and Ewan can be contacted via ehazeldine@engineersaustralia.org.au or by calling 08 8202 7180 (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). We also have a very active support program for employers of engineers – the Professional Development Program (PDP). Our local contact is Industry Relationship Manager Jason Thornhill, who is very enthusiastic and brings with him experience from the UK. If you want to become a PDP partner organisation, or to encourage your employer to become one, Jason may be contacted via jthornhill@engineersaustralia.org.au or by calling 08 8202 7120 (Tuesday – Thursday). Good luck to everyone on the journey to Chartered Status, and congratulations to those who have reached this milestone in last few months.

SA’s First Model TOD Village Receives Top SA Planning Award

The 30-Year Plan for Greater Adelaide includes the key objective of creating 14 new transit-orientated developments by 2018. The Bowden Urban Village will showcase the SA government’s vision of developing suburbs that represent best practice in sustainability and urban design.

d y d

The recently completed Bowden Urban Village Master Plan won the 2010 Planning Institute of Australia (SA) premium award – the Minister’s Award for Planning Excellence. It recognises a strategic vision for a mixed use, transport orientated development that will be delivered over the next 10-15 years. Up to 1,500 medium- and high-density 5 star Green Star residential apartments, retail outlets and a mix of commercial offices are expected to be built around a new town centre, based on development of the 16 ha innerurban industrial brownfield site near the Adelaide parklands. Parsons Brinckerhoff, in association with HASSELL, prepared the Structure Plan, Master Plan, Urban Design Guidelines and Sustainability Action Plan for the Land Management Corporation (LMC).. All three parties also received the Planning Institute of Australia (SA) award for Urban Design, with the judges commending the master plan’s high level of community engagement and incorporation of community outcomes. The Master Plan effectively demonstrates a vision for a precinct in an easily understood and well presented document. By defining a strategic vision in this way, the Master Plan helps to support the Bowden Urban Village’s aim of creating an integrated community that is sustainable, water sensitive and makes best use of transport corridors to put people and their homes near jobs, services and recreation.

What’s Been Happening? Society for Sustainability and Environmental Engineering “Biochar Presentation” - 1st February 2011

IET Retired Group “Thermal Energy Hybrids, Opportunities and Challenges” - 2nd February 2011

Biochar is considered a possible solution for carbon capture and storage - a method of reducing climate change. Biochar is charcoal created by pyrolysis of biomass and differs from charcoal only in the sense that its primary use is not for fuel, but for biosequestration.

The emergence of government policy to foster renewable energy is bringing significant change to our energy supply systems. Nevertheless, the greater cost of alternative energy systems remains a barrier to their broader implementation.

Engineers Australia “Prepare Your Chartered Status Application” - 8th February 2011

SA Mechanical Branch Update At the invitation of Division President Dr David Cruickshanks-Boyd FIEAust EngExec, the Mechanical Branch has provided a thumbnail sketch of its activities. Continuing Professional Development (Phil Campbell FRAeS CEng FIEAust CPEng) The Mechanical Branch has an annual program of 10 technical meetings and site visits, planned in conjunction with its partner organisations. This year’s planned program includes two Engineers Australia Eminent Speakers; Dr Mark Shuart sponsored by the Engineers Australia and Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) joint Board for Aerospace Engineering, and the 2010 AGM Michell Awardee Dianne Boddy FIEAust CPEng(Retired), an exceptional mechanical design engineer. The annual program is supplemented by “meetings of opportunity” organised through local networks. In 2010 there were four such additional technical meetings organised by the Branch. Student Subject Prize in Mechanical Engineering This award is for the 2nd year mechanical design subject at each of the universities. The subject facilitates student participation in the national Weir-Warman Design and Build Competition. The inaugural presentation of these awards was made at a Joint Technical Program meeting in 2010. The Flinders University Mechanical Engineering program will also be in a position to select a prize winner in 2011 with their first second year intake this year. Professional Practice Over the past three years the Branch has reinvigorated the John Mannam Prize for Professional Practice in Mechanical Engineering, an award intended to recognise and encourage completion of the requirements for chartered status. Board of the College of Mechanical Engineers (BCME) (Ross Milton FIEAust CPEng (Retired))

supported by the BCME and managed by the National Committee (NC) on Engineering Design. The BCME also supports the NC on Applied Mechanics. South Australia has secured the biennial Applied Mechanics conference ACAM to be held in Adelaide in 2012. The BCME supports two national panels (NP); Mechatronics and Nanoengineering. South Australia has members on all of these BCME committees and panels. In addition Mechanical Branch members are active with other NCs including the NC Space Engineering and NC Automation, Control and Instrumentation which report through other College Boards. Membership (Michael Evans PhD MIEAust CPEng) The Mechanical Branch is one of the larger membership cohorts within the South Australia Division with 2,025 members (at 1st December 2010) in all grades of whom 9% are Technologists and Officers. Student and Graduate members account for 51% and 13% respectively. When comparing the senior grades (including Professional Engineers, Technologists and Officers) the Branch accounts for nearly 27% of the South Australia Division’s College membership with Graduate and Student percentages of membership slightly higher. For the period 1st December 2009 to 1st December 2010 and based on the senior membership grades, (including Professional Engineers, Technologists and Officers) Branch membership has grown by 6.3%. This compares with the Mechanical College nationally (5.8%), and Engineers Australia nationally (4.9%).

Member Profile - Prof Karen Reynolds FIEAust Prof Karen Reynolds is a highly regarded lecturer at Flinders University for biomedical engineering and the winner of both the South Australia Division and Australian Professional Engineer of the Year for 2010. Why did you decide to become an engineer? Ever since I can remember, I have enjoyed problem solving. But I also liked the idea of medicine. When I heard about Biomedical Engineering, I knew that was what I wanted to do. What do you like the most about the engineering profession? The continual new challenges. The diversity. The combination of logic and innovation. What project(s) are you working on now? One of my key projects is the Medical Device Partnering Program. The Program has been running in South Australia since mid-2008, and has facilitated a significant number of new partnerships between research organisations and medical device companies. What do you see as one of the biggest issues facing the engineering profession? Capturing the interest of students at a young age. There are so many career choices, and engineering often gets dismissed as ‘too hard’. What are your hobbies?

What do you think you will be doing five years from now? Lazy days on a large yacht are probably unrealistic! But I do hope to be leading an internationally- recognised research centre, and undertaking research that is making a real difference to people’s lives. If you could have worked on any engineering project, throughout history, what would you choose? To be involved in a ground-breaking biomedical engineering project such as the first implantable pacemaker (developed by surgeon (Ake Senning) and biomedical engineer (Rune Elmqvist)) would be unbelievably rewarding. The project revolutionised cardiac medicine, and is a wonderful example of cross-disciplinary collaboration and teamwork. What is your motto? Make a difference. (And have fun doing it). Who would you most like to meet? A biomedical engineer who looks like George Clooney. Any out there?

My hobbies tend to revolve around my children these days, but I enjoy most outdoor activities and sport. What advice would you provide to someone interested in becoming an engineer? Go for it! Talk to people in the profession, and be open-minded about possibilities.

Vale – Robert (Bob) Ramsay 13th August 1941 – 9th February 2011 Robert graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Adelaide and in 1965 started work at the then Weapons Research Establishment (now the DSTO), Salisbury as an Engineer in the Data Transmission Section of the Communications and Electronic Engineering Division. His brilliant work in subsequent years, particularly on Project MALLARD formed the basis of his Masters degree. Many promotions followed, to Head of Data Transmission Group, Principal Engineer of Communications Division and then Superintendent of Communications Division during the period 1971 to 1983. In 1984 Robert became the Director of the Advanced Engineering Laboratory at Salisbury, which subsequently was followed by a promotion to Director of the Surveillance Research Laboratory until his retirement in the mid 1990’s. Despite his busy career Robert held a senior office bearer position and made valuable contributions to the governance of Engineers Australia. It was at a seminar at the Institution of Engineers Australia in the 1960's that he spoke of overseas research into a "socket in the wall" that would, one day, enable us to connect to video and high speed data across the world. That prediction has eventuated into what we now know as the internet. In addition Robert was an active and well respected member of The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP), an international program for engineers and scientists to share and foster technical discussion and cooperative projects related to Defence communications. He eventually became the Australian National leader for the Communications Group within the TTCP organisation. His manner, enthusiasm and dedication to this activity were applauded by his counterparts in member countries. Through his TTCP leadership Robert was a great ambassador for the Department of Defence and indeed Australia.
