Engineering Australia
July 2012 Eng-Zone: Engineers Australia Sydney Division's e-newsletter sent to you monthly with news and details of activities around Engineers Australia.
Australian Engineering Week 2012 As Chairman for the organising committee, I extend a warm welcome to you for Australian Engineering Week during 6th to 12th of August 2012. The week is an annual celebration of the Engineering Profession. Engineering Week seeks to celebrate the people and achievements of the Profession and convey the relevance and importance of Engineering in our society and each of our daily lives. The week commences in Sydney with an inspirational address on the Monday night by Frank Sartor (who started his profession as a chemical engineer) as he delivers the annual Harricks Address at Parliament House Sydney. On the Wednesday night, an engineering forum on infrastructure will be held at the Museum of Sydney with an expert panel addressing the challenges and necessities of our growing population, and on the Thursday morning a breakfast at the Museum of Contemporary Art will look at the engineering challenges of the design and installation of the National Broadband Network.
Engineers Australia is pleased to announce 2012 is the Year of the Regional Engineering Team, a year which will highlight regional Australia as the heart of engineering.
