It was Engineering Industry Week last week (25-29 August 2008) and this has kept everyone at YEA-V and Engineers Australia very busy. YEA-V actually started its involvement in Engineering Industry week on Tuesday, 19 August with a presentation from the 2007 Young Professional Engineer of the Year, Patrick Hill. There were also many young engineers present at the launch of Engineering Industry Week - a photo exhibition called “The Changing Face of Melbourne” which was held in the grand La Trobe Reading Room at the State Library of Victoria.
During Engineering Industry week numerous events were run for the general public, students and members of Engineers Australia encompassing the broad range of engineering disciplines. There have been a variety of site visits around the centre of Melbourne and regional cities, including major sporting precincts landmarks and major projects as well as discussions on sustainability and other technical seminars.
It has been a jam packed week of engineering to promote the profession to students, the general public as well as the members of Engineers Australia. Now I would like to ask the readers of this blog some questions:
- What did you do for Engineering Industry Week?
- What did your company/university do to promote the week to their employees and/or the general public?
- Did you visit any of the events that were held over the week either by Young Engineers of by Engineers Australia?
- Do you have any comments or queries about the week itself?
Many hours are devoted to promoting the week and running events during this time and so it is always worthwhile hearing back from the people that the events were targeted towards. So here is your chance to have your say on the matter. Post a comment to this blog or email us at yeavic@engineersaustralia.org.au with your comments or answers to the questions above.
Don't forget YEA-V's upcoming events:
Tuesday, 16 September - Financial Fitness Seminar
Saturday, 11 October - YEA-V Amazing Race.
