About Us
Our Profile
The Young Engineers Australia (YEA) is a group within Engineers Australia, representing approximately 20,000 members (a third of total memberships) who are in the first five or so years of their career OR under the age of 35 years.
The YEA consists of one representative from each of the nine Divisions of Engineers Australia, and the elected chairperson. The role of YEA is to represent the needs of young engineers in the Institution, and to promote, encourage, and coordinate activities at a national level.
The Victoria Division of the YEA includes students, associates, technologists, graduates and professionals. The Victoria Committee organises various activities for its members to take part in, such as the annual Career Expo and Gen-X Dinner; social events; site visits; seminars; tutorials; and workshops. There are also competitions and awards that are held on an annual basis.
We are committed to providing services that will be of use to our members’ academic, personal and professional development. The group has a strong focus on promoting the Engineering profession to high school students and the general community.
The YEA is here for you, and here to make a difference. Remember that the profession is what YOU make it. Being a part of Engineers Australia and the YEA is the best way to shape your career and professional development.
