Engineers Australia launches online collaborative platform for humanitarian engineers
Engineers Australia’s summit on humanitarian engineering – held last week in Brisbane – saw engineers hear from inspiring keynote speakers and take part in productive think-tank sessions.
In particular, they heard from Australian of the Year Simon McKeon, who called for more engineering businesses to throw their weight behind the humanitarian engineering cause.
We have responded to his call by setting up a collaborative online platform together with EWB and RedR, where the ideas that were generated at the summit can be explored further.
At yohe.uservoice.com, you can take part in ongoing discussions on how the engineering profession may contribute to humanitarian engineering in Australia.
