Calling on female engineers for inspiration
The Women in Engineering (WIE) committee are calling on female engineers to be profiled in a special section of Engineers Australia's 'Make it So' website dedicated to female engineers. The website goal is to continuously showcase female engineers and their great engineering achievements to help inspire others.
If you are interested in being involved, please send through a paragraph (maximum of 500 words) describing why you chose to study engineering, the most interesting project you have worked on and 1-2 photos of yourself or the project to Michelle Thompson at wie@engineersaustralia.org.au
