Overview

Please join us as we come together to celebrate our newest cohort of Fellows, engineering Executives and Chartered engineers who have been recognised for positively impacting the engineering profession.

This event will include a 2-course dinner and an opportunity to network with senior members of the Newcastle engineering community.

We are delighted to have keynote speaker Professor Tania Sourdin join us to discuss 'Technology and innovation - Dystopia or opportunity?

The presentation will focus on the various levels of technological change and how judges and courts are thinking about these changes. In exploring more disruptive technologies, some recent neurotech innovations (planned and already in place) will be discussed.

FELLOW

A Fellow is the highest honour Engineers Australia can bestow on its leaders and it is appropriate that we recognise those engineers who have added strength to the organisation and dedicated their lives to the pursuit of engineering excellence.

ENGEXEC

Engineering Executive, or EngExec, recognises the significant role that you play in shaping the future of the Australian engineering profession through recognition of your leadership and management skills.

The EngExec post nominal communicates the well-earned prestige of engineers at the highest tier of their industry and builds on the respect and recognition accorded to the Chartered post-nominals.

CHARTERED

We are celebrating and recognising those members who have become Chartered in 2024 and invite you to join us for dinner, networking and the opportunity to be recognised with Fellow recipients. 

Please bring your certificate if you would like this included in a photo opportunity.
