There is still time to nominate as one of Australia’s most innovative engineers.

Engineers Australia and create magazine are compiling a list to be published in the July issue of create. The closing date for entries has been extended till 11 March, 2016 to cope with the high interest in the list.

We are looking to recognise outstanding engineers who have made noteworthy contributions to the community, the industry, and the profession.

Engineers can nominate themselves or be nominated by others and they do not need to be members of Engineers Australia. Nominations are open to all engineers working in Australia and Australian engineers working overseas. Any technology, project or product mentioned must have been developed, commenced or completed during the period 2014-2016.

There will be a number of different categories under which people can enter including Academia & Research, Building & Construction, Community, Consulting, Information & Communications Technology, Manufacturing, Mining, Utilities and General Industry. There will also be a Young Engineer category, for which entrants must be aged 35 or under on June 30, 2016.

If you are concerned about nominating because of confidentiality issues, you can request that proprietary details of your innovation not be published and the information you provide can be broadly descriptive.
