Engineering Your Future
Engineers Australia is hosting an online program to support high school students to learn more about the opportunities in engineering. Engineering Your Future will be held during the July school holidays. Attendees will have access to a range of information sessions across engineering disciplines, including live Q&A with Engineers working from multiple sites on various projects from Civil and Structural to Nuclear.
Students will learn about current engineering projects and what a day in the life of an engineer looks like. Students will also hear from university students and academics about accredited engineering courses and about alternative pathways.
