When it comes to engineering challenges, it doesn’t get much bigger than climate change.
The largest source of emissions fueling the challenge is electricity generation, and so far here in Australia we have trialed the renewable alternatives of wind, solar and hydro; but what about nuclear?
-
SMR Nuclear Technology Technical Director, Tony Irwin, believes that the addition of small modular reactors could help Australia get the mix right when it comes to renewable energy.

2020 Canberra Young Engineer of the Year, Alexandr

2020 Canberra Young Engineer of the Year, Alexandra Radulovich believes that there is often a misunderstanding about what an engineer does. “I'm an engineer and I don't build things and I don't really design things either, not often anyway.” To encourage young boys and girls into the profession we need to expose them to all disciplines of engineering.

Australian engineers know that they are well train

Australian engineers know that they are well trained and what they are capable of. But MAJGEN Marcus Thompson AM believes that we need to encourage people, who might not fully appreciate the skill sets that engineers bring, to include engineers at the early stages of planning or incident response.
