Indigenous Australians make up 2.5 per cent of the population, but only 0.5 per cent of engineering students. Initiatives such as the National Indigenous Summer School and the National Indigenous Engineering Autumn School are key to boosting Indigenous participation rates. The week-long programs, catered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in year 10 and 11, are designed to simulate the university experience socially and educationally, to support students in their career aspirations and goals.

Happy #WorldStandardsDay! Many of our engineers help create the standards that enhance and empower communities across Australia. Curious about the process? Read our interview with Graduate Biomedical Engineer Salina Chu: https://lnkd.in/gvMVVSnm Or read about Senior Engineer Tara-Lee MacArthur’s work in standards development here: https://lnkd.in/gxuFNjTc
🌏 Today is #WorldStandardsDay - a day to honour the collaborative efforts of countless experts around the globe who invest their time and knowledge in crafting the voluntary technical agreements that form our International Standards. We recognise and celebrate their remarkable contributions to standards on this day. This year’s theme, “Shared Vision for a Better World,” emphasises the importance of Sustainable Development Goal #9: building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialisation, and fostering innovation in the age of AI. A heartfelt thank you to all the contributors, members, and staff who work tirelessly to enhance our daily lives through standards. Together, we have the power to promote safety, quality, and progress for generations to come.

Working in engineering is “a privilege and a great responsibility"" for for Jacinta Kelly FIEAust CPEng, who is currently working on the Middle-Arm Sustainable Development Precinct in the Northern Territory. The precinct aims to encourage liquified natural gas producers and other companies to work together when establishing infrastructure. So what does she wish she'd known about engineering when she was younger?

With more than 400,000 km of subsea cables connecting Australia to global telecommunications networks, there is a significant demand for reliable infrastructure to keep the lights on and the communications channels open. Yet, installing and maintaining these cables has long been considered a high-risk operation, as, traditionally, human divers were required to descend to dangerous depths for repairs, facing extreme underwater pressure, unpredictable weather and other hazardous conditions. The use of remotely operated vehicles in subsea operations has significantly increased safety conditions for human divers.

Heightened demand for batteries means an increased need for the minerals used in battery components. Within the next 10 years, new chemistries are expected to be developed, further changing battery mineral demand. Innovation is also leading to an increase in battery energy density. When cumulative battery demand doubles, the average energy density of lithium-ion battery cells has increased by around six per cent. Therefore, as battery demand grows, energy density should continue rising, with more energy stored in fewer kilograms. Read the full story here: https://brnw.ch/21wNAc4
