Engineering Heroes

Alex Kingsbury spoke to Engineering Heroes about the Australian manufacturing industry.  She discusses that the industry is going through a transformation and asks the real question - what kind of manufacturing should Australia be doing? 

Australia needs to be able to compete on value, not on cost. If you could sum up where the future of manufacturing is for Australia, it will be in the creation of that high value, niche, product.

Grant Maher is an indigenous engineer who has just started his own consulting firm. Engineering wasn’t much on the radar growing up and it was a random comment from his father that set him on his path. Grant spoke to Engineering Heroes about the need to bring awareness of engineering as a career path to indigenous communities around Australia. “As my dad always says, you still gotta have that connection to your community, cause that's what we need.”

Nicole Locke is a passionate engineer who has strived throughout her career to merge her desire to help with her skill as an engineer. “If the engineering work doesn't have a human element and it's not actively trying to provide some kind of service to a community, I just don't have time for that.” 

She spoke to Engineering Heroes about the Value of Volunteering, and by freely giving of your time and skills, it can make you a better engineer.
