Engineers Australia

Founded in 1919, Engineers Australia exists to advance the science and practice of engineering for the benefit of the community.

With around 100,000 individual members, we are the peak body for the engineering profession in Australia and have member chapters in Asia, the UK and the Middle East.

We are the voice of the profession, and work to uphold the highest professional standards, support the engineers of today and create the engineers of tomorrow.

Our Centenary is an opportunity to celebrate engineering accomplishments of the past and present, and to promote the vital role the profession plays in creating sustainable energy solutions, making our cities function more effectively, improving human health and more.

Engineering is entering an exciting and challenging era, and we are committed to positioning our profession to lead, as nations prepare to adopt advances in technologies and innovations.

While it’s impossible to predict exactly what advances the future will hold, it’s certain they will rely on the profession that turns ideas into reality: engineering.

Hosts

World Federation of Engineering Organizations

The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) is the peak body for engineering, representing nearly 100 nations and 30 million engineers. It is the voice of engineering at an international level and promotes the important role of engineers in key issues that the world is now facing; sustainable development, the growth of our cities, climate change and strategies for sustainable energy production to meet the needs to the growing population around the world.

WFEO is recognised by the United Nations and its agencies, government, intergovernmental organisations, international NGOs and the public in general as a respected and reliable source of advice and guidance on strategies and policies that use engineering and technology for the benefit of human development and wellbeing and sustainable outcomes. It is one of the ten leading organisations in science and technology at the international level and is co-chair of the High-Level Political Forum at the United Nations, providing advice on Science Technology and Innovation. Established in 1968, WFEO celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018.

Patron - The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to build peace through international cooperation in Education, the Sciences and Culture, and works to advance and promote science in the interests of peace, sustainable development and human security and well-being.

UNESCO works with WFEO as an important partner in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Welcome message from Hon. Trish White

Hon. Trish White FIEAust CPEng EngExecNational President, Engineers Australia

On behalf of Engineers Australia, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the World Engineers Convention in our Centenary year.

There could be no more fitting time than our Centenary for Australian engineering to take the global stage, and no more fitting theme than Engineering a Sustainable World: The Next 100 Years.

We have a proud engineering heritage in this country, and our engineers will play a pivotal role in addressing the challenges facing our people and our planet in years to come.

Founded in 1919, Engineers Australia is the peak body for the profession and has about 100,000 individual members. Our purpose is to advance the science and practice of engineering for the benefit of the community.

In these pages, you will find a huge range of sessions and activities that represent a unique opportunity to learn, debate, share ideas and connect with engineers from over 70 countries.

The program has been designed to enable you to learn first-hand about cutting-edge technologies and processes, and to identify real-world applications, as well as to engage in bigger picture thinking on many of the big questions the world is facing. I’m confident you will enjoy it.

In closing, I’d like to thank our delegates, our speakers, our sponsors and the team of staff and volunteers who have spent the last four years making WEC 2019 a reality.

Welcome message from Dr. Marlene Kanga

A warm welcome to all the delegates from around Australia and the world to the World Engineers Convention.

This is the flagship event of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), held every four years, bringing together the best and brightest engineering minds for an “Olympics of engineering”. It’s a unique opportunity to engage with the world’s top engineers from Moscow to Johannesburg, Calgary to Beijing and to discover our common goals and values and develop solutions to the world’s most pressing problems through engineering.

Importantly, it’s time to congratulate Engineers Australia on reaching its Centenary and celebrate the contribution that engineers past and present have made to every aspect of modern Australian life.

More than 600 speakers from over 70 countries are coming together in 500+ sessions in a global event that is by engineers for engineers. This is an event that has never been seen before in Australia.

I am particularly proud to be hosting this event as President of WFEO and as a member of Engineers Australia. I am hoping that all of you will be inspired, enthused, delighted and energised by the presentations and discussions during these important three days, enjoy the many facets of the Convention, make great connections and take home the memories of a lifetime.

Dr. Marlene Kanga AM FTSE Hon.FIEAust Hon.FIChemE President, World Federation of Engineering Organizations

08:45

09:00 Keynote 1 - Citizen-led senseable cities Keynote 2 - Panel discussion: Engineering liveable cities

Keynote 4 - Panel discussion: The diversity imperativeKeynote 3 - Engineering inclusion is the key to success

How smart citizens are building intelligent cities (including citizen-led “seneseable” cities)

The case for creating inclusive and diverse teams and enhancing people capability and skills has never been stronger. To remain competitive and drive innovation companies need to embrace different experiences, perspectives and ideas.

Smarter, flexible, almost intuitive infrastructure is ever more critical and the continuum of technologically-driven solutions means that engineers building our cities have numerous, sometime conflicting priorities when considering how to make them more liveable.

How do we make sure the engineering profession harnesses the numerous benefits of diversity by attracting all kinds of people? What tangible changes will increase your firm’s diversity and how can you measure your success?

Keynote 7 - World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) panel discussion - Engineering education - the paradigm shift to engineer the future

Keynote 8 - Engineering the future: people, places and partners

MACE is the company behind London’s Eye, Olympic Park, The Shard, and the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Hear how one company is leading the digital transformation of the construction industry toward greater sustainability.

Will we still need engineers in the future, what skills will they require, where will we find them and how important will purpose be, rather than just pay cheque, in attracting and keeping the good ones?

This session brings together the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, WFEO, and the International Engineering Alliance to establish a partnership and new benchmark for engineering education for the future.

Universities are incubators for our next generation and have a responsibility to break new ground with research, creating the technology that will improve our physical health and the health of our planet.

Video Presentation “Scale Up! - exploring the challenges of scaling up to meet the dream of an electric planet”

Dr. Alan Finkel AOAustralia’s Chief Scientist

Challenge your thinking and spark your imagination as you hear from three Fellows of Engineers Australia who will all explore different aspects of the trust economy and how it applies to engineering:

• why do engineers need to understand people’s perceptions?

• how the growth of the trust economy is reshaping engineering

• revolutionising recycling to redirect waste into production not only helps industry achieve their sustainability targets, but it means that engineers can be trusted to help manage the circular economy.

This session will outline the reusability and recyclability of steel, the use of renewable energy and ethical procurement in steel manufacture which contribute to its sustainability credentials, environmental benefits from optimised engineering solutions will also be explored.
