SUMMARY:Pathways to a career in STEM: yarning with First Nations role models
DESCRIPTION:Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been practising engineering and sustainably managing Country for over 70\,000 years. But in the engineering sector\, the number of Indigenous engineers employed in Australia remains low. How can we attract this critical Indigenous knowledge into the sector\, and build a better representation of First Nations engineers? \nThis year\, the theme for National Reconciliation Week (May 27 – 3 June) is ‘Be a Voice for Generations’. The theme encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live\, work and socialise. \nJoin us online on Wednesday 31 May as we celebrate National Reconciliation Week and hear from First Nations role models in the sector about their career pathways and how to ensure First Nations voices are better represented in the sector. \nThis event will be hosted by EWB Australia STEM Pathways Lead\, Josh MacLeod\, who will be joined by guest speakers\, Melanie Grills (Arup Associate Principal – First Nations Programs & Projects) and Brody Mitchell (Wollongong City Council Civil Engineer Cadet). They will share their experience working in the industry\, their journey to where they are today and the challenges they experienced along the way. We’ll also hear their advice for aspiring First Nations engineers as well as their insights on how employers can create a more supportive work environment to attract First Nations youth into the sector. \nRegister for this free event here.

SUMMARY:What every engineer must do to create solutions that stick
DESCRIPTION:It is only through conscious and deep engagement with the end users of technology solutions that we have any hope of creating a more resilient world. Through listening and sharing – and building on this knowledge together – we discover the context and real-time situations within which our solutions seek to create a positive\, lasting impact. \nThis year\, the theme for World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (March 4) is ‘engineering innovation for a more resilient world’. EWB Australia has been working alongside communities from Cambodia to Cape York for decades\, to ensure technology innovations are resilient. That solutions are long-lasting and fit-for-context. \nJoin Industrial Designer Mitch Horrocks and Chemical Engineer Leah Sertorio as they share recent experiences of how this approach has enabled them to build the critical understanding and empathy that is essential if engineering innovation has any hope of creating a more resilient world. They’ll share first-hand stories of their work alongside communities\, and some of the approaches they have used that have led to unexpected yet impactful outcomes for the people whose lives we seek to make better. \nRegister for this free event here.

SUMMARY:Principles in Practice: short course series
DESCRIPTION:Session 1: An assets-based approach to stakeholder engagement\nThe first in a new series of practical and motivating short courses for technical professionals of all levels to build their socio-technical toolkit. \nIn this workshop\, you will be tasked with a specific real-world scenario within a community context. Through this practical and immersive lens\, we will embark together on the beginning of the design process\, exploring and practising skills and mindsets critical to this early phase.  \nYou will experience and practice the kinds of skills and mindsets required to work effectively and respectfully with stakeholders across diverse contexts and cultures. These include: \n\nAsking good questions: how do we work with community to define the problems and opportunities?\nListening: what does listening involve when working in cross-cultural and community contexts? \nUnpacking assumptions and biases that impact our work with clients and communities.\nHow these skills and mindsets relate to design considerations and the successful delivery of project outcomes.\n\nThis session will balance an exploration of key concepts with opportunities to practice skills\, mindsets\, and tools in a supportive and low-risk environment. \nWho should attend?\nThis short course is suited for: \n\nProfessionals at any career stage who deliver technical projects and want to increase their awareness\, confidence\, efficacy and sensitivity in stakeholder engagement.\nNot limited to practising engineers – professionals involved in the delivery of technical projects will greatly benefit.\nThose eager to explore what socio-technical engineering can look and feel like.\n\nParticipants will be provided a certificate of completion after participating in this workshop. \nEWB’s training offerings qualify for Engineers Australia’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD)\, required to achieve and maintain Chartered status and is an integral element of a successful engineering career. \nWhat you’ll come away with:\n\nStrengthened understanding of key skills for connecting with stakeholders at the early stages of a design process and tools to bring these into your own practice. \nKey considerations when engaging with communities\, including First Nations communities.\nAppreciation of the value of community engagement\, with regard to its contribution to the technology development process and specification of design criteria.\nUnderstanding of how these skills and mindsets are transferable to your current work.\n\nMeet your facilitators:\n \n\n		\n	  		\n				\n\n\n			\n			\n						\n					\n	\n	\n		George Goddard\n				 \n			University Impact Manager		\n		\n		 \n			George is a sustainable development practitioner\, educator and researcher with 14 years of experience in development and sustainability.
