Engineers Australia has declared 2012 the Year of the Regional Engineering Team.
 

The association says it wants to recognise and celebrate the contribution of all those engineers, technologists and associates, who work and live in regional Australia. It estimates that 25,000 of its members live in regional Australia.


Throughout the year Engineers Australian plans to address four key strategic areas:  

  • Improve access to CPD for regionally based members.
  • Increase awareness of engineering opportunities in regional areas.
  • Promote equity for all members of Engineers Australia.
  • Generate an understanding of the value of the regional engineering team.
