The UQ Women in Engineering Alumni Council is proud to be partnering with UQ Ventures to host an interactive, hands-on, and thought-provoking professional development workshop for engineering professionals at all career stages.
UQ Alumni and industry professionals who are keen to learn about design thinking, challenge their perceptions and meet like-minded industry professionals are encouraged to join.
The workshop aims to address the question “How do we foster enthusiastic, gender-diverse engagement to enter, develop and continue a fulfilling career in engineering?”
Join the conversation by engaging with a panel of industry leaders, followed by designing innovative solutions that can be implemented in the workplace by applying design thinking methods.
On completion of this workshop you will:
