Opportunities for Future Students

 

Be inspired to explore a career in engineering

An important part of the Women in Engineering program is raising the awareness of engineering as a potential career option for girls, and shattering the perception that engineering is a profession for men involving hard hats, physical labour and heavy machinery. Engineering is actually an extraordinarily diverse field, and UNSW has an illustrious history of female graduates making impact in the areas of medical science, environmental stewardship, world health and energy innovation. These engineers require lateral thinking, creativity, problem-solving and management skills.
