Hosts from Aurecon will interview a number of esteemed speakers across the World Engineers Convention program on topics ranging from the digitisation of assets and infrastructure, to creativity and innovation in engineering and the role of engineers in the corporate world.

We will also explore why engineers of the future will be philosophers, the future of energy including the role of renewables in remote areas, planning for flying cars and more. A highlights episode will be published in December 2019 before the interviews are released for Season 2 of Engineering Reimagined throughout 2020.

Interviewees include Prof David Cropley from University of South Australia, Leeanne Bond, Breakthrough Energy Pty Ltd, Tim Mumford, Office of Projects Victoria, Chris Dalitz, Essential Energy and Lachlan McLeod, Ekistica.

Aurecon Managing Director – Design, Innovation & Eminence Dr Kourosh Kayvani said the podcast would reflect the rich fusion of ideas, innovation and issues discussed by industry and academic experts at the World Engineers Convention.

“Humanity still depends on engineering to help solve the wicked problems our world faces. Our role is constantly evolving as technology disrupts our world at a faster rate than any other time in history. Asking what the future holds and reimagining the future and our leadership roles in it will help us lead society in some of its greatest advancements,” Dr Kayvani said.

“I can’t wait to hear the compelling and inspiring conversations during the convention from our roster of remarkable hosts and guests, that will no doubt inspire us all on how we can continue to meaningfully contribute and create a future for communities to thrive.”
