Electricity in mines is a very concerning hazard.  And while there have not been any fatalities in Australian mines due to electrocution in well over 30 years, this does not mean engineers are not working on it.  Peter Stepien spoke to Mel & Dom about his concern that engineers must stay vigilant with evolving technology, specifically currently with variable speed drives in mines.

Electric Shocks with Peter Stepien

The conversation on diversity has been going for decades.  Lauren Mua spoke to Mel & Dom about Progressive Diversity. She has seen and experienced changes in the industry during her 10+ years as an engineer. 

“I put progressive in front of that diversity, because I see it as something that … is about moving forward, promoting change and improving our current diverse industry”

Progressive Diversity With Lauren Mua

What is in a title?  When you’re an engineer, a title could mean a lot. 

Stephen Howe spoke to Mel & Dom about his observations of a worrying situation in the engineering industry where engineers are chasing the grandiose role title, even if their experience doesn’t equate. 

“But don't play into this phenomenon of "job title, scope creep" that I think is a disservice to the industry and to the individuals and clients.”
