Mission: find, support, voice and communicate engineer's stories out to media, business, politicians & the local/global community (Following Engineers only)
Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
Dear Graduate Engineer,
Someone else has already experienced all your problems and challenges.
The answers are:
- one click away
- one book away
- one conversation away
Learn to ask the right questions and make less excuses on why you can’t succeed.
Agree?
Dear Graduate Engineer,
Not all employers will prioritise your professional development.
Don’t wait for them.
Find ways to pay for your coaching, training, memberships, certifications, and qualifications.
It’s your career at the end of the day.
Bet on yourself.
Agree?

But the principal reason is FEAR. Australian teenage girls describe parks as the LEAST safe public space, followed by streets, then public transport. 60% of 13yo girls in Stockholm say they are scared in their own neighbourhood.
Park features that attract boys and men – such as ‘organized sport settings’ like courts – are repeatedly shown to deter girls. Teenage girls are often seen to gravitate towards playgrounds – the only area of parks consistently populated more by adult women than men.
