Women in engineeringUNSW Engineering is working hard to hit its goal of ensuring 30% of our enrolled students are female by 2020. We have an illustrious history of female graduates making a difference and changing the world, and an incredible support network to help women. Female engineers are currently in huge demand by employers, paving the way to a fantastic career.

■ You won’t believe the places engineers end up and the fascinating work they do! We’ve enlisted Australian DJ duo NERVO as Women in Engineering ambassadors to help

Meet Monique Alfris

■ Sometimes a little thing can make a big difference to peoples’ lives. When UNSW Engineering graduate Monique Alfris saw the way people live in India’s slums, crowded into windowless shanties in almost constant darkness, she saw a huge opportunity to have a positive impact on the world.

Monique founded Pollinate Energy, a not-for-profit that brings affordable solar powered lighting to India’s urban poor, replacing their smoky and expensive kerosene lamps. Pollinate Energy provides local jobs to residents and healthy, economical illumination.

In addition to workshops and networking events, the program provides students with the opportunity to give back through volunteering. Together, WIE volunteers dream up new activities to inspire teenagers so they can better consider a future in engineering. These are then delivered to school groups.

WIE is a great way to make friends through teamwork, to share your enthusiasm for engineering, and to strengthen your own commitment to changing the world.

Feel the beat

■ The Women in Engineering Development Program at UNSW provides female engineering students with a sense of community, as well as providing opportunities to build important skills for academic and career success. The program is an AHEGS-accredited activity, so participants can have it listed on their supplemental transcript when they graduate.

people understand how the work of engineers impacts you in your everyday life. The NERVO twins studied sound engineering before they made it big in music, and their message to everyone is clear – “don’t let your gender make the decision for you, because you can do anything!”
