Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology

Engineers are society’s problem solvers.

As every problem solver knows, the more inputs that are known, the easier the problem is to solve. The best engineering team must, therefore, be as diverse as the society they work in.

Diversity eliminates silo thinking, fosters innovation and helps break down prejudices and subconscious biases. Most importantly, diversity is proven to generate better performing and more creative teams.

UQ Women in Engineering are creating change for a better world.
