Meet an Engineering Specialist in Johannesburg

Join the Engineering Institute of Technology face-to-face at EIT’s engineering seminar in Johannesburg on Wednesday 15 February, 2023.

Dr. Steve Mackay, EIT’s Dean of Engineering, who has been based in Australia for over 30 years, will present an interactive seminar on ‘Practical Engineering for the Future – using Automation and Renewables as the Key Drivers.’ He will detail ways to apply sustainability and automation to your engineering projects – in the areas of electrical, mechanical, civil, and industrial automation engineering – as applied to such diverse areas as mining, infrastructure, construction, defense, energy, water, transport, medical, manufacturing, and consultancy.

Steve will highlight how the significant growth in climate change engineering, the drive for sustainability, cost efficiencies, and automation may impact your work.

In a lively debate, he will call on you (and your fellow attendees) to share your perspective on the future of engineering in South Africa.

Finally – in small groups – you will be tasked with outlining your team’s approach to a practical engineering project that will be given to you.

As Lee Lacocco, an American engineer says: “We are continually faced by great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.”

Judging by our past events, this is a must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. It will be an opportunity to hear from a respected industry leader and to network with like-minded people – many of whom will have experience in automation and renewables.
