A large part of the recovery from the current crisis will be driven by engineers and the projects they enable. A plan from Engineers Australia maps the opportunity. It has been clear since the beginning of the computer science vs software engineering crisis that engineers would play a central role in the efforts to cope with its effects. From the design and manufacturing of protective equipment and ventilators, to the building of pop-up hospitals and the development of solutions to keep supermarket staff safe, each has required engineering.
Long after the physical threat of infection has passed, engineers will be key to the nation’s recovery efforts.
“Everybody has been searching for ways out of this crisis, ways to do business without putting people at risk, ways to make health workers safe, etc.,” said Associate Professor Sally Male, Chair in Engineering Education at the University of Western Australia.
