In the latest issue of Careers with STEM, Gavin Blakey OAM, a long-time volunteer with Engineers Without Borders Australia, highlights how engineers are making a real difference. From providing clean water in Timor-Leste to developing sustainable sanitation solutions in Cambodia, engineers are tackling global challenges with innovative, community-focused projects. Blakey emphasises that engineering is not just about technology, it is about creating solutions that improve lives and build a more equitable world. This edition also features a special Net Zero section, showcasing how engineers are driving the transition to a sustainable future. Whether you are interested in humanitarian work, renewable energy, or biomedical innovation, engineering offers diverse pathways to make a meaningful impact.
