    What’s in a title? With Steve Howe

    What’s in a title? With Steve Howe

    What is in a title?  When you’re an engineer, a title could mean a lot. 

    Stephen Howe spoke to Mel & Dom about his observations of a worrying situation in the engineering industry where engineers are chasing the grandiose role title, even if their experience doesn’t equate. 

    “But don't play into this phenomenon of "job title, scope creep" that I think is a disservice to the industry and to the individuals and clients.”

    Electric Shocks with Peter Stepien

    Electricity in mines is a very concerning hazard.  And while there have not been any fatalities in Australian mines due to electrocution in well over 30 years, this does not mean engineers are not working on it.  Peter Stepien spoke to Mel & Dom about his concern that engineers must stay vigilant with evolving technology, specifically currently with variable speed drives in mines.
