Overview

The session will focus on decarbonisation and net zero, exploring the evolving role of engineers in this transformative industry. It will highlight the critical contributions engineers make in advancing decarbonisation efforts, emphasising how knowledge-sharing and innovative solutions can drive infrastructure efficiency and resilience in the journey toward net zero.

Participants will also engage in discussions on the future role of engineers in addressing climate challenges, including the skills and capabilities needed to implement low-carbon practices that protect the environment and support sustainable development for future generations.

It is to be hosted by the Professional Development Team of the ICE Malaysia Graduate Network. The format of this session will consist of 5 minutes of introductory session to the ICE Malaysia Graduate Network and the event objectives, which is then followed by a 20-minute technical lecture from the invited speaker.

At the end of the technical lecture, attendees will be split into separate breakout groups for a 25-minute discussion on takeaways from the technical lecture, response formats for the communication task and the target audiences of the communication format.

The session will be concluded after a 10-minute group feedback that is provided by the invited speaker.
