Overview

The session will focus on climate change and resilience and the role of the engineer in an evolving industry. The CEng Communication Task Group on Climate Change and Resilience focuses on the essential role engineers play in addressing climate change. By sharing knowledge and innovative solutions, the group aims to enhance the resilience of infrastructure and communities to the impacts of a changing climate. Through collaboration and effective communication, engineers can lead the way in implementing sustainable practices that safeguard the environment and future generations. After the presentation, participants will discuss the evolution of the role of the engineer and the implications for skills and capabilities needed for future challenges.

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.
