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.”

Disaster Resilience is all about managing floods and fires and everything nature can throw at us. Well, this would be wrong. According to Paul Gleeson, you can’t consider disaster resilience without also considering climate change.
If you want to consider and manage Australia’s disaster resilience, you need to look deeper, towards climate change, which is creating a larger occurrence of disasters upon the world. “when I think about disaster resilience.... I think about (it) through the lens of climate change.”
