UQ’s new podcast: But Seriously, What is Engineering?

There’s much more to engineering than hard hats and building bridges, so The University of Queensland’s new podcast seeks to answer the question, But Seriously, What is Engineering?

The 12-part podcast series explores all corners of engineering, from underground mines to under the microscope.

Host, Kartikee Gupta, is a civil and structural engineer and Women in Engineering advocate at UQ.

She asks professional engineers from across a range of sectors, as well as UQ’s engineering alumni, researchers and students, about their work finding innovative solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems and the adventures they have along the way.
