Professional Registration - aspirations, discovery and continuing the engineering journey

Professional registration is often viewed as a career milestone, but every engineer's story begins long before an application form is completed. In this personal and reflective talk, I will share my own engineering journey through the themes of Past, Present and Future, exploring the motivations that first drew me into engineering, the experiences that have shaped my career, and the ambitions that continue to drive my professional development.

Along the way, attendees will be invited to reflect on their own journeys: What inspired them to become engineers? Where are they now in their careers? And where do they want to be in the future? By considering these questions, we will explore how professional registration can serve not only as recognition of past achievements, but also as a catalyst for future growth and opportunities.

Whether you are just starting to consider registration, preparing to apply or have achieved registration, this session aims to help you connect your personal story with your professional aspirations and discover how registration can support the next stage of your engineering journey.
