Collaboration between industry and academia can drive innovation and progress in many industries, including Civil Engineering. To encourage thought about this matter the SA/NT Chapter of the AGS, the SA branch of the ICE and Aurecon invite students and young practitioners of Civil Engineering to make a 2 minute video addressing one of the topics below:
Topic 1
Can new fields of study and activity (e.g. artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, etc) have a major impact on civil engineering practice unless there is good collaboration between industry and academia?
Topic 2
Is it safe in for a Civil Engineering Organisation not to innovate? What are the risks in innovation and how can they be managed?
Topic 3
What systems, frameworks and/or programs can be put in place to promote better collaboration in research between industry, academia and government?
Videos will be judged on the criteria below:
- Relevance
- Practicality
- Originality
- Succinctness
- Engagement
