What is UWAYE?

UWA Young Engineers is the student chapter of Engineers Australia at the University of Western Australia (UWA). It is a volunteer student-run organisation, whose mission is to promote and generate opportunities for the personal and professional development of engineering students and to enhance understanding of the profession amongst students and the wider community. The UWAYE committee organises events, sometimes in collaboration with the University Engineers' Club, and produces publications to keep engineering students informed. For more information, email us.
