SWIEIT Speakers visit - Davidson High School

  Today, the Sydney Women in Engineering and IT Speakers Program at UTS sent representatives to Davidson High School to talk to a group of 80 girls about studying engineering and IT. Davidson High School is situated in Northern Sydney and female students from years 9 to 12 sat in on the presentations by our speakers Allissa, Julia, Harshaa and myself!

  First off, Allissa, a second year civil engineering student, spoke about her experience applying for scholarships. She spent only three hours applying for as many scholarships as possible and was offered two, which shows just how easy applying for scholarships can be. Allissa was one of the two recipients of the 2012 WJ and LM Sinclair Scholarship, worth $50,000 each.

  I spoke about some of the innovative engineering designs of the 20th century, such as the Stratosphere Tower roller coaster in LA and the Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany, to show the girls how interesting engineering can be. We showed a video featuring Bill Gates, Mark Zuckeberg and Will I Am, explaining what coding is and how amazing jobs in IT are. Then Julia gave an inspiring speech about why she chose to study IT at UTS, the opportunities it's opened up for her and the advantages of being your own person. Julia was the only girl in her IT class the year before and implored the listening students to consider IST as a subject for years 11 and 12. She was also one of the recipients of the BIT co-op scholarships for 2013. Second round applications for these scholarships are opening on the 1st August and there are still plenty of places left. 

  Thanks go to Davidson High School for hosting us, we look forward to visiting again soon and hope to see some of your graduates joining the Faculty of Engineering and IT at UTS in 2014.

GovHack 2013 – Australia’s Largest Hackathon

Over the first weekend of June, about 1,000 IT Enthusiasts formed 130 teams and put in 20,000 hours of research and development over just 48 hours for Australia’s largest Hackathon:  GovHack. 

Through the 48-hour “festival of authorised hacking”, GovHack participants use publicly available government data to create new and interesting ways of presenting it – through websites, apps, data visualisations and creative mashups.  Participants compete for a share of $170,000 in prize money across various award categories.

This year, Westpac Group Technology Graduate  and UTS IT Alumni (2011) Rania Ramadan-Jradi led a team of seven to be awarded a National Prize for their app, “When will your house be underwater?” The app, which is accessible across mobile, tablet and PC, calculates the years remaining before your own house will be underwater, based on the latest climate change models and sea level forecasts.

“We wanted to bring the topics of sustainability and climate change to a much more personal level – your own home, or your children or grandchildren’s home,” says Rania, who graduated from the University of Technology Sydney’s BIT Co-Op Scholarship in 2011. The app utilises the latest in geo-location technology to automatically pinpoint your current location, display a photo of your home and an animation of water submerging the building... with an accompanying timer for the number of years you have left to keep your feet dry. 

As a passionate ambassador of Westpac’s Technology Graduate program, as well as industry initiatives such as Girl Geek Dinners and Girl Geek Coffees, Rania says she is thrilled to see “an environment in GovHack where gender, background and experience don’t matter. It’s about getting in there, learning a lot and having fun!”
Sponsored by Microsoft, Google, Amazon and various Government agencies, the competition demonstrates the power of innovation and technology when applied to data. Any and all IT enthusiasts are invited, including developers, designers, gamers and even complete amateurs.

"With a data hungry technically literate generation on its way through the current school system, understanding the fundamentals of how to analyse and communicate effectively with data are critical in ensuring a strong industry and indeed, a strong democracy," added Pia Waugh, director of co-ordination and Gov 2.0, Australian Government Information Management Office.


Rania's Key Messages:

• Communication is incredibly vital.
• A great team culture and attitude (and ‘Team Rules’ defined upfront) will get you through the tough times.. such as 52 hours of sleep deprivation.
• Agile + Scrum methodology were a perfect match for our 48hr timeboxed project, but some people have misconceptions around Agile (eg. “It’s just waterfall without documentation.. right?”)
• Undefined assumptions are bad. This led to one of our team members – an applied statistician – accidentally bringing down our Prod Site, and replacing it with a broken Dev build, because he (understandably) didn’t know the difference between a Prod or Dev Server – and we had never explained... This was 2mins and 30 seconds before the submission deadline. ARGH!
• Reaching out and accepting help in crisis is a good idea. We reached out to the mentors roaming the floors – from Google, NICTA and Govt representatives – and even roped the wandering media and camera-men to help us out with last-minute tasks. Delegate delegate delegate!
• Amazing things happen as a team.

Keen to get involved next year? Easy! Just contact Rania and she'll be sure to let you know when the next event is announced. Otherwise, keep your eyes peeled for a GovHack announcement on ABC / SBS.

Hope to see some UTS students and alumni there next year!
PS: Please let Rania know if you’d like to see the app – She'd love some beta testers...

Never Be Afraid to Negotiate a Reasonable Remuneration Arrangement

As a senior female engineering student in Sydney, I have noticed many of my peers having trouble finding an engineering internship to fulfill their graduate requirements or simply to gain extra industrial experience. The accepting truth that an internship would greatly benefit the many decision-making moments in our developing engineering career has given raise to some exploiting opportunities towards students from unlawful employers. In light of this, Fair Work Australia has put down tighter regulations on preventing such incidences occurring.

This is my story on why and how to stand up for myself, as a student seeking an engineering internship with fair pay.

I was approached by two companies, A and B, both state owned entities, near the end of the Spring semester to work in the rural area over the coming summer. The first, A, called me in for an interview and was happy with providing a reasonable relocation fee if I got the offer. I was in the top few to be selected but sadly, since another candidate lived closer, he or she was chosen instead. Still, the refreshing and daunting experience of being interviewed and assessed was again reminded.

Disappointed from trying very hard in preparation for company A's interview, I received a call afterwards from company B. At first, I was too excited and agreed to my interests in working for them. This proved to be a mistake as in the proceeding emails and phone calls, the position was of a work experience nature and would not be paid, and also with no relocation fee except work insurance and PPE. I was naturally in disbelief that a state owned entity would do something like that since it is of a very strong contrast to how I was treated at another state owned entity, Company C, in last year's internship. I thought they were mistaken and subsequently made enquiries to the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia (APESMA), the university's legal services, Fair Work Ombudsman and NSW Work Cover. The solicitor from APESMA also linked me to this useful page on the Fair Work Australia website: http://www.fairwork.gov.au/resources/fact-sheets/employer-obligations/Pages/internships-vocational-placements-and-unpaid-work.aspx#work-experience-internships

Given the research and support from qualified solicitors and myself, I was able to realize my rights and my obligations. In a nutshell, the company must pay me over work I produced that injects productivity into the company. If it is just minor tasks or observatory in nature, then they don't. They don't have to pay either if its a course requirement I believe but in this case, it's not a course requirement since my experience at company C has already qualified for that.

I emailed Company B my situation and concerns with their arrangement and they agreed to keep in touch and see what can be addressed that would improve it. A month worth of negotiations later, Company B agreed to pay me under a fixed contract condition and I was able to sustain myself reasonably well throughout the internship.

Despite this 'roller coaster ride', I learnt a lot from this event and I've made a mental reminder to find out where to locate similar bodies and information when I'm working abroad.

Best Foot Forward Career Skills Workshop with CBA: Interviews

Thanks to all participants who took part in the Best Foot Forward Careers Workshop on Thursday 25 October. The workshop was the second of a three part workshop series, organised by the Women in Engineering and IT Program and facilitated by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). Elise Ianno has been running these workshops to help give UTS women an edge when applying for jobs and internships. Elise is the Manager of CBA Graduate Recruitment Programs, so we were very lucky to have the benefit of her wealth of experience in the job application process.
This second workshop revolved around interviews, and we were given many useful hints and tips about how best to present ourselves in interview situations. Some of this advice included:

·         Dress appropriately for the occasion

·         Be prepared to give examples of your experiences in dealing with difficult situations. This includes situations that ended negatively as well as positively; so long as you demonstrate your thought process and what you learnt. This is an opportunity to talk about your extra curricular activities as well, so don’t limit your examples to work experience and university projects.

·         Be professional, always sit up straight and make eye contact. Don’t look around the room or ask personal questions, it’s inappropriate.

·         The organisation is interviewing you to see if you're right for the job, but you should also be interviewing them to see if the job is right for you.

·         ALWAYS ask questions! If you’re stuck for questions, ask the interviewer what attracted them to the organisation. This might give you an idea of what the working environment will be like.

After Elise’s presentation, students all had the opportunity to participate in a mock interview. Feedback from the interviews was mostly positive, with everyone acting on Elise’s advice. One pointer that everyone received was to give more detail when providing examples and not to rush your answers. 
The third workshop will be held in early 2013, so keep your eyes posted for event details and updates!

RMS site visit: Transport Management Centre for NSW

Today, the WiE&IT Team took almost 30 UTS students on a site visit to the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) Transport Management Centre for NSW. The Transport Management Centre is situated in Redfern, and is the centre for traffic control for all state roads in the whole of NSW- that's 18,000km of road! We were invited into their presentation room, the very same room where they greet politicians and international partners, which had a great view over the Transport Operations Room. Having never heard of the TMC before, I was truly amazed to see the huge screen occupying an entire wall and displaying many familiar roads. Angela Cannuli, our presenter for the day,  explained that the Operations controllers work in shifts to monitor these roads 24/7, every day of the year, and to send assistance where it's needed.

Operations Controllers monitoring traffic in Sydney city

Angela showed a short video which explained the operations of the TMC in more detail. The Operations Controllers role is 'incident management', which involves liaising with emergency services, coordinating field resources, monitoring traffic, planning major events to minimise impact on non event communities (such as City2Surf), communicating with customers including using various social media and last but not least, road works (of course). Angela also described some of the innovations in traffic control management that have been implemented throughout Sydney over the years. One of these innovations includes the SCATS system. SCATS stands for Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System, and is used to control traffic flow. Before SCATS was used, traffic lights were on a time based cycle, and would change periodically despite traffic flow. Now, when a car pulls up at an intersection, weights under the road detect there is a demand for the lights to change. This makes it much easier to reduce congestion in busy intersections. This system was developed in Australia, but is operational in 27 countries and 263 cities around the world.

Angela showing us the SCATS system in action 

Other innovations include the electronic lane changing system used on the Harbour Bridge, as well as the Live Traffic NSW website. Fiona Simmonds, who works on the Live Traffic NSW website, gave a short talk about the mobile applications that are now available for Android and iPone (which I immediately downloaded!).
RMS are always looking for graduates. Anyone interested in working at RMS should apply through their website, found here:

UTS Women in Engineering Alumni Event

It’s a rainy afternoon in Sydney, but the inside of the Powerhouse Museum is warm and alive with music and the smell of good food. Guests were welcomed in front of a giant 1920’s steam train and invited to take a look at the museum's Engineering Excellence Awards technology exhibition. Engineers from around Sydney, UTS alumni and staff were treated to canapés and drinks before presentations began.  
Themed, "Where have the flowers gone?",

the meeting is an invitation to UTS  engineering graduates to reflect on where they are now and share perspectives on the
experience for women in the profession today. 
The rate of growth of women in the engineering profession in Australia does not reflect even the small increases in university enrolments since the 1990’s. Reasons for leaving engineering uncovered by successive industry surveys include lack of flexible working conditions, workplace culture, lack of career development and pay inequity. At the same time, women are succeeding in engineering by adapting and by innovating and by finding progressive employers. What prospects are there for change that will better sustain and help retain women to succeed and flourish in their chosen fields and how can we collaborate to see it happen?
This topic was discussed by three panelists: Professor Marian Baird, Drenka Andjelic and Fiona Coe.
Professor Marian Baird has been a key policy advisor to government in the development of new legislation – Paid Parental Leave, Fair Work and the proposed Workplace Gender Equality Act.

Drenka Andjelic (Alumni) has put her values about work life balance into practice in the establishment of her project management company in the construction industry, and has won recognition for her innovation.

Fiona Coe (Alumni) has been a strong advocate for women in engineering as a student, and she has worked hard to make her professional workplace a more sympathetic environment. Now she is on a quest to find a way to resolve her passions with engineering practice.
After the speakers, there was a lively discussion  with many questions from the audience. Some interesting points of contention were raised and different view points discussed. You can view the entire presentation section of the evening by clicking here.

Zonta Club of Sydney Breakfast - 'Women in Engineering' Award

This morning, students and staff of UTS were invited to breakfast with some of Sydney's most influential women in business, hosted at Westpac Place. Zonta International is an global initiative that is aimed at advancing the status of women in numerous fields. Once again this September, Zonta is celebrating the history of achievements of women in engineering. The breakfast began with a fantastic presentation from Sandra Triulzi, National Diversity Manager at Abigroup, a true pioneer for diversity and gender equality in the field of engineering.

Apart from offering a space to mingle, Zonta also provides encouragement for the next generation of engineers by offering financial support. This year a record number of UTS female students applied for the 2012 Zonta International Club of Sydney Breakfast Award, which was given to Su Myat Khine Win- congratulations Su Myat! Su Myat is in her second year of the Bachelor of Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice, majoring in Civil Engineering. Su Myat gave a short presentation at the breakfast, giving us some insight into her background and her passion for civil engineering. She began a medical degree in her home country of Burma,  before moving to Australia and finishing a nursing degree which she completed in Australia. Su Myat has been working as a qualified nurse for many years. However, her curiosity for Civil Engineering was so strong that it inspired her to change professions. Though Su Myat outlined the various challenges associated with starting a new profession after so many years away from the Maths & Physics classroom - she has been doing very well in her course and has thoroughly been enjoying her studies at UTS. Upon receiving the Zonta award, Su Myat announced she would be donating $300 back to the club, which prompted a standing ovation! Su Myat's story is truly inspiring and hearing it was definitely the highlight of the morning.

Award applicants (L-R) Jaime Cheuk, Sixiao Lu, Amy Burrows, Sy Myat Khine Win (winner), Kulsoom Hussain, Sally Anderson and Sijjal Tasneem. 

All award applicants were invited to attend the breakfast as well as getting the opportunity to mingle with Zonta Club of Sydney Breakfast members that work in various industries throughout Sydney. Su Myat Khine Win will be officially acknowledged as the Zonta Award winner at the Faculty of Engineering and IT award night in October.

Best Foot Forward Career Skills Workshop: Writing Effective Applications

In the WiE&IT office, we know that applying for internships or graduate positions can be a daunting and rather overwhelming process. That’s why last week WiE&IT hosted a careers workshop in conjunction with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). This workshop was aimed at better equipping undergraduate and postgraduate female students to prepare for joining the workforce.

The manager of the CBA Graduate Program, Elise, gave an insightful and inspiring presentation on some of the processes involved when constructing a resume and filling out applications. She covered resume structure, cover letters, wording, psychometric testing and filling out applications in the session. The workshop was facilitated by Maria, the CBA Manager for Organisational Development, who gave some insightful comments and tips on how best to communicate achievements. Some important discussion points included:

-          How best to structure your resume

-          Protocol on providing references

-          When proofreading: read, re-read and re-re-read!

-          Use professional language

-          Apply for positions well before the closing date

-          Take your time to complete an application; its alright to save it and come back later

-          Never undersell yourself!

At the end of the presentation, students were encouraged to apply for some of the graduate programs available at CBA. Currently CBA are recruiting for their Summer Internship Program. Applications close in August so start your applications now!

As the workshop closed and attendees helped themselves to a little afternoon tea, the enthusiasm told us that that everyone had learned something new.

The next workshop is on 7 December 2012, registrations will open soon!
