- Abstract
This is the 11th publication of the Top 100 list of Australia's most influential engineers. The criteria for selection remain the same. Candidates must be eligible for membership of Engineers Australia. They are either Australian citizens or foreign nationals working in Australia. Australians working overseas also qualify for the list. However, the prime criterion is that the engineer must be influential. This influence may be exercised in any field of endeavour, not just in engineering. For example, this year we have included playwright David Williamson. However, the influence must have been exercised significantly in the past year - this list does not recognise cumulative lifetime achievements. Finally, in order to be objective as possible, comparing apples with apples so to speak, we try to compare engineers within the categories we have selected. Consequently we aim to have an equitable distribution across the broad range of industry sectors. Where the influence stems from holding a role in the organisation we generally only select one engineer per organisation.
