Â鶹ֱ²¥ of Technology\u2019s Dean of Engineering Professor Moses Tad\u00e9 is the only Western Australian academic to be given a place in the prestigious Engineers Australia magazine\u2019s Top 100 Most Influential Engineers in 2008.<\/p>\n

The Top 100 engineers list focuses on present influence rather than historic achievement and is compiled each year by an eminent panel of advisors.\u00a0\u00a0 Engineers Australia magazine is published by Engineers Media, a subsidiary company of the Institution of Engineers Australia.<\/p>\n

Professor Tad\u00e9 has been recognised as a Top 100 engineer due to his outstanding leadership and advocacy\u00a0 for Curtin\u2018s outreach scheme, as well as for his role\u00a0 in securing a number of industry sponsored scholarships for engineering students.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Dean of Engineering, I am focused on attracting more high school students to consider engineering,\u201d Professor Tad\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working with other Australian Technology Network universities to target year 9 students in three Western Australian high schools and 12 high schools in other states.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also committed to encouraging a greater number of industry-sponsored scholarships for our students, which enhances our links with businesses in WA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Tad\u00e9 and his colleagues have also secured close to $1 million in grants from the Australian Research Council this year for projects in process systems engineering.<\/p>\n

Professor Tad\u00e9 was appointed Dean of Engineering at Curtin in January this year, prior to this appointment he was Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Personal Chair of Process Systems Engineering from 2001 to December 2007.\u00a0 Professor Tad\u00e9 is recognised as being the key researcher on three Australian Research Council grants starting in 2008.\u00a0 He is a Deputy Program Leader for CRC-CARE (Contaminant Assessment and Remediation of the Environment) as well as being Journal Editor-in-Chief for the Asia Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering published by John Wiley, UK.<\/p>\n

Professor Tad\u00e9 follows Professor Lucey, the previous Dean of Engineering at Curtin who is listed as one of 2007\u2019s Top 100 Most Influential Engineers for his role in the expansion of the Curtin Engineering Faculty and his position as an expert in the field of fluid dynamics.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Dietrich Georg, Managing Editor of Engineers Media, their Top 100 list focuses on engineers currently in positions of influence, either as leaders of large organisations or by virtue of their engineering expertise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe began compiling the list in 2004 with the aim of disproving the then widely held view that engineers were good at problem-solving but rarely made it into top leadership positions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustralia\u2019s top engineers work in a variety of fields in Australia and overseas, so we classify them into seven different categories \u2013 industry, consulting, academia\/research, engineering expertise, associations, public service and other,\u201d Dr Georg said.<\/p>\n

The 2008 list of Australia\u2019s 100 most influential engineers is the fifth Engineers Australia magazine has produced.\u00a0 The list includes engineers working in Australia independent of their citizenship, as well as Australian engineers working overseas.\u00a0 Names are not ranked, as the level of influence in the different areas of activity is difficult to compare.<\/p>\n
