Dr Jeremy Smith
What I can offer as a Mentor
For the past decade, Dr Jeremy Smith has been empowering students through experiential learning and engagement with communities and socially-focused organisations. His creation of an Australian-first humanitarian engineering pathway at The Australian National University has directly impacted almost 3,000 people and resulted in increased employability for graduates; a 50 per cent increase in gender diversity in engineering at the Australian National University; and positive outcomes for partners in Australia and overseas. Dr Smith’s innovations have been adopted by nine universities, and are evident in the plans of the five universities who are currently designing and delivering award programs in humanitarian engineering in Australasia: these are nurtured by a network established by Dr Smith to support national collaborations.
