The Art of Interdisciplinary Coordination and Collaboration

The importance of interdisciplinary coordination and collaboration is key to running engineering projects smoothly and meeting your client’s expectations. This soft skill event demonstrates the need for interdisciplinary coordination and collaboration through our presenter’s experience in the building industry. The discussion is not aimed at technical knowhow but rather the key principals for all engineering disciplines to grasp the “big picture” of interdisciplinary projects. We hope to set the scene, and provide some helpful tips, for young professionals to further develop into well-rounded engineers.

Join us for three interesting presentations and a chance to network within the vast interdisciplinary engineering industry.
