Award puts spotlight on sustainable development work
Thursday, 31 January, 2008
Central Queensland University’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean Prof Elizabeth Taylor has been awarded the 2007 Eric Brier Memorial Medal for her contribution to advancing the public status of the engineering profession, particularly in the field of sustainable development.
The Eric Brier Memorial Award is a legacy bequeathed to the Queensland Division of Engineers Australia, awarded annually to a member of Engineers Australia.
Taylor said her award highlights the work that has been achieved in sustainability at CQU, and the future prospects that exist.
“CQU is in a great position to build on the work that has already been done in sustainable development, and to showcase innovative initiatives in infrastructure and in its programs,” Taylor said.
“We’ve achieved some great work in sustainable housing and solar energy and sustainable development in rural and remote areas, and there is more work to be done.”
