The Australian National University 2 MESSAGE FROM T HE COLLEGE DEAN The Reimagine Project: Reimagining the future of Engineering and Computing ANU has embarked on a major initiative to reimagine the role of engineering and computing in the 21st Century. Our lived experience is increasingly one of large-scale systems of people, who’s actions and interactions are influenced by our digital, physical and biological environment. We and our technology are highly interconnected and yet highly diverse. Somebody, somewhere designed, built, and operates almost everything. Our world needs people who are experts at designing, ‘We will inspire a new and safely operating, the engine that is composed of generation of high-potential, all of us – our society. They will need to be expert creative people to come to thinkers about how to safely design and operate highly heterogeneous and interconnected systems of engineering and computing with natural and made things, IT and people – at scale. a diverse range of interests, We will reimagine the traditional engineering and motivations, perspectives and computing disciplines. We believe the role of career aspirations.’ engineers and computing experts in the 21st Century is to bring together expertise on people, technological We will nurture those people to go out into the 21st systems and science. We will not step away from the century world to find the right kinds of problems, the need to master a coherent foundational body of solving of which are truly transformational. knowledge, and we will not be confined by old We are looking for people who believe in the same disciplinary boundaries as we give shape to new things we do and who want to create something bodies of knowledge.
