ReplyDeleteDear Reader,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comment and for taking the time to engage with my blog. Passionista47 is a platform where I share ideas and perspectives on topics I’m passionate about, including energy transition and sustainability. While I hold professional qualifications in civil, structural, environmental engineering and am a proud member of the Structural College – Victoria Branch Committee under Engineers Australia, this blog is intended to encourage open discussions rather than serve as a formal representation of memberships or qualifications.
For inquiries related to Engineers Australia memberships and professional standards, I recommend connecting with the EA Exchange forum. It’s a great platform for discussions, resources, and networking within the engineering community.
I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
