During my second year of Engineering at Griffith University in August 2021 my university friend Daniel Hardy and I established our own media production company known as The Engineering Buzzcast to help bridge the gap between students, professionals, academics and the engineering industry. As the name implies we aim to question these members of the engineering profession about 'what's buzzing' or 'what's new' in the engineering industry in terms of job opportunities, engineering innovation, recent changes to industry and lots more. After hosting and participating in on-campus inter club professional networking events we quickly came to recognise the knowledge gap between the students and the engineering industry as a whole. With the onset of COVID-19 and the rise of online media we quickly recognised that there was a lack of easy to use and up to date accessible information of not only local, but national updates related to engineering aimed at young engineers, so we set out to create one! Establishing a two on one interview style podcast allows us to ask these questions not only made by us, but also sent in by the students themselves, this free flowing conversation aims to provide students with a more friendly and recognisable outlook on the Engineering industry. With this accessible medium we hope to inspire, motivate and stimulate young engineers in the field of STEM and promote the importance of choosing not only a career that suits their skills and aspirations best, but one that they can appreciate!
