What does the title ‘engineer’ mean to you?  What is an engineer? An engineer in my eyes is a collective noun that encompasses a vast array of modern day professionals pushing the boundaries of human evolution. Still too broad for you? A common question I am met with as a professional civil/ structural engineer is ‘what is an engineer’? If you really want to know, grab yourself a cup of coffee, class is in session.

My name is Shaun Howard and i’ve been a professional engineer since June 2013. I graduated at Griffith University on the Gold Coast, Australia with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering. I’m from Brisbane, Australia but I don’t reside anywhere at the moment, on the hop is where I like to be. Since graduating, i’ve worked on a diverse range of projects throughout Australia within the Civil and Structural space. I’m a fitness addict, I love to travel and I love the term ‘engineering’. The term is extremely broad and I am here to explore what it means to be an engineer and the boundaries engineers are currently pushing to evolve the human race. 

Welcome to ‘The Modern Engineer’. Follow my journey as I bounce around the globe to give you a professional perspective on various, significant infrastructure.
