After our recent treat from the R.A.A.F’s C-17 and F/A-18F over Riverfire weekend here in Brisbane, we thought it was perfect timing to share our Rocketwoman episode with you!

When looking along the Brisbane River at all the adoring fans gaze at the jets screaming along the sky it’s clear that everyone is a bit of a jet-nerd, but none more so than our recent guest Ruth Harrison! Since Ruth can remember she has loved all things planes, and made it her life-mission to join the RAF in the UK.

After starting out in the right direction with years of experience in the Cadets and studying Aerospace Engineering, Ruth’s journey hit a couple of heartbreaking roadblocks. Now she is looking to put some rocket fuel into the careers of other #WOMENinSTEM who have encountered some turbulence such as changing jurisdictions, raising children or caring for family.

This episode is fantastic for EVERYONE! But particularly insightful for foreign expat engineers, those in the defence industry, and passionate #WOMENinSTEM!

The Pretengineers Podcast

Cadets, RAF and boosting female Engineers with Rocketwoman!

Aerospace Engineering with Joni Sytsma

Like many University students, Jack and Ryan had no clue what it was like to actually be an Engineering Professional. Four years of tertiary education did little to help their problem; from there The Pretengineers was born. They understood the need to share experiences and lessons from those with stories who’d actually been there and done that to fill the gap left between University and Industry.

On this podcast you'll hear from both Young Professionals and Seasoned Veterans across a range of diverse and interesting fields on topics like gaining internships, their biggest struggles, various specialisations, and what they actually do every day. The one thing that they all have in common... an engineering degree. 

Find out where yours can take you.
