In 2002 two staff from SMEC’s office, in Sydney and Phnom Penh spent three weeks on the Young Professionals Exchange Program (YPEP) in Japan. The YPEP is an ongoing initiative organised by the Australian Consulting Engineers Association (ACEA), the Association for Consulting Engineers New Zealand (ACENZ), and the Japanese Association for Consulting Engineers (JACE). The program commenced in 1996 to foster relations in the field of engineering between Japan and Australia (and New Zealand since 1999) through an annual exchange of young engineers between the countries. The 2002 exchange consisted of seven young engineers aged between 22 and 32, from SMEC and other Australian and New Zealand companies. Accounts by SMEC's staff follows. |
