Australia’s first Indigenous electrical engineer joins the board of EAA
Eleven years ago, Ben Lange proudly graduated from the University of NSW as one of the first Indigenous electrical engineers in Australia. His passion for engineering was sparked when he travelled from the Northern Beaches of Cairns to Sydney to attend a week‐long summer school at University of New South Wales, organised and funded by Engineering Aid Australia (EAA).
We at Engineering Aid Australia recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People have a spiritual and cultural connection and an inherent right to protect the land, waters, sky and natural resources of their Country and their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to the lands, waters, seas, skies, and communities.
We acknowledge First Nations Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land in which we live, and Lore Keepers of the oldest living culture. We pay respects to their Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all First Nations Peoples
