ENGINEERING EDUCATION AWARD
WINNER
PROFESSOR SUSAN KRUMDIECK
University of Canterbury

Professor Susan Krumdieck is at the cutting edge of engineering academia, showcasing New Zealand engineering education internationally.
Her development and offering of energy transition engineering, and her world-first development of an online micro-credential for professional engineers are major innovative developments. Her online, international delivery of the micro-credential makes it both creative and inclusive.
Transition engineering is required for effective action on climate change and for building a sustainable future. Professor Krumdieck’s Energy Transition Engineering course inspires and enables discovery and realisation of effective change toward carbon emissions downshift, in a variety of organisational contexts.
Susan has a massive impact on the field both within New Zealand and internationally– as proven by her recent recruitment at Heriot-Watt University in the United Kingdom to lead a major new research centre in energy transition engineering and deliver the course.
