CQU Pro Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean, Professor Elizabeth Taylor AO has been named in a Top 100 list of Australia's most influential engineers, published by Engineers Australia.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Professor Taylor has been named in this influential group - this time in the category of Academia.

She is one of only 2 women named in this year's list. The other female entry (from the Public Service category) is Shireane McKinnie, Head of the Electronic and Weapon Systems Division in the Defence Material Organisation, Canberra.

There are 25 pages of information on the list members, including an abbreviated individual history and picture of each of the 100 named.

Professor Taylor's entry notes that she:

" ... has implemented in her faculty a pioneering structure and management systems to support staff engaged in innovative curricula and research that 'moves beyond existing higher education assumptions'."

The entry notes that Professor Taylor is also president of the Australian Council of Engineering Deans and the chair of the Queensland Board of Professional Engineers, the first woman to hold that position.
