How to get involved
PRIMED welcomes professional engineering organisations and businesses in the broader engineering sector. We understand how busy you are, so we have developed four tiers of engagement for you to choose from. You decide how much time you'll dedicate to PRIMED and what benefits you'd like to gain from participating in the program.
If this is your first time working with us in PRIMED, we suggest Tier 1 as an ideal option to get started. If you have collaborated with the School of Engineering before, you may want to choose an engagement level between Tiers 2-3.
From here, you can simply indicate your engagement level and pay online. Your fee will be used to help offset the costs of organising activities for students and career events.
