Engineering troubleshooting in complex environments

Put your engineering problem-solving skills to the test in this interactive workshop designed to simulate real-world engineering decision-making in complex, high-pressure environments. Ideal for students and emerging engineers, this session introduces structured troubleshooting methods and root cause analysis techniques. Working in small teams, participants will investigate a realistic engineering scenario, analyse potential causes and contributing factors, and develop practical solutions. The workshop includes hands-on use of tools such as fishbone diagrams and encourages collaborative problem solving and clear technical communication. Delivered as part of the Win your way trackside competition, this event features a 2026 Engineers Australia Ambassador. Selected for their ability to connect engineering with motorsport, Cedric Tan is driving innovation in their field and working to inspire members and showcase the impact of engineering in motorsport.
