Podcast: Susan Krumdieck – Transition Engineering
Associate Professor Susan Krumdieck is a member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Canterbury University.
Susan Krumdieck discusses transition engineering. Filmed during her speaking tour of New Zealand as the IET’s 2010 Prestige lecturer on the 21st of April 2010.

About eight out of ten Australians live and work in cities and the urban fringes, so the conversation about how sustainable our cities really are is long overdue.
