Dr Eleonora M Kopalinsky was the first woman to graduate with an engineering degree from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. She studied Mechanical Engineering and graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in 1966. Following her undergraduate studies, Eleonora stayed at UNSW to study for her PhD, becoming the first woman to earn an engineering doctorate in 1972.[1]. Her Thesis was titled "A Study of Bubbly Two-Phase Flow".
During her doctoral studies, Eleonora was a Teaching Fellow in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (1967-1970). In 1971, she was appointed as a temporary lecturer, making her the first woman to become an engineering professor in Australia[1].
After completing her PhD, Dr Eleonora Kopalinsky joined the academic staff in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, England. Whilst lecturing, she continued her research.
Eleonora returned to her alma mater, UNSW in 1982 as an Associate Professor, during which time she continued to publish research in the Journal "Wear". She was appointed as the Executive Assistant to the Head of School in 1988 and retired in 1998[1]
In recognition of her achievements, and contribution to engineering, UNSW have renamed "International Square" the "Eleonora Kopalinsky Lawn". This is part of their Celebrating UNSW Women Trail.[2]
