Susan Bertei is a Lecturer in the Department of Engineering Foundations at Charles Darwin University, within the Faculty of Science and Technology. Her research focuses on integrating First Nations knowledge systems into engineering education, particularly through community-based projects and curriculum development. She has contributed to collaborative initiatives such as the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Challenge, emphasizing culturally responsive engineering practices.

Her work bridges Indigenous knowledge and modern engineering, as seen in her 2025 co-authored book *Engineering with Country: First Nations Engineering in Practice*, which explores practical applications of Indigenous methodologies. A 2022 chapter in *Indigenous Engineering for an Enduring Culture* details her efforts to embed First Nations contexts into first-year engineering programs across universities.
