About Us
The National Committee of Engineering Technologists Australia (NCETA) is committed to:
- gaining wider recognition for technologists within the engineering industry and general community;
- creating opportunities for skill and career enhancement;
- representing technologists on Engineers Australia's national and divisional boards and committees;
- reporting to Engineers Australia's governing Congress through the Board of Engineering Practice; and
- organising technologist groups within each of Engineers Australia's divisions.
As outlined on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website, an Engineering Technologist ‘analyses and modifies new and existing engineering technologies and applies them in the testing and implementation of engineering projects'. Engineering technologists combine high-level theoretical skills with a practical ability to manage engineering projects. They have completed three years (or equivalent) recognised engineering tertiary study.
The National Committee of Engineering Technologists Australia
Engineering Technologists make an important contribution to the engineering profession. They:
- use their strong knowledge base to carry out specific and complex engineering tasks;
- focus on interactions within engineering systems; and
- identify and solve complex, specialised engineering problems by applying innovative practices and procedures.
The specialist knowledge of the Engineering Technologists is a key element in the practice of engineering. The Engineering Technologist’s focused learning and practical skills are highly utilised in industry and make a significant contribution to Australian engineering success and prosperity.
