Introduction to volunteering at Engineers Australia
This document is intended to help our office bearers – and those considering volunteering – to understand our requirements and guide them as they work in partnership with other parts of the team to deliver our strategy and goals.
Strengthening the engineering workforce in Australia
Women in engineering
Identifying avenues for increasing female participation in engineering, by understanding the motivators and barriers around entry and progression.
Climate change CPD taskforce: research findings and proposed CPD program
Engineers Australia invited relevant contacts to submit an expression of interest to contribute to the curation of CPD content focusing on sustainability. This report details the findings of that research activity.
Commercialisation of engineering innovation
Despite having one of the world’s most educated and wealthy populations, Australia remains a chronic underperformer when it comes to the commercialisation of engineering innovation.
Enhancing productivity in infrastructure delivery
This document provides recommendations for implementation by Australian governments, in collaboration with industry and academia, to increase productivity in the infrastructure sector and to determine how engineers can best contribute to these aspirations.
Working with teachers on STEM projects
The guidance set out in these guidelines focuses primarily on establishing and maintaining sound relationships with teachers for each of the above endeavours.
Barriers to employment for migrant engineers
Overseas-born engineers make up over 58 per cent of Australia’s engineering workforce but are significantly more likely than their Australian-born counterparts to be unemployed. To find out why and identify how to overcome the barriers to employment these engineers face, Engineers Australia commissioned research to identify potential barriers to employment.
Barriers to participation in engineering and the value of interventions to improve diversity
Despite considerable effort, there is still much to be done to improve girls’ participation in STEM education and careers. The Engineering for Australia Taskforce has appreciated the need to act based on four issues they have identified. This paper reviews the international research literature that not only focuses on barriers to girls’ participation in engineering, but more importantly focuses on the value of interventions to improve diverse participation in engineering.
Engineering in the Australian curriculum F-Year 10 and Senior Secondary
There is no discrete definition of engineering or engineering capabilities in the Australian curriculum, unlike mathematics, science and technology. Rather, for foundation to year 10, engineering is addressed primarily across three learning areas: science, technologies and mathematics and through a specific focus on engineering principles and systems in the design and technologies strand within technologies learning area.
Australia's next generation of engineers: university statistics for engineering
This report presents Australian higher education statistics for engineering to 2018, focusing on the contribution of engineering education to increasing the national supply of engineers. It also provides detailed statistics for each state and territory and a discussion about the distribution of course commencements and completions between them.
