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.
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.
Our position on climate change
Engineers Australia recognises the scale and urgency of the challenges presented by climate change, the disruptions it causes, and the pivotal role of engineering in enabling a socially just transition to a sustainable society.
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.
Engineers Australia’s Diversity and Inclusion Positioning Statement
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.
Australia’s engineering capability: how the last ten years will influence the future
This report analyses and presents statistics describing the characteristics and size of Australia’s engineering profession over the period 2006 to 2016. It is the first report covering the three population censuses over the boom and bust cycle during these years.
National STEM strategy 2019-2023
One of Engineers Australia’s key strategic priorities is to ‘create tomorrow’s engineers’, focusing the organisation on the future pipeline of engineers and building STEM skills capability within the workforce of tomorrow.
Tasmanian workforce development plan 2016-2019
Tasmanian engineers work in a global environment and are deeply integrated into sophisticated supply chains. Importantly, engineering is a critical enabling profession that fuels innovation.
Action plan for mitigating gender bias
The aim of this blueprint is to increase industry awareness of gender bias and to provide industry with strategies to mitigate organisational bias, such that no employees suffer undue bias due to gender.
Women in Engineering: National Committee position statement
The Women in Engineering National Committee is committed to improving gender diversity in the engineering profession. It supports the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), Women’s Empowerment Principles and encourages organisations in the engineering profession to take a lead and sign up to the Principles.
