Urban transport systems
The discussion paper is intended to give guidance to policy makers and other stakeholders in planning and delivering Australia’s Urban Transport Systems (UTS). The scope includes changes to the transport systems themselves and associated investment and decision-making processes.
Construction engineer learning and development guide
A guide to engineering competency in the construction sector. Developed by Engineers Australia and the Australian Constructors Association.
Energy governance and the engineering voice
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.
Guide for design practitioners and engineers
This guide covers contract terms, professional indemnity insurance and the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 (NSW).
Aviation infrastructure
This document has been produced with an aim to improve aviation in Australia and is intended to inform discussions contributing to Australia’s aviation economy, which is essential for communities, industries, businesses, and tourism. The focus of the paper is on the airport, from the air to the land side, including transport infrastructure planning and engineering, today and in the future.
Australia's skilled migration program
In this submission, Engineers Australia demonstrates that demand for engineers in Australia will always outstrip supply from domestic entry level graduates. A skilled migration program will, therefore, always be needed.
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.
PPIR: a program for professional performance
The Professional Performance, Innovation and Risk Program (PPIR Program) is an industry initiative undertaken by The Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering.
Creating effective workplaces for now and in the future – flexible workplace strategies
This brochure outlines various case studies demonstrating successful work-life balance, strategies for creating effective workplaces by implementing worklife balance opportunities, and a check list for organisations and individuals for before, during and after changes in working arrangements.
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.
Stage 2 competency standard for professional engineers
The Stage 2 Competency Standards are the profession's expression of the knowledge and skill base, engineering application abilities, and professional skills, values and attitudes that must be demonstrated in order to practise independently or unsupervised.
Stage 2 competency standard for engineering technologists
The Stage 2 Competency Standards are the profession's expression of the knowledge and skill base, engineering application abilities, and professional skills, values and attitudes that must be demonstrated in order to practise independently or unsupervised as an engineering technologist.
Stage 2 competency standard for engineering associates
The Stage 2 Competency Standards are the profession's expression of the knowledge and skill base, engineering application abilities, and professional skills, values and attitudes that must be demonstrated in order to practise independently or unsupervised as an engineering associate.
Fire and life safety in existing buildings during construction
This practice note provides guidance for the development and implementation of the fire safety strategy where continued occupation of an existing building is permitted while construction or refurbishments works proceed.
Design fires
This practice note is a supplement to the International fire engineering guidelines for fire safety engineers to derive design fires and design fire scenarios in a consistent manner.
Industry blueprint of successful in-house professional women’s programs
This paper has been developed following a round table discussion with industry partners. It looks at programs proven to encourage and retain women in the engineering profession including issues to consider, some of the key messages to achieve success and some lessons learnt.
