This report provides high-level insights about the engineering profession for the period 2016–2021. It contains the empirical data required to make decisions to develop an engineering workforce that will be the backbone of a sustainable, safe and energy efficient future.

This edition is complemented by an interactive dashboard which allows you to explore the data. 

This annual report on Engineers Australia's performance informs of measurable progress against our strategic priorities, ensures transparent and responsible reporting for governance best practice, summarises the main activities and financial outcomes, and informs stakeholders, partners, media and government of our focus. 

The growing shortage of critical engineering skills throughout Australia is major risk to all infrastructure, defence and renewable energies projects, generating significant project delays and cost blowout throughout the country. In the Australian Engineering Employment Vacancies report, Engineers Australia is offering you an analysis of the current engineering labour market in Australia across all states and territories.

Engineers Australia has developed this water policy statement to suggest a way toward a prosperous, sustainable and resilient future.

This annual report informs of measurable progress against our strategic priorities, ensures transparent and responsible reporting for governance best practice, summarises the main activities and financial performance of our organisation, and informs stakeholders, partners, media and government of our focus. 

An investigation into the engineering employment vacancies in Australia during the period July to December 2021. 

This annual report on Engineers Australia’s achievements and challenges for 2020–21 aims to inform members of measurable progress against our strategic priorities, ensure transparent and responsible reporting for governance best practice, summarise the main activities and financial performance of our organisation, and inform stakeholders, partners, media and government of our focus. 

This paper is designed to elicit feedback that will inform decisions by Engineers Australia on its potential role regarding improving engineering practice for management of air in the built environment, especially in the context of COVID-19 and future pandemics

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.

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.

This annual report provides comprehensive information on our achievements for the 2019–20 financial year. It aims to inform members of measurable progress against our strategic priorities, ensure transparent and responsible reporting that meets governance best practice, provide members with information about the main activities and financial performance of our organisation, and inform stakeholders, partners, media and government of our areas of focus as the peak body for the engineering profession in Australia. 

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.

Engineers Australia held a climate change roundtable in Sydney on 26 February 2020, attended by many leading industry groups and organisations. This report summarises the major findings and discussions.

Fire safety engineers from across Australia tested the Fire Safety Verification Method (FSVM) in the 2019 National Construction Code, using six different typical case studies of performance-based designs that were typical of projects being undertaken at the time. They followed the methodology in the FSVM and associated handbook to identify the benefits and disadvantages of this approach.
