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 edition includes the Duck Reach Hydroelectric Power Scheme, Harris Creek Railway Bridge, Catalina PBY Flying Boats and the Belconnen Naval Transmitter Station. 

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.

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 edition looks at Perth's Secret WWII RAAF Bunker, Tram substation machinery in Melbourne, and new home for the NSW Australian Railway Historical Society, and the 2021 Australasian Engineering Heritage Conference.

This edition introduces the winners of the 2019 Colin Crisp Awards, takes a look back at Australia’s pioneer real radio man and the inventor of the famous tilting pad thrust bearing.

This edition explores saving Western Australia’s engineering history, seven of Melbourne’s tramway substations, the Sniders & Abrahams Building and making photo archives accessible.
