Engineers Australia's insights for 2017, specifically the change required to realise the country’s political, social and economic aspirations.

Engineers Australian examines the need for an engineering pipeline strategy. 

The purpose of this project was to investigate, identify and assess the barriers confronting women in engineering in order to find ways to redress the underrepresentation of women in the profession. This was completed as a partnership with Engineers Australia and Monash University as part of the Monash Industry Team Initiative (MITI) project.

Engineers Australia believes that all engineering occupations that are currently on the SOL should be retained and this submission is prepared on that basis. The pro-forma on-line questionnaire unduly limits the interests of peak organisations like Engineers Australia in this regard.

Engineers Australia would like to thank the Victorian Government for their leadership in advancing registration of engineers in Australia. Engineering is one of the few professions in Australia without a national approach to registration to ensure the qualifications and experience of all practitioners, both national and international, is at the appropriate level for the engineering service delivered.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
