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 guide is designed to assist professional fire safety engineers, project certifiers, design teams, approval authorities and stakeholders with the practical and appropriate use of the Fire Safety Verification Method (FSVM) as contained in Schedule 7 of the National Construction Code, Volume 1, Building Code of Australia 2019, Amendment 1 (NCC).

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 report aims to contribute to an understanding of Australia’s engineering profession by compiling statistics about engineers in Australia. The statistical overview fills a gap created by the fragmented nature of Australian official statistics as they relate to specific professions and occupational groups.

This edition looks at the Towrang Bridge and Culverts, Avalon Airshow, the Lithgow Small Arms Factory and Museum, and a Melbourne Docklands cargo crane.

This guide has been developed to support the engineering profession in respectfully acknowledging country and Indigenous communities in a meaningful way. It encourages all to share the remarkable story of Indigenous engineering – both the very long lineage of Indigenous knowledge and engineering, along with the contribution of contemporary Indigenous engineers.

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.

This guide provides a reference document for different practical approaches and guidance for determining, allocating and managing the most appropriate contingency (time and cost allowances) at different stages of the project and program lifecycle. It excludes escalation and its interaction with other uncertainties.

This edition explores the launch of EA Newcastle Divisions’ Oral History Collection, the Völklingen Ironworks in Germany, a foghorn in the Shetlands, the Steam Pumping Engine at Lake Boga, and more.
