The National Engineering Oral History Program aims to record for posterity in their own voice, the experiences, achievements and observations of significant engineers, provide resources to Division heritage units that may not otherwise be able to afford to undertake oral history, and establish an engineering oral history data base for researchers, biographers, historians, journalists and social scientists.

This guide details the Engineering Heritage Australia's Engineering Heritage Recognition Program. 

The purpose of the program is to encourage conservation of Australian engineering heritage and to raise community awareness of engineering and the benefits it provides.

This is an introduction to the application by Professional Engineers of the Performance Protocol, developed and implemented as part of the PPIR (Professional Performance Innovation and Risk) Program by the Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering.

This document updates previous climate change guidelines prepared by the National Committee on Coastal and Ocean Engineering and is designed to complement the coastal engineering guidelines for ecologically sustainable development and the climate change adaptation guidelines in coastal management and planning.

These guidelines have been developed by the National Committee on Coastal and Ocean Engineering. Following on from Guidelines for Responding to the Effects of Climate Change in Coastal and Ocean Engineering this publication aims at broader considerations regarding engineering in the coastal zone

This document provides guidelines on how to develop more fully the principles of sustainability and to enable them to be implemented in practice.

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. 

The purpose of this practice note is to provide engineers and others with a process for assessing engineering heritage significance.

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. 

The purpose of this practice note is to provide engineers and others with essential background information on the assessment and conservation of a movable heritage item.

The purpose of this practice note is to provide engineers and others with essential background information on the appropriate process for conserving a wheeled steam engine.

The purpose of this practice note is to provide engineers and others with essential background information on the assessment and conservation of an industrial heritage item.

The purpose of this practice note is to provide engineers and others with essential background information on the assessment and conservation of a timber heritage building. 

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 purpose of this practice note is to provide engineers and others with essential background information on the assessment of the engineering heritage significance of an industrial site.
