Engineers Australia is committed to all future engineers, from the youngest enthusiasts to those hard at work in university. We're here to help you and your child with the resources and insight you'll need to make these important life decisions. You are devoted to your child’s advancement, and we are here to provide you with the insights and resources you both need.
With guidance and understanding, children who are curious, creative and bright become competent and focused professionals. For engineers, changing the world is not an abstract concept but rather a result of their endeavours as thinkers, designers and builders of modernity.
Engineers Australia will help you encourage and inspire a future member of Australia’s most trusted profession – engineering.
Engineers Australia's role as the voice of engineering
Engineers Australia is focused on the advancement of both the individual engineer and the engineering profession as a whole. We care about all stages of the engineer's journey, especially the introduction and exploration phase. This is where young students take their first steps towards higher learning and career-driven activities that will influence their future.
As major proponents of early and continued science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, we support the cause of one of Australia’s most treasured resources – bright students set to engineer a better world.
We work with teachers and advisors to help prepare students to attend tertiary courses and we are also the trusted accreditation body for those same courses. We provide engineers who are just starting out with a variety of options for continued development.
As a parent or guardian, you are a young engineer’s biggest influence. And we are your ally in the effort to guide their interest in engineering. Below you will find a summary of programs we have either created or recommend.
