Excellence Awards 2024: Project Award entry handbook
The Project of the Year Award recognises Australia’s top engineering projects and the teams behind them. These projects inspire and encourage engineering distinction through teamwork, innovation and technical excellence.
This handbook provides everything you need to know about nominating for the 2024 award.
Guide for design engineers and building certifiers
This guide takes an in-principle approach, laying out best practice in terms of communication, problem solving, record keeping and teamwork, which design engineers and building certifiers will find helpful.
Managing building defects: roles, responsibilities and collaboration among owners, strata managers and engineers
This document is intended to provide high-level guidance on the obligations, responsibilities, and areas of expertise of owners, strata managers and engineers over the lifecycle of a building.
Pathway to diversity in STEM review dialogue starter
Engineers Australia calls for diversity and inclusion efforts driven by commitment from organisational leaders and support from government.
Occupational category description and competencies for entry to practice: Engineering Manager
This document sets out the entry-to-practice or stage 1 competency standards for assessment as an engineering manager.
Future of rail transport
This paper calls for increased use of rail in Australia’s land transport system. It aims to enable policy makers, delivery agencies, investors, operators and the public to better understand the land transport situation and scenarios where rail can play a larger role, develop strong visions for national land transport effectiveness and mobility goals, and establish timelines for delivering major changes in our national mobility systems.
Enhancing productivity in infrastructure delivery
This document provides recommendations for implementation by Australian governments, in collaboration with industry and academia, to increase productivity in the infrastructure sector and to determine how engineers can best contribute to these aspirations.
Discussion paper: integrating DER in the grid
This discussion paper is intended to stimulate a conversation about what is possible for DER integration, and how Engineers Australia should engage with it.
Increasing women's participation in engineering education: actions for change
Engineering should be as diverse as the people it serves. For all Australian workplaces, diversity is good for culture and outcomes. Businesses thrive with a mix of ideas and views from people with different backgrounds and experiences. This paper explores actions for change.
Working with teachers on STEM projects
The guidance set out in these guidelines focuses primarily on establishing and maintaining sound relationships with teachers for each of the above endeavours.
Aviation infrastructure
This document has been produced with an aim to improve aviation in Australia and is intended to inform discussions contributing to Australia’s aviation economy, which is essential for communities, industries, businesses, and tourism. The focus of the paper is on the airport, from the air to the land side, including transport infrastructure planning and engineering, today and in the future.
Australia's skilled migration program
In this submission, Engineers Australia demonstrates that demand for engineers in Australia will always outstrip supply from domestic entry level graduates. A skilled migration program will, therefore, always be needed.
Barriers to participation in engineering and the value of interventions to improve diversity
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.
Registration of engineers: a case for statutory registration
Building confidence: how to use engineers to improve building and construction
Transport engineering education
This discussion paper is intended to guide the benchmarking of transport engineering streams in Civil Engineering Bachelor degree programs in Australia.
Acknowledgement of Country: a guide for the engineering profession
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.
Facade and external wall fire safety design
The guide provides a fire risk assessment methodology for suitably qualified and competent professionals to determine the potential hazard of fire spread via the facade of existing buildings. It offers a pathway to deliver a risk assessment appropriate to the situation being assessed and enables a level of safety to be defined, from which the assessment goals can be set and agreed with building stakeholders.
