A list of all Engineers Australia Excellence Awards winners from 1923 onwards. 

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. 

People awards acknowledge individual engineers for outstanding innovation and resourcefulness in their work. Six awards are available based on the three occupational categories.

This interactive booklet showcases the national finalists for the People and Projects Awards 2022. Each finalist has showcased outstanding examples of innovation and resourcefulness within the engineering profession, the highest technical, professional and community service standards in engineering and inspiring engineering professionals who demonstrate contribution to the well-being of people, communities, and sustainable engineering practices, promotion of the engineering profession, and the formulation of resourceful, innovative, and aesthetically appealing engineering solutions. 

Identifying avenues for increasing female participation in engineering, by understanding the motivators and barriers around entry and progression. 

Engineers Australia invited relevant contacts to submit an expression of interest to contribute to the curation of CPD content focusing on sustainability. This report details the findings of that research activity. 

Despite having one of the world’s most educated and wealthy populations, Australia remains a chronic underperformer when it comes to the commercialisation of engineering innovation.

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. 

Overseas-born engineers make up over 58 per cent of Australia’s engineering workforce but are significantly more likely than their Australian-born counterparts to be unemployed. To find out why and identify how to overcome the barriers to employment these engineers face, Engineers Australia commissioned research to identify potential barriers to employment.

The External Voice Project (EVP) is a mechanism for delivering on a set of Engineers Australia Board priorities. This document explains the EVP model. 

This report presents Australian higher education statistics for engineering to 2018, focusing on the contribution of engineering education to increasing the national supply of engineers. It also provides detailed statistics for each state and territory and a discussion about the distribution of course commencements and completions between them.

Shape the future by solving problems – learn where engineering could take you.

Use this brochure when teaching primary school students about problem solving with engineering and STEM.

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 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 report examines the size, growth and character of engineering industry employment in Australia to improve the understanding of the dynamics of the engineering profession. The number of engineers working in different industries has changed over the decade 2006 to 2016 as the economy has continued a slow transition from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy. 

One of Engineers Australia’s key strategic priorities is to ‘create tomorrow’s engineers’, focusing the organisation on the future pipeline of engineers and building STEM skills capability within the workforce of tomorrow.
