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

Engineers Australia's insights for 2017, specifically the change required to realise the country’s political, social and economic aspirations.

A transition plan should consider all options, and transforming Australia’s electricity generation is not a matter of choosing just one technology for the future. It is using a combination of existing and emerging technologies, in a structural policy environment consistent with emissions reductions and meeting the demand for electricity. A secure energy future will be reliant on these policy approaches being successfully deployed.

Engineers Australian examines the need for an engineering pipeline strategy. 

The purpose of this project was to investigate, identify and assess the barriers confronting women in engineering in order to find ways to redress the underrepresentation of women in the profession. This was completed as a partnership with Engineers Australia and Monash University as part of the Monash Industry Team Initiative (MITI) project.

The Engineers Australia Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan is guided by the organisation’s strategic goals, especially create tomorrow’s engineers and provide a professional home for life.

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

Engineers Australia welcomes the development of the protocol and we further welcome the direction that the VBA is taking insofar as establishing frameworks and guides that will be available to consumers of services provided by Registered Building Professionals.

Engineers Australia's comments on the draft ‘Accreditation Framework’ that would outline the process by which industry schemes are deemed to provide ‘competent practitioners’ in NSW for building certifiers.

Engineers Australia’s annual report aims to inform members of measurable progress against annual and long-term goals, ensure transparency in reporting, informed by contemporary approaches to corporate responsibility reporting, give due emphasis to the key sections of the Institution including the Divisions, Colleges and Special Interest Groups, to ensure members are adequately updated on all areas of the organisation, and ensure the annual report process encompasses principal reporting obligations flowing from the Charter and By-Laws for the Board, Congress, Divisions, Colleges and Technical Societies. 

Engineers Australia submission to the Senate Standing Committee for Environment and Communications inquiry. 

Engineers Australia believes that all engineering occupations that are currently on the SOL should be retained and this submission is prepared on that basis. The pro-forma on-line questionnaire unduly limits the interests of peak organisations like Engineers Australia in this regard.

This edition explores the story of Barque “James Craig”, the Bairnsdale to Orbost Railway, trams in Australia, and Ferguson Tractors.

Engineers Australia would like to thank the Victorian Government for their leadership in advancing registration of engineers in Australia. Engineering is one of the few professions in Australia without a national approach to registration to ensure the qualifications and experience of all practitioners, both national and international, is at the appropriate level for the engineering service delivered.

This paper outlines the views of Engineers Australia concerning flooding and the improvement of the flood resilience of Queensland communities to flooding, in response to the Auditor General’s report Flood resilience of river catchments. 

Engineers Australia strongly believes that infrastructure is the essential enabler of productivity growth and it is essential to preserve and improve our standards of living. It should be fit for purpose and the flow of these services should stay ahead of population and economic growth.

Engineers Australia has long called for the establishment of an independent body to advise government on critical infrastructure objectives to support long-term social, economic and environmental outcomes for our great state.
