Engineers Australia’s awards program promotes the prestige of the practice of engineering while recognising the outstanding achievements of individual engineering professionals.

Systems engineering deals with the interdisciplinary approach and means to enable the realisation of successful systems.  

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. 

Structural engineering deals with the understanding, prediction, and calculation of the stability, strength and rigidity of built structures.

Environmental engineering uses the core knowledge of the environment to create innovative solutions for a sustainable future.

Leadership and management deals with business management or administrative functions in an engineering environment.

Information, Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering (ITEE) deals with scientific and engineering design to develop computer modelling tools, broadband capability, improve telecommunications systems, hardware and software, systems for media broadcasting and sound, and sophisticated electronics. 

Heritage and conservation engineering deals with the application and adaptation of all the traditional disciplines of engineering, together with an understanding of the elementary scientific principles involved which might not be directly referenced in current practice procedures.  

Subsea engineering deals with the design, construction, installation, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of equipment in the ocean or on the seabed.

Risk engineering deals with the effective and efficient application of engineering methodologies and approaches at every step of the risk management cycle, across strategic, operational, financial or portfolio/program/project objectives. 

Project management deals with the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria.
