THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SUPPLEMENT

Engineers Australia has published The Engineering Profession; A Statistical Overview for over five years. The Statistical Overview is a consolidation of statistics from official and other sources that draws out the characteristics and structure of engineering in Australia. The reason why the Overview is important is to provide the information necessary for evidence based policies relating to engineers and engineering in Australia. Statistical information about specific professions is limited in Australia. But, many important economic and social developments are dependent on the skills discharged by engineers and other professional groups. Ideally, there should be regular official statistics for all key occupations. But since this is not the case the approach taken in the Statistical Overview is the next best option. The Statistical Overview is pitched at national level because many of the policy issues that concern engineers and engineering are primarily national issues and because some statistics are available only at national level. However, States and Territories also have responsibilities for infrastructure developments and more general economic development responsibilities. Furthermore, a number of jurisdictions have or are pursuing active policies relating to the regulation of engineers. As a result there is a growing requirement for better information about engineers and engineering. The objective of the ACT Supplement to the Statistical Overview is to assemble available statistics for the engineering team in the ACT to meet this need. The methodology and statistical sources used are the same as in the Statistical Overview. Descriptions and explanations can be found in this publication and are not repeated here1. A building block process was used to develop national statistics from the aggregate of State and Territory statistics to ensure compatibility. At this stage only limited comments are provided. Chapter 2 provides statistics for the ACT from the 2006 population census. Although, these statistics are now five years old, the profiles they provide still assist the development of important insights into the characteristics and structure of the profession in the ACT. Another census will be undertaken later in 2011 and within a year or so, statistics for two censuses can be compared. Chapter 3 provides statistics for the university education of engineers in the ACT covering new course commencements, student enrolments and completions. All courses ranging from doctorates to undergraduate certificates are included. Post graduate courses improve the standard and quality of engineers in the ACT and undergraduate bachelors courses provide the means for individuals to join the profession as professional engineers and engineering technologists. Universities offer limited opportunities to study qualifications leading to careers as engineering associates. Statistics for these courses are included in this chapter. Chapter 4 looks in more detail at the flow of potential new professional engineers, engineering technologists and engineering associates into the engineering labour market. The majority of new engineering associate graduates are from TAFE colleges and statistics for these outcomes are included in chapter 4. Statistics include numbers of graduates by course type and by field of specialisation.

THE STRUCTURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ENGINEERING IN THE ACT

Key Points
The ACT engineering labour force was 4,806 in the 2006 census. There were 472 women and 4,334 men (9.8% and 90.2% respectively). The ACT engineering labour force was 1.9% of the Australian engineering labour force. In the ACT, the proportion of women was equal to the national figure. Employment was high and unemployment was low with an unemployment rate of 2.0%, compared to the national unemployment rate of 2.9%. Unemployment was twice as high for women than men; the respective unemployment rates were 4.9% and 1.7%, compared to the national figures of 2.7% and 5.2% respectively. Labour force participation by the engineering population (the population with relevant engineering qualifications) was 81.2%, slightly lower than the national figure (81.9%). The proportion of the ACT engineering labour force employed in engineering work was well above the level recorded for Australia as a whole. In the ACT, 63.5% of the engineering labour force was employed in engineering occupations compared to 57.2% for Australia. This share was lower for women than men, (44.3% and 65.6% respectively). The mens share was above the national figure and the womens share was much the same. About 37.3% of the ACT engineering labour force was born overseas; lower than the national share of 44.8%. About 55.9% of the ACT overseas born engineering labour force arrived in Australia before 1990, another 23.3% arrived during the 1990s and 20.1%% arrived between 2000 and 2006. Unemployment was higher among the overseas born ACT engineering labour force than in the Australian born labour force with unemployment rates of 3.5% and 1.1% respectively. The Australian born unemployment rate was consistent with very low frictional unemployment and skill shortages but this was less so for the overseas born. The unemployment rate for overseas born women (9.0%) was particularly high given other rates in Tasmania, but the numbers involved were particularly small. The distribution of industry employment had many similarities with the national distribution. The key difference was the very high proportion of employment in public administration, reflecting public sector regulatory functions and defence HQ functions. The proportions employed in education and training and professional services were also higher than for Australia as a whole. The large proportion employed in public administration meant that the proportions employed in other industries were below the national levels. The distribution of the employed ACT engineering labour force across engineering specialisations was similar to the national situation. The main differences were proportionally more electrical and electronic engineers and general engineers. As was the case elsewhere, the proportion of general engineers was over 40%.

3. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION OF ENGINEERS

Key Points
Domestic commencements in university engineering and related technologies courses increased until 2004 and then fell in an erratic way, reflecting the move out of engineering by one of the two universities. There has been some increase in recent years but commencements remain below the levels achieved in previous years. Domestic women commencements have been static over the decade examined. The womens share varied between 8.7% in 2001 and 17.2% in 2009. The shares have edged higher since 2008 but there is not yet convincing evidence of an upwards trend. Overseas student commencements in the ACT have steadily increased and in 2009 were 139 compared to 22 in 2001. In 2009, about half of the overseas students commenced bachelors degrees, about 30% commenced coursework masters degrees and the remainder commenced research postgraduate degrees. Total enrolments of domestic engineering students in the ACT grew slowly until about 2005 and have since plateaued. In 2009, 724 were enrolled compared to 609 in 2001 and 726 in 2005. About three-quarters of enrollments were in entry level courses and there were over 100 students enroled in doctoral courses.. Enrolment of overseas students in the ACT increased strongly over the decade. In 2009, 342 overseas students were enrolled compared to 57 in 2001. Enrolments were spread across entry level courses (56%), coursework masters (20%) and doctoraral courses (22%). Domestic student course completions in the ACT have been relatively static over the decade with outcomes in only two years noticeably higher than remaining years. In 2009, there were 121 completions; 93 bachelors degree and 26 postgraduate degrees. Overall numbers were similar to 2001 but the mix of completions had moved in favour of postgraduate courses and away from entry level courses. Female completions were also static and about 16% of the total in 2009. Overseas student course completions in the ACT increased until 2006 and have plateaued since. In 2009, there were 67 overseas student completions with 21 bachelors degrees, 39 coursework masters degrees and 7 postgraduate research degrees.

4. ENTRY LEVEL COMPLETIONS

Key Points
In 2009, 93 prospective professional engineers completed bachelors degrees in the ACT. Completion numbers rose briefly in the early years of the decade but have since stabilised at a lower level. The female share was 17%. Over 61% of new professional engineers completed a four year double degree in engineering and another discipline. The remainder completed four year degrees in engineering. Almost 90% of new professional engineers in 2009 completed their degrees in process and resource engineering. The only other specialisation of note was electrical and electronic engineering and completions here have fallen from 45 in 2001 to 11 in 2009.

No three year degrees in engineering were completed in the ACT during the past decade. Completions of engineering associate qualifications were mainly from the ACT TAFE system but a handful have completed university courses in 2008 and 2009. Completion numbers varied widely from year to year and are suggestive of a downwards trend. In 2009, 22 new associate engineers completed TAFE diplomas, mainly in mechanical engineering with several completions in civil engineering. Overall the flow of new engineering graduates to the ACT engineering team increased until 2004 and has fallen since. New professional engineers were 79% of new entrants in 2009, there were no new engineering technologists and new engineering associates accounted for the remainder (these figures include the completion of associate qualifications from universities).

4.1 Professional engineers

Table 4.1 shows completions of four year bachelors degrees in engineering by domestic students at ACT universities, surveying graduates have been excluded. Only domestic students are considered because these graduates are free to seek employment as soon as they graduate. Overseas students completing engineering degrees must first apply for and obtain a permanent residence visa or secure sponsorship by an employer for a temporary 457 visa to enter the Australian labour market. Table 4.2 also shows completions of four year bachelors degrees in engineering but in this case through double degree programs involving a second discipline. Both sets of graduates can aspire to become professional engineers.

4.2 Engineering technologists

There were no completions of three year bachelors degrees in engineering in the ACT in the past decade. There are several three year degree programs offered by ADFA but these are counted as part of the completions from the UNSW in NSW summaries.

4.3 Engineering associates

Most engineering associate courses are conducted by ACT TAFE colleges. There is a handful of completions from the ANU associate degree program but not sufficient to separately tabulate. Table 4.3 shows completion of engineering associate courses. The small number of university completions are consolidated into Table 4.4.

4.4 Consolidated flow of engineering graduates

Table 4.4 summarises the completions recorded in earlier Tables into the grades of the engineering team to establish the flow of new graduates in the ACT.
