We are a Learned Academy which counts more than 900 of Australia's top engineers and applied scientists as its Fellows

Our vision is for a sustainable and prosperous Australia where engineering and applied sciences protect our environment, nurture a skilled workforce, grow competitive industries and enable all Australians to reach their greatest potential.
